1990 SEL 560
Hi guys!
I found 90 560SEL SDN. It has 231k on the clock. I drove it. Runs like a champ! Everything but the sunroof works. It has the orgn paint, dash (no cracks) chrome rims. The driver seat is a little worn and the AC needs to be charged. I noticed a tapping from the motor but while driving or when it warmed up it wasnt as loud but passed smog. The trans shifted fine. While in park it did jerk into drive and reverse. The guy wants $1700.
Should I have checked for anything else and are thier any common problems with this car? I want to use it as a daily driver. Is this a good or bad idea?
Please advise..

It changes all the time
It's interesting that we are all from the Bay Area. I live in Fairfield. We did not say what the asking price for that car is. I owned a 560 back when they were fairly new, and they are nice cars. Unless you may be hauling a lot of passengers in the back seat or heavy things in the trunk, I'd opt for a 420.They are basically the same car.
