This 1988 Mercedes-Benz 420SEL was originally built for the Canadian market and shows first digitally-recorded registration in 1992 at 19k miles. It’s remained in British Columbia since new and shows 106k km (~65k miles) from new. The car is finished in Astral Silver (735) over Black Leather (271) and powered by a 4.2-liter M116 V8 paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. Features include heated electrically-adjustable front seats, a sunroof, automatic climate control, a factory Becker head unit, disc brakes, and 15″ wheels. Not much service history is included from previous ownership and the owner ensured an oil and filter service was performed.

This 420SEL is offered for sale by the current owner with an original first aid kit, a factory tool kit, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Michigan title.
