N., Naples, FL 34104 Contact: Bill Pahl Phone: (239) 273-1150 or (239) 261-3600 Vehicle Description Just arrived is this immaculate example of the ultimate Mercedes-Benz W126 sedan, a 1989 560SEL finished in stunning Cabernet Red Metallic with black leather interior. This car was traded to us by the second owner, who has driven and lovingly maintained it since 1994 - interestingly, he purchased it from NFL Hall of Famer Andre Tippet of the New England Patriots, one of the few guys who could afford its $75K window sticker in 1989! This car is equipped with power and heated seats (front and back!), full leather, power sunroof, dual airbags, ABS brakes, leather wheel and shifter, factory "aero" alloy wheels, upgraded European headlamps, and much more. In every way, this clean example is one of the last of the good ones, and is far better than most others out there that have gone through multiple owners or received little maintenance. This car has been freshly serviced by our workshop, with everything in good working order - the engine runs smooth, the transmission shifts as it should, the brakes are in great shape, and the AC is cold. These cars were the ultimate sedans in the 1980s, and are increasingly collectible today. What I love most about them is that they perfectly balance old and new - they are vintage enough to be made to classic Mercedes standards, with incredible build quality and bank-vault construction, but also modern enough to have airbags and antilock brakes, and be comfortable drivers at highway speeds.

This car has been freshly serviced by our workshop, with everything in good working order!Collectible quality, and an incredible driver. The European-style headlamps are stunning! When asked to think of a Mercedes-Benz, these cars are often the first coming to mind - its distinctive styling makes it a popular choice for props in TV shows and movies. The subtle and elegant design is classic and attractive. It has very mild curves and accents that dont leap out at you, but combine in a way that pleases the eye like few other cars can. Classic, reserved, German styling. Please call Bill Pahl at (239) 273-1150, or (239) 261-3600 for more information, or email us directly at cars@autohausfl.comthese cars provide a classic elegance that has been all but lost in the modern era. It would not be economically viable to produce a car of this intense "nuts and bolts" quality today. This car had an MSRP of more than $74,000 in 1989. In todays dollars, it would cost well over $100,000 to duplicate the engineering quality of the all West German production and assembly teams. This quality is perfectly signatured by the sound the doors make when closing - something like a bank vault. The clarity of the chrome, brightwork and lenses is in excellent condition on this remarkably preserved classic sedan. The Cabernet Red/Black Leather finish is a rare and collectible color. The sides are straight and smooth. The factory "aero" wheels are in excellent condition, with new tires up front. The factory leather is in excellent condition. The rich, wood trimmed dashboard is in excellent condition, with dual airbags for driver and passenger. This photo shows not just the low original miles, but also the deep orange finish on the speedometer. In most of these cars, this labeling has faded to lighter orange, yellow, or even white. To remain this much like new, this car had to be kept indoors, and away from UV light. The period-correct high-end stereo system was professionally installed when Mr. Tippet owned the car, and includes an Alpine head unit, remote amplifiers, a subwoofer and CD changer. Also an Alpine alarm system and Lojack. The large power sunroof works well. The leather-wrapped steering wheel is in excellent original condition and feels very nice to grip. Power and heated rear seats! This car has more lumber inside than the Pacific Northwest!The large trunk will accomodate pretty much anything.The potent 5.6 liter light-alloy V8 is smooth and powerful.
