New, old Mercedes and REAL AMG's.
Museum quality, 33K Mile 560SEL.

(Please click on this link for more high resolution photos: https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds...l/2008752.html)


Concours condition and flawless performance; all wrapped within an extremely low mileage time-capsule 560SEL. Add a rare factory combination of Mercedes-Benz's Blue-Black (Blauschwarz) body color with immaculate heated velour interior, paired with a factory still-in-the-box set of rear privacy curtains and you arguably have the best 560SEL currently available. Anywhere.
I will try to keep the writing to a minimum, letting the photos speak for themselves but there are a few characteristics that should be pointed out.
- Documented 33,002 miles.
- Clean Autocheck report available upon request. No accidents and clean Florida title.
- All original with flawlessly glossy factory paint. These photos have not been doctored like many other ads and they were taken with my MOTOROLA CELLPHONE.
- Interior is immaculate. Not a single rip, tear or scuff anywhere on seats, including driver seat.
- Every single function works as it should. Factory radio, cruise control, power windows, roof, antenna, rear reclining heated seats, door locks and of course strong/cold air conditioning.
- Always serviced at the Mercedes-Benz dealer with stamped service book dating to when the car was new.
- Before shipping the car to Florida, I took it to Mercedes-Benz of Pittsburg (May 15th, 2017) and had them perform a full "PPI". As you may already know, dealers will maximize their potential income by finding every single flaw they can possibly come up with. As a result, the following items were done by a Mercedes-Benz specialist within the past four months:
  1. New factory washer fluid sensor.
  2. New factory hood pad.
  3. New factory thermostat kit.
  4. New factory radiator (turns out it didn't really need one but we went ahead and replaced it anyways).
  5. New factory temperature sender.
  6. New factory rear accumulators.
  7. New factory rear door switch surround.
  8. New antenna mast with grommet.
  9. New rear coil springs and shims.
  10. Fresh fluids including engine oil and hydraulic fluid changes.
  11. Tires are virtually new with 95% thread left on them.
Included with this car:
- All owner manuals and dealer stamped service book.
- Unused factory tools.
- Unused spare tire. Never been out of the trunk.
- Unused factory first aid kit.
- Still in the wraps, Mercedes-Benz privacy curtain kit.
As you see on the photos, this car looks pristine but more important is that it performs as it intended thanks to its low mileage, proper care and due to the fact that it has been maintained to Mercedes-Benz standards since day one. As a result, its optimal mechanical condition allows this 560SEL to quietly cruise at 95+mph on the interstate while effortlessly and safely overtaking more mundane modern cars. The looks on other drivers' faces as this classic 30 year old Mercedes-Benz flies by? Priceless.

GL with your sale. It is beautiful. You are not kidding about its freeway prowess.

There is almost an identical one (not quite as nice as yours), that I see a few times a month on the freeway, gracefully blowing by everything on the road.

Someone is going to get one very nice ride.
