Beautiful Mercedes Benz 560sel on 2040-cars

I really hate to do this, but I am listing my beautiful 1987 Mercedes Benz 560 SEL for sale.

My wife and I just bought our first house, and we no longer have the garage space for it. (And this car deserves to be stored inside, as it always has been). 

If you aren't familiar with these cars, the 560 SEL is the long wheelbase version of the Mercedes W126 platform, and offers the biggest engine available at the time with the most interior space. This is the car that you would see in the movies driven by Arab Oil Sheiks and foreign diplomats, with the flags on the front bumper. (No, I don't have flags for it, but I've been tempted).

The car is powered by a 5.0 Liter V8 with fuel injection, and it has abundant power to move very quickly, even for a heavy car. There is no comparison between this powertrain and the old Mercedes Benz diesels, which achieve 0-60 "Eventually."

If you would like to do more research about the Mercedes W126 platform, check out the Wikipedia page for Mercedes W126. (eBay would not allow me to include the link).

This car is in beautiful shape, and is one of the most desirable color combinations you can find.

The exterior is "Black Pearl Metallic," which changes colors in the light from black, to dark grey, to deep brown. 

The interior is finished in a light brown "Palomino" leather. 

I purchased this from an older Japanese gentleman in San Francisco in 2012. He inherited the car from his father, who received it as a gift from a wealthy friend in Southern California. 

This car is absolutely beautiful inside and out, and I receive compliments on it frequently.

I currently only drive the car occasionally on the weekends when the weather is nice, however I would have no hesitation to get in this car and drive it across the country, or use it as a daily commuter.

I have lots of documentation for the car, including the original brochure from the dealership where it was ordered.

I have the CarFax report from when I purchased the car in 2012. If you would like a newer report, feel free to run a VIN history report.

This Mercedes has a number of unique features, many of which it pioneered when the car was released in 1987. Among them, are:

-Power reclining rear seats
-Automated Climate Control
-Heated front and rear seats
-Hill-hold, prevents the car from rolling back without needing to hold your foot on the brake.
-Two different horn tones (City and Country)
-Digital external temperature display

Cosmetically, the car is in very good shape. The biggest blemish is that the chrome on the rear bumper is peeling. There are a few door nicks here and there, but they are minor. 

Mechanically, the only potential issue I'm aware of is that the steering wheel sometimes vibrates when on the freeway, which I believe means that it will probably need new tie rods at some point. I have had all maintenance performed by "Junipero Serra Auto" in Daly City, (A Mercedes Benz and Porsche specialty shop). 

The car is virtually stock, with the exception of lightly tinted windows, and an Alpine stereo with iPod connectivity. (Both were done by the previous owner). The only addition I made was to replace the stock floor mats with new plush mats, that are very high quality.

The car still has the original California "Sunset" license plates, which you can no longer obtain.

I am a car enthusiast, (Much to my wife's dismay), and I take pride in keeping my cars well maintained and looking beautiful.

Please ask any questions, or come see the car in person if you are interested. The car is located in Pacifica, California. 

Please remember that by bidding on the vehicle you are committing to buy it, so you must have your funds available immediately. 

Car must be picked up, I am not able to ship it. 

A $1000 deposit must be made via PayPal within 48 hours of the auction ending. The remaining balance can be paid via Cashier's Check in person, or cash. 

Thank you for looking!

