Hi,


I came across this beautiful black on tan 560 SEC. The year is 1990, and the mileage is 140K mi. The owner asks $4900 for it.

Do you guys think this is a good deal? i am actually looking for a project car for summer, and I really like the W126 styling.

Tell me what you think, and are there known glitch in W126?

Thank you.

Cool

I'm thinking that the most important thing has to do with the mileage, the motor/mechanical (condition of engine) and the exterior/interior.

Does he have records of maintenance, etc? The other thing to consider is having it checked out as well.

The color combo sounds real nice, I can see it as a nice mix....

Price-wise, it sounds good...even with the current mileage.

If all things check out, you have a good thing!

Yeah that would be a project car. Cherry SEC's go for 2-3 times that.
