| Condition | A 1988 Mercedes Benz 560SEL. Silver blue with a blue leather interior. 57,000 original miles as per Carfax. The body is good, the paint is fairly new and looks good. A very nice and solid undercarriage. The original interior is showing it some and has some cracks by the dash near the console, as you can see in the pictures, and on the front seats, the leather is dried out. Mechanically the car runs and drives, but it could benefit from mechanical service before you start driving it regularly. It runs very rich, fuel system needs to be revised. Comes with clean and clear title. An excellent original car, needing work. Any questions. |

About this car
This 1988 560SEL is offered on eBay by mbvcars in Elyria, OH. The asking price is $8,950. The car is finished in Blue over Blue, an automatic gearbox, power from a 5.6L V8 16V engine. The odometer shows 57,127 miles. On a W126, check for rust around the rear window and in the battery tray, and test the vacuum-operated door locks and the climate controls.
What the photos show
- light blue paint is straight and shiny with no rust or dents seen, so no paint money on what is shown
- blue leather front seats are heavily cracked and the passenger seat has a tear, so budget seat covers or a reupholster
- the glovebox door is hanging off its hinges under the dash, a small but telling repair
- door card wood is worn and faded, so budget wood refinishing if you want it tidy
- photos include the VIN plate and a Carfax printout, both reading WDBCA39D7JA419152, with 50,528 miles last reported in 2017
- underside photos show solid floors with surface rust on the exhaust and suspension arms, so no structural money is visible
- the gallery tail is padded with Carfax pages and dealer adverts rather than car photos
- no engine bay photo in the set, so the engine's condition can't be judged from photos
Money: at $8,950 the body and underside look honest, but the cracked seats and hanging glovebox are interior money on top; the price is fair only if the unseen engine is healthy.
