1990 Mercedes-Benz 560 SEL - 5.5 Liter V8 - 91,218 original miles Nautical Blue Metallic with Polar Beige Leather interior
I cannot believe I'm actually doing this. I'm ready to give up one of the best cars I've driven in my long career in this business. Yes I am a car dealer but this has been my personal set of wheels.
I have to tell you that one of the most iconic and recognizable Mercedes models ever produced was 560 SEL, there's nothing that even comes close. This particular series, code-named W126 by the factory, began its production run in 1979 and ended in mid-1991. Over 75,000 of this particular V8 series were produced between 1985 and 1991. The 238 HP 5.5 liter V8 was renowned for is sewing machine-like silky smoothness as it ran up through its RPM range. Mercedes left no stone unturned with this model. To its credit, the 560 SEL is still a highly revered vehicle, due to the safety, luxury and driver centric features that were included in this iconic model. Well ahead of its piers with technological advancements unheard of at the time featuring Dual front air bags, Traction Control System (TCS), Acceleration Slip Regulation (ASR), Seat Belt Pretentioners, Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), and advanced Crumple Zones were also standard on this specific model.
In 1990, Mercedes were still being manufactured in Germany, a country whose engineering and manufacturing expertise is revered by the rest of the world. The Mercedes name is synonymous with impeccable quality and safety and the brand today is still held in the highest regard for its pursuit of engineering excellence and its unwavering focus on being the absolute best car in the world.
This particular vehicle's MSRP in 1990 was $74,050.00 according to my research and in today's dollars that would equate to $138,782.00 which coincidentally happens to be about the selling price of a new Benz SL. Funny how that works...
With that said, words cannot describe the superior cosmetic and mechanical condition of this timeless 27 year old classic. In my opinion, this is one of the finest riding road vehicles that has been produced to this day. The Germans got this model right. You simply must stop in and experience this stallion.
The rear passenger compartment has the original floor foot rests. Your passengers will feel like royalty, that's a certainty. Of course this leviathan has every available option offered in 1990 on the SEL. This was Benz's flagship in their lineup.
This vehicle's four-speed automatic transmission is equipped with a topographical sensor that monitors the vehicle's position (whether on an incline or decline) and gas pedal position. The result is an extraordinary capacity to "hold back" acceleration when coasting downhill and to maintain the S-Class' position without using the brake pedal after coming to a complete stop on a steep incline. The transmission is programmed to start in second gear so as to permit smooth, wheel spin free launches
This mighty warrior would not be complete with fully functioning eight-way powered, dual stage heated front seats, with two setting memory functions for both front occupants to retain positions of power adjustable steering column and seat position for driver; and seat position for front passenger.
The rear seats feature individual, power adjustable seats flanked with a burl walnut grained center console that replaced the center seat to allow for a 2 + 2 seating format.
This vehicle boasts a fully automatic climate control system that utilizes an interior temperature sensor to more accurately climatize the cabin. This sensor is mounted overhead (near the sunroof switch) so that when the roof is opened, the sensor detects cool air-flow and calls upon the system to adjust heat flow accordingly. How trick is that?!
And yes, an exterior temperature sensor with LCD display is set in the main instrument console below the speedometer to inform the driver (that's you) of exterior conditions.
I know what you're asking... "With a pedigree like this, did this stately work of art ever have any awards bestowed on it?" Huh, Funny that you asked...
In fact, in 1990, with the S-Class leading its sales, Mercedes-Benz received the highest customer ratings in the J.D. Power Sales Satisfaction Index.
A vehicle with an amazing legacy...
This series of S-Class has been the most popular S-Class on record in terms of units produced. The 560 SEL 12-year production run was longer than any S-Class before or since. The additional production of W126 models until 1994 in South Africa following the debut of the S-Class in 1991 was a testament to the W126's popularity in the export market. Many 560 SEL have been prominently featured in films long after production ended. Many world leaders of the time could be seen being driven around in a W126. Nelson Mandela, the man who reunited South Africa, owned a red 500 SE and even the evil dictator Saddam Hussein used to himself, drive at least one made to order flame throwing, armored 560 SEL. Even today, many countries use this particular model for the transportation of heads of state and it's no wonder, is it?
Knowing that lineage, if you are looking for a beautiful German Autobahn cruiser that has been maintained and cared for, then this car is for you. I have the original owner's manual for this model. Do not accept anything less in your quest for the ultimate road car... Plenty of meat on the sneakers, (look at the pics). This car gets me more compliments than I can count on my twelve fingers and toes. I will indeed miss it as I've grown extremely fond of her. She's a real head turner; classy yet ominous with an understated, timeless elegant look.
More pictures are available and I am happy to make a personalized video of this vehicle once we have had a chance to discuss. Do your research. This car, in this condition, is well worth it. Thank you so much and I hope my baby finds a good home. :)
