Vehicle Detail
Immaculate, no stories 1989 Mercedes Benz 420 SEL sedan with 140k original miles. Owned by discerning Mercedes Benz Club of America member. The 420SEL is arguably the best of the bullet-proof W126 series, and is not saddled with the air suspension of the 560SEL, which is very costly to repair. Tremendous high-way ride. Very well treated and maintained -- it is a well preserved and excellent running sedan. With the exception of stereo and CD Changer mounted in the trunk, this is a completely original vehicle . (Original radio is included.) The vehicle history report is clean without any accidents or damage. The drivetrain runs beautifully. The V8 engine is silky smooth and very strong. No smoke or leaks. Transmission shifts perfectly. Power windows/door-locks/sunroof/antenna/seats and mirrors are working correctly. The air conditioning is cold and the heater works well. Even the headlight wipers are working. All of the gauges and instrumentation are functioning properly. The white paint is glossy and brilliant over the entire body and appears to be entirely original. The exterior is in beautiful condition, and only a few random stone nicks. Bumpers and all of the lower moldings are in excellent condition as well. The alloy wheels are spotless and exhibit no curb rash. The undercarriage is very clean as well. There is no rust anywhere on the car. The interior has been well maintained and is in extremely good condition. All of the leather surfaces are soft and supple and clean, with little discernible wear. The trunk mat is missing but all of the carpeting is clean, with no rips, holes or damage. All of the trim panels and trim pieces are intact and tight. The dash and all of the trim in this car is in excellent condition without any cracks, fading or other damage, with the exception of a few cracks in the center console. Non-smoker. New tires with 4k miles. Pa inspection good until 11/2012. Just spent $2,000 on brakes, all-round mechanical refurbishment (see repair invoice in photos) by Mercedes specialist. I have put 6,000 highway miles on this car without incident. This is a beautiful 420 SEL in excellent condition.
