Hey guys its time to let her go. Car is located in Boise, ID.

1991 560 SEL

125,8** miles as of this posting.

Leather Mushroom Interior

Smoke Silver Metallic Paint

Heated seats front and rear.

Reclining back seat.

2 Kicker Competition 10" Subs in a box.

Alpine CD Player with Ipod hooked up. Model - CDA-9884

All the power windows work without any problems.

Comes with the owners manual and 2 keys.

Also have the original First Aid Kit.

All the doors and trunk open and close perfectly.

Sunroof opens and closes great except for when you open it upwards it needs a little nudge on occasion.

Windows are tinted 5% all around.

Seats are all in great condition except for drivers seat. When your in the seat there is a small tear on the left side where your ribs would be.

Washed weekly and waxed monthly. (Except for winter season)

Oil changed every 3-4k miles with synthetic oil.

A/C works great.

Monovalve was changed last winter so heater works.

It has scratches and some minor cosmetic issues but it is in great condition for a 91.

The hood has some dents and trunk has a good amount of scratches on it.

I have new accumulators just haven't installed them yet. The ride is a little bouncy.

On occasion the car wont start. You have to put it into drive then back into park and then start it.

It also dies on rare occasion after you start it up then go into drive. It feels like it has no fuel going through the fuel pump.

So after it dies you'd have to start it up again and wait a few seconds before going.
I changed the fuel filter so the pump just might need a cleaning.

It does not have a clean title.

Mechanically the engine runs fairly well but could use a tuneup.

The wood where the heater control and ashtray is not from an 560SEL

BigD560 · 09-26-2008, 02:42 PM

You may be ruined with the bad title. Is it salvaged or bonded?

Drewprof is right, somewhere down the line someone put the less desirable zebrano in place of the burlwood.

It's missing the headlight wipers too.

Maybe you can get $2500?

That is if you find someone who doesn't care about the title.

BTW, where are the front seat warmer switches and fanfare horn? And the coin tray is gone too.

I guess it was swapped out.

I still have the wipers, I took them off.

The coin tray was never there.

The heater switches are in the center glove box.

You think thats all I can get?

BigD560 · 09-27-2008, 03:36 PM

I am the 2nd owner of my car and I have done all the preventative maintenance, plus it's in amazing shape.

Also, my title is clear. With gas the way it is right now, I'd be lucky to get $3500.

PAS · 09-28-2008, 09:32 AM

I have had mine listed for $4900 for six months and not one single inquiry! Mine is in excellent shape with a clear title as well.

It's best to part out with our cars in parts

A few years from now, no one will be driving V8 unless you're willing to pay big$$$. I wouldn't be surprised that yearly registration at the DMV for such vehicles will be dramatically increased for political reasons. Enjoy them while you can!
