The vehicle has been made and assembled entirely in Germany, and consists only of Germany made parts. It's a great color for this model and you just can't go wrong with a silver Mercedes-Benz and black leather interior - it really stands out! The 560SEC (W126 S-Class) was a champion in the luxury car market, dominating worldwide sales during its production run.There are no reported manufacturer's defects on this vehicle. A never-smoked-in before beauty that looks great and smells clean. Runs strong and smooth and provides the power you have come to expect from a luxury car such as this. The transmission has the Mercedes mark on it as well and shifts like on a new car, no skips or slips on shifts. The car runs very well!As you can judge yourself from the pictures - the interior is spotless while the seats show almost no wear and are in excellent condition! This car has a climate control system and the AC blows ice-cold. Extra comfort comes from the excellent power memory front seats and all around heated seats! The power locks, tilt wheel, power windows, power seats and sunroof (and all the other electrical features) all work. This vehicle is equipped with an Airbag for your maximum safety and protection. You and your loved ones will feel safe driving and being in this vehicle! As seen in the pictures the rims look great while the tires on this auto have been rotated, balanced and as you can see, still have plenty of tread wear left. There were very few of those Mercedes were made for the US, this is your chance to own a truly unique luxury coupe painted in classic MB silver.A list the most Frequently Asked Questions and their respective answers is posted below to assist our customers in the purchasing process.Q: Do you offer financing on your vehicles?A: We do not offer financing on most of the vehicles we sell, due to the nature of the cars, as most institutions do no offer financing for older vehicles. You can however, in most cases, get financing from credit unions, if you are a member of one. There are also lending institutions that specialize in older unique vehicles - some of the ones we have worked with in the past are: www.lightstream.com, www.jjbest.comQ: I looked up the KBB private/dealer value for your 1992 Jaguar XJS with 29k miles on it and it only comes out at $4,500, how come your asking price is so much higher?A: KBB, Edmunds and similar resources provide calculated market value information that is based on data supplied to them from state resources, such as the DMV and Tax Office. They then have formulas to account for possible options on vehicles (which is why sometimes an option of premium sound system can increase their calculation by $300 on a vehicle that is only worth $3400). In general most older vehicles that are sold on the market are sold with high miles, in less than ideal condition. Many of these are sold privately with a declared value less than actual sale price. So while KBB and other resources work pretty well on vehicles 10 year old and newer with average miles, they would not work for the example above and in similar situations, even for newer vehicles. a 1992 Jaguar XJS in average condition with 240,000 miles (the average mileage of a vehicle that old) might be worth 3,200 KBB has no DATA know the value of same vehicle in pristine condition with very low mileage on it - the actual market value of this vehicle is around $14,000 give or take depending on condition, color combination, etc. And of course similar car with even less miles on it - lets say just 15,000 miles is probably worth $20,000 or moreQ: I am interested in the 2001 BMW 740, have you personally driven it? Have you had it checked?A: Unlike most dealers, we don't just flip cars for high turn over. We invest time and money into every vehicle we sell, starting with getting good solid cars to begin with! Every vehicle we get, goes through an inspection process in our service facility. We will check the vehicle over and address the problems on the car. Some of the things we check are - brakes, suspension, road noise and vibration, engine operation, transmission operation, cooling and lubrication system, steering and alignment, presence of significant leaks(not moist oil spots that accumulated over the past 5 years) soft top operation and more. This DOES NOT however means we will fix every wear and tear item on the car - for example, if the vehicles brakes are at 45% and preform fine, we would not touch them, if they are at 35% but exhibit noise or shudder, we would address the issue, if they are at 15% we would replace them because they are low enough to warranty the replacement (to put that in context, brake pads fail PA safety inspection at 2/32” or 1.5mm, typical new pad thickness is 12mm or around 16/32). We also extensively test drive our vehicles. However, it is impossible for our salespeople to personally test drive ever vehicle - that's why we employ qualified mechanics that do. Further, the fact that we test and repair problems on the vehicles we sell should not be misconstrued as a warranty of any kind - we do our best to repair any problems the vehicle might have, however these are used vehicles, and it is up to you, the buyer, to satisfy yourself as to the actual condition of the vehicle. The final burden of buyer diligence is on you, and we will do our best to assist you in any way we can.Q: I just love the classic 1988 Jeep Grand Wagoneer that you have to sale, can you tell me its previous history and where did you get this car?A: While our sales people/staff will love to tell you everything they know about a particular car, they often simply might not have the answers you are looking for. Most often, our vehicles are sourced from new-car dealers trade ins. We work with dealers all over the US and have a first hand pick at some of the vehicles that interest us. This often comes at a premium, but we cannot afford to pass on the clean cars our customers expect us to deliver. We also source our vehicles from other wholesale sources and some of them