1988 Mercedes 560SL - 146K - Meticulous Records - For Sale

Have this gorgeous, meticulously maintained 1988 Mercedes 560SL for sale. Finished in 702 Smoke Silver Metallic paint with 274 Palomino Leather interior
146k loved and very well maintained miles, this is a driver quality car. It's not flawless by any means, but it's a perfectly rust free, accident free, gorgeous example that'll show well anywhere you take it. 

ASKING $19,500


Just in the past 6k miles alone, the car received a complete timing chain and guide service, new water pump, VC gaskets, belts, AC system vacuumed down, drier replaced, and recharged. All fluids serviced from front to rear. In 2006 the car received a replacement soft top. It has brand new tires on it's meticulous gullideckel 15" wheels.

The car is driven with regularity, as of 6/16/2020 the mileage reads a touch under 147,000. I'll personally take it over 147k miles as it's a VERY nice driving car.  AC is operational and blows cold. Center vents are non operational, which is a common occurrence on these models. Heat works great. Power windows are working great. 

The car just received a major service for this sale, including belts, oil change, transmission service, differential service to ensure the next buyer has nothing to worry about with this car! 


Here's a quick walk around on the car, forgive my terrible camera presence in advance please.

Both front fenders show some scratching from storage. The car was brought into Illinois 5 years ago, and sat around for the last 3 in a collection. It was brought out earlier this year for a thorough sorting for the driving season only to find itself parked in favor of other cars. 



The car has NOT been detailed for this listing. It'll most likely be detailed before it's sold, but there is no saving sun baked paint from California. 










You can see the scratching on the front fender. Fortunately, this particular scratch is not deep enough that it can't be detailed out.
