Vehicle Detail
1986 560SL, Signal Red with black leather. A nice example of a SL that you can't lose money on. This car is a original paint and interior car. Excellent veneers and dash. HVAC all works properly and the original Becker Grand Prix radio is included as well. The chain and guides as well as filters and fluids were all recently exchanged on this car. Ot is fully serviced and ready to go. This car is almost museum quality with completely original paint even at 4 mils. Car is garage kept under a cover and has no rust or corrosion issues. The car has a crack free dash and immaculate interior. This car just had a $7,000 service including the timing chain, guides, motor mounts and subframe mounts. No leaks no squeaks. Perfect hardtop and soft top. CARFAX shows 6 owners but it is actually a one owner car that the family moved several times over 30 years. Look at the Autocheck you'll see what I am eluding to. I often receive phone calls from people asking me about what color SL to buy, what to look out for, ect. So, I thought I'd throw together a little video below that you could watch and learn a thing or two and maybe save yourself from some of the mistakes I made when I first bought one of these in 1998. A little bit about your seller: I have been collecting, trading, and wrenching on R107 Mercedes since the late 1990's. I have owned over 100 560SL's and have worked on a exponentially higher amount of them. While I consider myself no expert, I have a passion for these cars and know enough to be dangerous. I travel the country seeking out nice, unmolested vintage Mercedes for my own collection or to trade. Recently, I've been exporting a lot of these cars back to Germany. You have to remember, just like to 500SL R107 was never offered for US sale, the 560SL is a rarity in Europe. I travel by car, train, and airplane to find these cars and dismiss most of the cars I look at. I am a avid aviator and use any excuse I can to fly. As a licensed appraiser, I often inspect these cars for others, and usually know where "one is" that you might be looking for that I can list here on eBay. I created a new eBay account strictly for my cars. My other ebay account has over 500+ feedback and 100 as a seller. Rest assured, I know a thing or two about these cars. This car is offered for sale locally and in the event of a local sale, the auction can and will be ended at anytime. We can assist with shipping as well, we own a logistics company.
