This 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SEC shows just three owners with family ownership for the past three decades displaying 115k miles from new. Finished in Black Pearl Metallic (199) over Gray Leather (278), power is provided by a 5.5-liter V8 mated to a four-speed automatic transmission driving the rear wheels. Equipment includes automatic climate control, a power sliding sunroof, heated front seats with power adjustment and memory, cruise control and an adjustable power steering column. Maintenance records dating back to 1992, when the seller's Uncle first acquired the car, are included with the most recent maintenance consisting of a full fluid flush, new headliner, fuel accumulator and auxiliary fan switch along with an AC service. This 560SEC is now offered for sale by the current owner in Los Angeles, California with both keys, over 100 pages of service documentation, the original tool kit, original manufacturer’s literature, a clean Carfax report and a clean California title.

The exterior is finished in Black Pearl Metallic (199) with contrasting gray lower body cladding. Chrome trim is found along the beltline as well as both front and rear bumpers.
