Bid for your chance to own this 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SEL only on The MB Market! Finished in Arctic White (147) over Palomino Leather (274), this W126 is powered by a 5.5L M117 V8 paired to a 4-speed auto. This example shows long term history, thorough service, and a clean CA title.

@harry19 Thank you for your question. Yes, the SRS light remains on. This has been like this for the past year, however does not cause any functional issues so I have not had it addressed.
@PeaboThank you for your observation and comment. Yes, the RPM tends to go up and down on cold starts, however, after the engine warms up to temp, this is no longer an issue
@harry19 Thank you for your complement! I must agree :) The guides/chains have not yet been replaced. The door bottoms have no rust that I can see. There were no accidents or repairs to paintwork reported when I've purchased it in 1993 that I can recall. Since '93 it's served most its life to and from the golf course hence the low miles.
@PeaboThank you for your comments and questions! I have not replaced the timing chains or chain ramps from my ownership since 1993. I do not have any service records before then so am unsure if it's been replaced before I've owned it. The vacuum actuators that operate the door locks all function properly with no issues and have not needed repair. The A/C blows semi-cold air, but will likely need a recharge. I'll post a cold start video in the coming days.
