This 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SEL was acquired by the seller’s brother from the original owner in 2013, and ownership was transferred to the seller in 2020. The car is powered by a 5.5-liter M117 V8 paired with a four-speed automatic transmission and is finished in Seafoam Green Metallic over Creme Beige upholstery. Equipment includes a limited-slip differential, 16″ aftermarket wheels, a sunroof, heated seats, a Blaupunkt CD stereo, automatic climate control, and cruise control. Service since 2022 included replacing braking and suspension components along with the radiator, fuel pump, power steering pump, water pump, thermostat, and various belts. This W126 560SEL shows 100k miles and is offered at no reserve with the owner’s manual, a removed factory cassette stereo, a car cover, service records, and New Hampshire registration in the seller’s name.
The car is finished in Seafoam Green Metallic and features a power-operated sunroof, a power antenna, dual exhaust outlets, and bright window and bumper trim. The Carfax report includes a “minor to moderate damage” notation in February 2024, which the seller states was caused by a collision with a deer and resulted in repairs to the right-front fender.
The 16″ aftermarket wheels are mounted with Michelin tires. The car was equipped from the factory with a self-leveling hydraulic rear suspension. Braking is handled by power-assisted four-wheel discs. The rear brake pads and rotors were replaced in 2022, and the front tie rods were replaced in 2024.
The heated power-adjustable front and rear seats are trimmed in Creme Beige upholstery. Appointments include a Blaupunkt CD stereo, automatic climate control, and cruise control. The air conditioning compressor was replaced in 2023. A service record provided in the gallery notes that the rear-left seat heater and power-adjusting button do not work. The removed factory Becker cassette stereo is included in the sale.
The four-spoke steering wheel frames a 170-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 6k-rpm redline as well as an analog clock and gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, fuel level, and instant fuel economy. The six-digit odometer shows 100k miles, approximately 26k of which were added under current ownership.
The 5.5-liter M117 V8 was factory rated at 238 horsepower and 287 lb-ft of torque. Service since 2022 included replacing the radiator, fuel pump, power steering pump, water pump, thermostat, battery, spark plugs, ignition wires, distributor cap and rotor, and various belts.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission and a limited-slip differential.
The Carfax report lists the aforementioned damage.
The vehicle does not have a title, as it is registered in a state that does not issue titles for a vehicle of its age. It is being sold on its registration.
