This 1990 Mercedes-Benz 560SEL is finished in Nautical Blue Metallic (929) over Palomino (264) leather, and power is provided by a 5.5-liter M117 V8 paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. Equipment includes automatic climate control, cruise control, heated front seats, a sunroof, a Becker stereo, and 15″ Gullideckel wheels. An oil service was performed in preparation for the sale. Now showing just under 110k miles, this W126 is offered by the selling dealer in California with factory literature, a recent Carfax report, and clean California title.
The exterior is finished in Nautical Blue Metallic (929) with contrasting lower cladding and features headlight wipers, a sliding metal sunroof with tilt function, and a power antenna. Close-up photos of the paintwork, trim, and lenses are provided in the gallery below.
Factory 15″ Gullideckel alloy wheels wear a set of Cooper Evolution tires measuring 215/65 on all four corners. Braking is handled by four wheel disc brakes.
The cabin features Palomino leather (264) seating surfaces and wood trim on the dashboard, center console, and door panels. Amenities include a powered sunroof, electrically adjustable and heated front seats, automatic climate control, a Becker Grand Prix cassette stereo, and cruise control.
The airbag-equipped steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer with an integrated clock, along with gauges for coolant temperature, fuel level, oil pressure, and fuel economy. The six-digit odometer shows 109k miles which are believed to be accurate and reflected accordingly in the Carfax report.
The 5.5-liter M117 V8 features Bosch KE-Jetronic fuel injection and was rated at 238 horsepower and 287 lb-ft of torque from the factory. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission. An oil service was performed in preparation for the sale.
Factory literature, original tool roll, floor mats, and spare items included in the sale are shown in the gallery.
The Carfax report first updates in 1995 and shows history in California with one accident reported in 2008.
A video below shows an exterior walk around, interior tour, and driving footage of the car.

@RacerWannabe Paint meter readings are uploaded along with additional pictures of the roof. Thanks
@V8AudiFan I confirmed there is no damage and it was just dried wax in the photo. Two additional photos have been uploaded, thanks.
Photos showing paint details and meter readings have been added to the gallery.

@babtainy Submitted photos to MB Market of the underbody and they are posted now. Thanks
@RacerWannabe The car has had paintwork and I will try to get paint meter readings tomorrow. The paint looks great on the whole car. The roof I had buffed today and it cleaned up nicely too.
@V8AudiFan I'll check on that wheel well tomorrow and make sure there's no damage. I assume that's just wax but will confirm. We have not done any interior work on the car. The material all looks OEM but I can see what you're probably referring to on the driver seat bottom cushion.

Is there damage above the wheel in photo 26 or is that a reflection? Also have the front seats been recovered or are they original?
Has the car had any paintwork? I understand that there was an accident in 2008 - are there paint meter reading photographs that you might provide to get an idea of which panels were addressed? I see the fading on the roof but it is difficult to tell - is the paint salvageable here or is it nearly worn through? Are there any other areas of paint damage?

Any underneath pictures ?
@DutchP We installed a new ignition rotor and cap, new air pump filter, and did an oil service to the car. There's no other records with the car aside from the service that can be seen on the Carfax report. Thank you
