Let me know if anyone has any last minute questions. I'm around to answer them.
@mpandoI'm not sure what you mean by period correct wheels. Most of the SEC's in the 80's and 90's had 17's, but 18 inch wheels and bigger started becoming more popular in the 90's. It's a matter of personal preference. Both look good. The stance in my opinion is the most important thing. If the ride height isn't spot on the aesthetics won't look good regardless what size wheel you have.
@NyazeThe engine is stock. Pre-merger cars were tuned by AMG which was a separate company in 1990 and was not yet owned by Mercedes Benz.
@Dgg516I replied to your message.
1. No not while I have owned the car. 2. The rear self leveling system was serviced within the last two years. I know the fluid was flushed in 2017 and again recently. It has not been bypassed. 3. No paint or rust repair under my ownership. 4. No rust anywhere. See underside pics. 5. Odometer readings are documented in the import paperwork. 6. I have my import documents. I didn't ask the seller for his documents when I purchased the car. 7. Everything functions properly. AC is is ice cold and has not been converted. I recently had it filled with R12. The gas gauge goes past the full line when I fill it up, but the light goes on when gas is low so it hasn't bothered me. 8. Yes, the stereo was professionally installed by Kartunes in Sterling VA. You'll have to ask them if they cut anything on the inside when they installed it. I'm not aware of anything, but I'm not a car stereo expert. It sounds great and is a big improvement over the stock system.
@PGT_FTWI use the two you mentioned and Silver Star Motors in Vienna.
I added the front spoiler AMG stamping pic. I will do the others when I'm in VA Tuesday.
I am currently out of town, but will be back in VA Tuesday and I will take pics of the AMG stampings on the spoilers.
@B613PYes, the spoilers are genuine AMG. I will upload pics shortly.
@NtrepidI would but I'm out of town this weekend. I've been there in the past. They always have cool cars there.
Hello MBMarket community and thank you for the opportunity to offer my car for sale. I purchased the car from a dealer in Germany in 2016 who purchased it in Japan and had it shipped to Germany. I shipped it to the USA in March of 2017 and took delivery in Newark, NJ. I drove the car home from Newark and took it straight to my Mercedes mechanic and had him change all the fluids and perform any maintenance he deemed necessary. I installed new tires, a stereo system that cost $5k in 2018, and a suede headliner in 2019. Aside from the headliner and stereo system the car is exactly as I bought it and has always been garaged and maintained with an open wallet by a Mercedes mechanic who services only Mercedes. It gets tons of attention and thumbs up everywhere I go. The higher compression Euro engine in this car pulls hard and is much stronger than what was offered to USA buyers. I am a car enthusiast and maintain all my cars in top condition. I'm maniacal about timely oil changes and routine maintenance. If there's an issue it gets fixed. Everything on the car works including the headlight washers and wipers as well as the headlight adjustment feature which USA spec cars did not have. I'm downsizing my collection and am offering this rare Japanese spec 560SEC AMG to a new buyer to look after and care for it like I have. Good luck and please ask any questions.
Will these fit a 1997 S600 sedan?
The winning bidder can always inject Botox into the steering wheel. I heard it helps smooth out wrinkles. At least that's what my wife claims.
Are the chrome headlight rings after market? Are they removable? Beautiful car BTW.
