This 1986 Mercedes-Benz 560SEL was purchased new in New York alongside a matching car as a "his and hers" combination and remained single-family owned until 2023. Finished in Astral Silver Metallic (735U) over Royal Blue Leather (272), power is provided by a 5.5-liter M117 V8 paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. Features include a power-operated tilting and sliding sunroof, automatic climate control, cruise control, a Becker AM/FM cassette stereo, power-adjustable heated front seats, power-adjustable heated rear reclining seats, and 15″ Gullideckel wheels. Recent service in 2024 includes all new brake pads, a window regulator, muffler, and an oil and filter service, along with a scheduled 60,000 mile service in November 2023. This W126 now shows 61k miles and is offered at No Reserve by the seller with a stamped service booklet, partial service records, original tool roll, a Carfax report, and a clean New York title.

The long-wheelbase body of this W126 is finished in Astral Silver Metallic (735U) with contrasting lower cladding and retains its original US-market lighting and bumpers front and rear. Features include a power-operated sunroof, headlight washers and wipers, and chrome trim around the windows, beltline and grille. The seller notes the passenger rear door was previously repainted due to a shopping cart mishap as noted on the Carfax in 1995. Light abrasions in the clear coat are seen up close. A spot of bubbling under the paint around the sunroof and marks on the bumpers are highlighted in the gallery.

Factory 15″ Gullideckel alloy wheels are mounted with Vredestein HiTrac tires measuring 205/65 on all four corners with 2023 date codes. The car is equipped with power-assisted steering and four-wheel disc brakes. All four brake rotors and pads were replaced in May 2024.

The cabin is trimmed in Royal Blue Leather (272) with a matching dashboard, door panels, and carpets. Original burl wood trim veneer accents the dashboard, center console and door panels and shows some minor hairline cracks and fading. Additional equipment includes automatic climate control, cruise control, a Becker Grand Prix AM/FM cassette stereo, power-adjustable heated front seats, heated and reclining rear seats, and power windows and locks. The front driver seat shows normal wear, and the rear bench seat shows some scuffs as noted in the gallery. All electronics are reportedly in good working condition. 

The leather-wrapped airbag steering wheel fronts VDO instrumentation consisting of a 170-mph speedometer, a tachometer with an inset analog clock, and a combination gauge indicating coolant temperature, oil pressure, instant economy, and fuel level. The six-digit odometer shows just under 61k miles.

The fuel-injected 5.5-liter M117 V8 was factory rated at 238 horsepower and 288 lb-ft of torque when new. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission. Recent service in 2024 includes new brake pads and rotors, a top-off of all fluids, an engine oil & filter change, new window regulator, and new muffler. The scheduled 60,000 mile service was performed in November 2023 and the factory service booklet is stamped since new. 

The Carfax report shows the aforementioned damage report in 1995 along with linear mileage updates and registration history in New York since new. This W126 now shows 61k miles and is offered at No Reserve by the seller with a stamped service booklet, partial service records, original tool roll, a clean Carfax report, and a clean New York title.