get traded in to us for a vehicle we sold. Our sales people are not related to the vehicle acquirement process so sometimes they might not have an answer - that doesn't mean you can't ask - they will let you know everything they know about the vehicle!Q: I want to stop by and check out that green 2006 Range Rover that you got, sometime this week.A: We welcome inspections of any kind, however, please keep the following in mind - we have 2 facilities in different locations. Vehicles get moved into and out of storage. You will need to set up an exact time and date to view a vehicle - the vehicle would need to be pulled out and your test drive coordinated with a sales person. If you are planing on looking at a vehicle several days or more out, we strongly recommend you leave a deposit for us to hold the car - that way you wont be making plans that you would need to cancel in case the vehicle is sold. We DO NOT hold vehicles without a deposit.Q: I want to secure a vehicle, and put down a deposit on it - is my deposit refundable?A: Discussing the terms of your deposit to secure the car is up to you and the sales-person. As a general rule, deposits for cars in the automotive business are NON-REFUNDABLE, since vehicles are not easily stock-able - this specifically applies to used cars. This does not mean however that we would not refund your deposit within good reason. We do not refund deposits where the customer does not show good will to follow up on the purchase - in other words, if you put down a deposit on a vehicle, wait a week, and change your mind because your wife does not like the color of the vehicle, or if you found a vehicle that you like more - don't expect a refund. We think it's fair, because we would never sell a vehicle that we have a deposit for to someone else, and if we are holding a car for you, we are losing customers that would potentially pay more than you did.Terms, Conditions and General Guidelines concerning our vehiclesBuyer Guidelines Please realize that though we make our best effort to describe every vehicle accurately, there will be normal wear and tear for the age and mileage on the vehicle - simply due to the fact that these are previously owned vehicles.

There is a chuck worn off the driver seat though the other leather areas are in very good condition AND the heated seats work nicely.

Mercedes Benz 560 SEL W126 1990 Stunning condition, meticulously maintained & low mileage! This is an amazing and simply gorgeous condition Mercedes 560 SEL. Finished in black with black leather interior there is virtually nothing on this example that is not simply immaculate. The best way to describe this S-class is to pretend you are in 1993 and you are buying a well-kept certified 1990 Mercedes from the authorised dealer. It is that good. The car presents ultra clean, very original beautiful paint which is shiny and lustrous. The car was owned by 2 meticulous owners who babied the car and drove it sparingly and on special occasions only. Everything works as it should and as pictures show, is in immaculate presentation. Recently serviced and all in working order. The car idles smooth. For those who known these cars well, it can be typical to have one that idles a little lumpy (fuel distributor and supply), but this one is ultra smooth. Power-wise, she is very strong and does not miss a beat at any speed. She kicks down under power and changes thru the gears smooth under normal or heavy driving (poor examples will tend to change hard between gears). Brakes were recently done as were the rear gas spheres (height control). Mechanically the car is fantastic with no issues. Just a quick look under the hood is testament to how well this Mercedes has been maintained. The low miles on the car are well supported by CarFax and AutoCheck and the score ranks very high (full report below). AutoCheck shows 4 owners but it has had only 2, with the first owner buying the car in New York but moved to Georgia. The second owner was in Illinois and owned the car until his recent passing. Here in Illinois, the car was never used in inclement weather and so the underside is clean and completely scale free. Every single feature and function works as it should; electric seats and heaters (the back has them too), windows, door locks, sun-roof, antenna, original Becker radio, A/C, heater, interior and exterior lights, horn (both high and low).... the complete list. The car has Euro spec headlights fitted because I deem the US spec ones as simply ugly. Body and paint is excellent. Very shiny and consistent with only the most minor chip here in there but nothing noticeable. It appears most of the car is original factory paint and hence shows all the correct factory "orange peel". All rubbers, window gaskets are excellent without the "hardness" and cracking seen on lesser examples. Lights, lenses, chrome-work is superb. The interior is equally stunning. She is in virtually as-new condition with no wear on the seats, carpets or headliner. The leather is like a 2-3 year old example, the dash like a new one (not a single crack) and the wood is without any unsightly lifting or noticeable damage. Have a close look at the buttons and switch gear; they are amazing - all so very clean and not showing typical wear. The rear parcel shelf shows no sign of fade and all the medical accoutrements are in place. She is also a non-smoker car so clean and sweet. Tyres are not new but have reasonable tread, fitted on chrome factory MB wheels. A set of Mercedes mud-flaps finish off the car nicely. These can easily be removed if they are "not you". As one would expect, the car comes with the original MB owners manual, books, jack and correct tools. Not much more can be said but to invite you to take a close look at the many, many photos of this great Mercedes 560SEL. Truly an immaculate example, I am sure you will agree. Surely amongst one of the better, if not best, examples available for sale today. A fantastic low-cost luxury driver. Truly an immaculate example, I am sure you will agree.

