Mercedes-Benz1989 500 Series 560SEC5.6 Litter V8 engine Recent developments (losing storage privileges) mean that we are reluctantly parting with a *brilliant* combination of German workmanship (1989 is the last year these models were hand-built in Germany), West Coast weather (100% California car), meticulous maintenance (fluids and consumables all clean), responsible driving (mostly highway and adult-driven) and noticeable pampering (clean, all original equipment). In other words, we are selling our fabulous 1989 Mercedes 560SEC in piano black with black leather interior.
