This 1991 Mercedes-Benz 560SEC shows first recorded registration in Washington state with subsequent registrations noted in Oregon, and California.

Equipment includes fog lights, a power sunroof, cruise control, automatic climate control, and power-adjustable and heated front seats w/memory. Additionally this example benefits from the following modifications performed by Carobu Engineering; a rebuilt engine including new Internals, Headers, Exhaust, Springs, & Sway Bars. The engine rebuild occurred in 2024 along with a fluid service. Records will be included in the sale. The included Carfax notes the title shows TMU and the odometer reads 153k.

The matching dashboard and center console are accented with Burl Walnut veneer which shows some light cracking and fading.

Seller, ad states an oil leak. Is this at the main seal or elsewhere since motor rebuild has been done. Thanks

Such a cool car! Seller can you fill us in on if there’s any rust showing around the body? Near the trunk line? Undercarriage? Also any info on the high idle? Thank you.
