I am selling a 1989 Mercedes Benz 560 SEC. Awesome car, when I found it it had been stored in a garage for 6 years untouched. I brought it home, put a new fuel pump in, flushed the gas and oil, checked the entire car out thoroughly, and drove it. I have put about 3,000 miles on the car with no problems. I had intended to fully restore this car but am having a baby now and don't have the time or money to finish it so it is time to find it a new home. I haven't really done anything with the vehicle yet so it is basically in its unrestored condition and will need a good cleaning. The body looks great with no rust, I would say 9/10. Not perfect, a couple dings, but very good. Drivers side fog light will need replaced. The interior will need some work. The drivers seat has 2 large tears in it, but the heated seats both work so could be repaired. Also the seat belt extender on the passenger side is broken off, have the pieces to it but will probably need replaced. The roll top over the center console is broken up, pieces are in the center console. Headliner is good all the way to the back where it has started to separate, will need adhesive or replaced, but it is not too bad. All electronics, windows, and sunroof work fine and don't leak. Radio is original and only works on driver side, I suspect the fader control in the center consolde. Mechanically car runs great but has a couple issues. Idle is high when the car warms up, about 1200 rpm. I think this is due to the vacuum system needing to be gone through. Idle is a little rough sometimes but not always. Should have general tuneup plugs and wires replaced. Reverse engages right away when cold but takes longer to engage the longer the car is driven, all forward gears work just fine. Will need a rebuild soon, kit available for around $400.00 and not overly difficult job. Suspension a little noisy but not too bad.I am offering the car as a no reserve auction. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at any time and I encourage you to come check the car out before bidding. Thanks! Matt
