Vehicle description

1991 Mercedes Benz 560sec
This 1991 Mercedes-Benz 560SEC is finished in Black Pearl Metallic over black leather and carried an original MSRP of $86,555 according to the included window sticker. The car was first sold in California and was purchased by its second owner in 1996. The seller acquired the car from its second owner in late 2014, and it has stayed in California from new. The odometer now shows 147,560 miles, and power comes from a 5.6-liter V8 paired to a 4-speed automatic transmission. This W126 is described as stock aside from a Kenwood stereo head unit, and it was most recently serviced in August 2017 as detailed below. The car is now being offered with recent service records, factory books, a clear Carfax, and a clean California title.
The exterior is finished in Black Pearl Metallic, and a scrape on the front bumper below the passenger-side headlamp is shown in the gallery. The seller reports that all exterior lights are functional. Note the early 1990s-issue California plates front and rear.
This car utilizes a self-leveling rear suspension system, which reportedly works properly and is claimed to be leak-free. Pirelli P6 all-season tires were mounted on the polished OEM 15″ wheels just over a year ago.
The black leather cabin features dual power and heated front seats. A tear in the driver’s lower seat cushion can be seen and is also depicted in the gallery.
A Kenwood CD/MP3/USB/Blueetooth head unit is installed, while the rest of the interior has been kept stock. The heater, A/C, buttons, windows, and other features are claimed to function properly. The seller has added approximately 13k miles since late 2014, and the six-digit odometer currently shows 147,560 miles.
According to Mercedes, the naturally-aspirated 5.6-liter V8 produced 238 horsepower in US-spec cars when new. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a 4-speed automatic transmission. On August 6, 2017 the car received a Mobil 1 synthetic oil change, a coolant system flush, a new air filter, and new transmission/differential/transaxle/power steering fluids. Complete service records from the past four years and a few receipts from the previous owner are included. This Mercedes passed a California emissions test in December 2017.
According to the original window sticker, this car is optioned with ASR Automatic Slip Control and carried a total MSRP of $86,555. Factory manuals also accompany the sale.
The accident-free Carfax dates back to November 1992 when the car had just under 19k miles. Southern California ownership is reported along with consistent odometer readings.
My car was previously featured on Bring A Trailer .com. The auction concluded Friday June 1st 2018 at a final bid of $10,000. Due to the buyer having some last minute financial difficulties, the sell fell through. BAT reached out to many back up bidders a few weeks after the buyer informed me of his situation at the moment. Unfortunately they had already struck deals with other sellers with C126 cars.
Please note that this is not a perfect concord car. It is a fantastic driver with zero mechanical issues. This car is almost 30 years old. The paint is in great shape for its age. I assume it’s been touched up over the course of its lifetime to remain in such good condition. Expect a blemish or two but nothing significant.
Feel free to contact me with any questions or to schedule an appointment to see the car.
