Mercedes Benz -560 SEC-California Car-26 years. Restored to Near Musium Quality!

NOTE - NOTE - NOTE - Lots of photos at the end of this listing, so keep scrolling down!!

It is absolutely one of the best in the nation!

In 1989, this beauty listed for $81,620, or $163,534 in 2017 dollars!

This is a California car since new and absolutely no rust ever. One family owner from 1989 to 2015, or 26 years, then purchased by another California collector, who took a year to restore this vehicle.

He lost his warehouse space and I purchased it in September, 2016, sight unseen. I finished the work with;

1. New front windshield

2. Power steering pump rebuild

3. A/C compressor

4. Cruise control repair

5. Heating Unit Repair

These repairs were completed at a cost of over $6,000!!

There isn’t a better 560 SEC in the nation, period! You will never, and I mean never, find a nicer example of this beautiful, rare and restored 560 SEC.

Tons of money was spent by the restorer and by me on this marvelous vehicle to bring it to this current, almost museum quality and condition. If there’s a better one, I haven't seen it!

Comes with the original window sticker, manuals, restoration receipts, California plates, CarFax, etc.

This is a pristine, no rust, no damage, no excuse 560 SEC. Not the rust buckets with no history, 200k miles and needing thousands of dollars of work like most you see here on E-Bay. This unbelievable 1989 Mercedes Benz 560SEC has the original window sticker and many records and documents.

It has been a California car all it’s life until I purchased it and brought it to Kansas in September, 2016.

The car needs nothing and everything works!!

I have tons of records and documents on this vehicle.

The original owner, a very successful businessman and real estate developer in Newport Beach, passed on 3/30/2002 and his wife kept and drove the car. When she was unable to drive, she gave the car to her 50+ year old son, who rarely drove it.

So, same family from 1989 to early 2015.

He sold it to the second owner, a collector, in early 2015 and he spent all of 2015 and part of 2016 painting and restoring the vehicle. However, he lost his warehouse space and had to sell his collection.

I purchased the vehicle from him in September, 2016.

The vehicle was repainted at a cost of $7,500 and had 104,881 miles on it during the one year restoration. Entire restoration was started in 2015 and I finished up in November, 2017.

The vehicle was and is rust free and, according to the body shop owner (whom I’ve talked to), is a no hit, no damage vehicle that spent its entire life in California. Paint, chrome, brightwork, are all either OEM or polished to new condition. New tires, wheels, headlamps, corner lights, tail lights are all OEM factory new.

The vehicle has about 106,200 on it now. I’m driving it sparingly to keep everything working, so it may have a few more miles on it when you purchase it.

This 1989 model shares all of the features with the 1990 and 1991 models, not the older, less desirable models from 1986 to 1988.

It is one of the most desirable and hard to find color combination with white exterior and beautiful light gray interior.

When the car was purchased it was all in original condition. Restoration included new paint, new headlights, corner lights, taillights (all OEM new parts).

All the emblems are brand new. All the stainless steel trim has been professionally polished or replaced with OEM, including all trim around the windows.

Tires are brand new Michelin's with new chromed factory wheels.

Paint is new and is in perfect shape with no door dings, rock chips, damage, etc. $7,500.

Electronics are also perfect and everything works as they are supposed to.

The vehicle was completely serviced so there is no reason why you can’t drive this car across the country!!

Last winter, I kept this vehicle in a heated climate controlled garage all winter and it did not leak a drop of oil! There were no fluid leaks, oil leaks, absolutely no smoke or funny noises.

But, to get it ready for the summer, I took the car in to my service mechanic in May, 2017, and asked him to completely go over the vehicle.

He found that the power steering pump was just starting to leak, so we had it completely rebuilt.

Also, the Air Conditioning wasn’t blowing cold, so we put Freon in it that didn’t hold and installed a new compressor.

Front windshield was replaced as it had a small rock chip in it.

The car shifts perfectly, drives straight as an arrow.

I’m describing this vehicle accurately, but welcome any personal review or test drive. Should you wish, and at your cost, I’ll be glad to take the vehicle to a Mercedes Benz dealer and have them provide you with an analysis of this beauty. You will appreciate the value and quality of this rare Mercedes.

You could spend over $30,000.00 finding a 560SEC with perhaps 30,000 miles, but I can guarantee you it will not be cleaner or in better condition than this.

I try to spend a great deal of time to list all of the features and provide you with a complete description of this vehicle. However, should you have any questions, however, please e-mail me.