    Wed, Jan 19 2022

    Autoblog may receive a share from purchases made via links on this page. Pricing and availability is subject to change. No donation or payment necessary to enter or win this sweepstakes. See official rules on Omaze. Normally when we write about Omaze sweepstakes, they involve a car that you'd never go out and buy on your own. A six-figure camper van build, a $300,000 Ford Bronco restoration, a Land Rover Defender that's so beautiful it should be in a museum. Today's prize might beat out all of those, because not only could you win a dream car, you'll be entered for a chance to win $100k cash to go along with it.  There are a lot of cars you can buy with $100k. You could buy a Land Cruiser Heritage Edition or a Mustang GT500 or 6 Chevy Sparks and start your own racing series. Personally, if I won that kind of dough, assuming I also won this Bentley Bentayga, my favorite of Omaze's current offerings, I'd probably use some of it to buy something quirky, like a Honda Element converted into a pop-top camper, or a restored/upgraded 60 series Land Cruiser. Think that's a terrible way to spend the cash? That's the beauty of it. It is completely up to you. No one can tell you what to do with it. Except maybe your spouse.  Here are our favorite vehicle giveaways we’ve found online this week: 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E GT Performance Edition - Enter at Omaze Regardless of what you think about Ford using the name Mustang for an electric crossover, one thing is for certain, the Mustang Mach-E GT is an impressive piece of machinery.

Well, thatÂ’s really up to you, because if you enter to win this Mach-E GT. it can be as low as $0. Here are the specs of the Mach-E in question, according to Omaze: Maximum Seating: 5 Engine: fully electric motors Drivetrain: eAWD Exterior Color: Rapid Red Metallic   Interior Color: Black Maximum Horsepower: 480 hp  Maximum Torque: 634 lb-ft Acceleration: 0-60 in 3.5 seconds Range: 235 miles Approximate Retail Value: $75,500 Cash Alt: $56,625 Special Features: GT Performance Edition; panoramic fixed-glass roof; Ford Co-Pilot360™ Active 2.0 and 360-degree camera; Brembo brakes; RTR Design Package including 20” RTR Aero 5 wheels, Nitto NT555 G2 tires and RTR Speed Block graphics Win a Restored 1969 Pontiac GTO - Enter at Omaze Joel Stocksdale, News Editor: There are an awful lot of ways to build a restomod.

    These are the 'Greenest' and 'Meanest' cars in 2015

    Fri, Feb 6 2015

    As has become tradition, the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) has come up with a ranking of what it refers to as the "greenest" cars of 2015, and, by way of contrast, a list of the so-called "meanest" cars, so those who value eco-friendliness over all else can choose which vehicles they should or should not consider buying. As you may expect, electric cars make up the majority of the greenest cars on the list, but, perhaps surprisingly to many, the Tesla Model S didn't make the cut. It's worth noting, too, that where the electricity an owner uses to charge their electric vehicle has a big impact on its overall environmental impact. "A car that is charged using electricity generated from natural gas or renewables is going to have significantly less impact on the environment than one charged on a coal-heavy grid," says ACEEE lead vehicle analyst Shruti Vaidyanathan. The ACEEE's list for 2015 looks very different than it did in 2014. It's an interesting collection, though – and we're sure this goes without saying, really – we'd recommend doing a bit more research into each vehicle and how it might fit into your daily life before making any purchase decisions.

    First official shot of Mercedes S-Class Coupe leaks out

    Mon, 10 Feb 2014

    With the official debut for the Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe expected tomorrow, it shouldn't be a surprise that some clicky fingers have already managed to uncover an official image of the car before the unveiling. Outside of this sole image, though, there's precious little detail on the new car.
    First posted by Autofilou and then picked up by WorldCarFans, the production S-Class Coupe isn't far off from the concept car we saw a few months back in Frankfurt. Like the concept, the leggy production model appears related, albeit distantly, to the S-Class Sedan. The hood and front fascia are longer and lower, befitting of a two-door, while the character lines in the profile are more pronounced. Obviously, the beltline and slim, B-pillarless greenhouse are coupe-only items. We can't see any details on the back of the car, although it does appear that the long hood has a correspondingly short rear deck.
    We'll have all the details on the official replacement for the CL-Class when it makes its full debut tomorrow. Until then, what do you think of this lone image? Does it appear that Mercedes has got it right? In terms of design, where would you rank this with the departing CL-Class? Have your say in Comments.