The marks on the bumper (down-low on right) are simply water marks - they are not scratches Click HERE to see some 200+ additional photos! **PLEASE read auction terms and conditions below BEFORE bidding.** ~~oo00oo~~ This Mercedes is part of a private collection. Although licensed and bonded, I am not a main-stream retail car dealer or broker; I am a professional car collector of some 30 years with considerable experience and knowledge of British cars. I have a long standing reputation being associated with the Rolls-Royce marque which I take seriously. I take pride in my cars and have fun in collecting and restoring them. However, auctions are not a game so when you place a bid or offer, and you are the winning bidder, please understand you have entered a binding contract. You cannot bid and win the auction and expect not to meet the terms and conditions. Bidding and/or winning does not mean you are expecting me to “hold” the car until you have the opportunity to inspect it. Any inspection contemplated should be undertaken BEFORE you bid or make an offer and I openly welcome any potential buyer to come and personally inspect the car. Once you bid or make an offer, you are doing so to buy WITHOUT conditions. Your bid can not be subject to anything. A $2000.00 deposit (non-refundable) is required within 24 hours of the close of the auction and payable by PayPal. The balance of funds are required within 7 days of the close of the auction and must be provided by cashier’s check or bank wire. I cannot accept PayPal for the balance unless you are willing to meet the cost of transfer fees. Full payment must be made (and payments cleared) before the title and/or the vehicle is released. All payments are non-refundable. Payments as described above form an important part of this purchase contract and so, if all the funds are not received as outlined above, I reserve the right to terminate the transaction without notice. If there has been any deposit or other part payments received and I elect to terminate the contract, I reserve the right to keep any such deposits or payments and resell the vehicle to another bidder or interested party or re-list the vehicle at any time. To be clear, if you change your mind for ANY reason and do not complete the transaction in the time-frame required, you will forfeit your deposit. I am happy to assist with shipping arrangements on a national and worldwide basis but the winning bidder takes full responsibility for pickup and/or shipping and at his cost. As a collector and experienced restorer of a range of classic cars, I make every effort to bring my cars to a high standard. By comparison, my cars are generally superior to others available but they are by no means perfect. You must expect some issues. Unless specifically stated, the car is not of show standard but of nice "driver" condition. Please understand, show cars cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to achieve and sell for prices commensurate, so the sale price of this car reflects its relative condition. You are buying "condition" accordingly. Buyers should not expect to receive concours quality or "perfect" cars at these prices. Please also understand it is not always possible to attend to every item, or perhaps I may have inadvertently overlooked items. Further, and very importantly, these cars are not new. So this means a 29 year old car is predominantly comprised of 29 year old parts. And old parts will fail. All buyers must understand and expect that things can or will wear out, break and/or stop functioning without notice. This is even more likely with hand-built English cars of early technology when compared to the typical American car of the same vintage. Suspension and brakes on these cars are complex. We thoroughly check them and replace things that are identified faulty. But please understand, by example; if we change a brake line because it appears aged or faulty, we do NOT at the same time replace all other hoses because they are of similar age. This is considered "preventative maintenance". We do not do this unless specifically requested and is not included in the purchase price. Feel free to ask for this additional service. Further, a feature or function that is working perfectly one moment, may decide to play-up the next. After all, it is some 29 years old. This is the nature of any used car and especially British cars. For this reason it is necessary for the following condition: The vehicle is being sold "as-is/where-is" with no warranty expressed, written or implied. Any descriptions or representations are made with reasonable judgment and all efforts are made to ensure fair assessment and accuracy but they are for descriptive and identification purposes only and are not to be construed as a warranty of any type. The seller shall not be responsible for errors in description, authenticity, genuineness, or defects herein and makes no warranty in connection therewith. If any aspect of the description contradicts what can be seen in the photos, then the photos shall prevail as the reference point. No allowance or set aside will be made on account of any incorrectness, unforeseen imperfection, defect or damage. It is the responsibility of the buyer to have satisfied himself as to the condition and value and to bid based upon that judgment solely. The seller shall and will make every reasonable effort to disclose any known defects at the buyer’s request prior to the close of the auction. Seller assumes no responsibility for any repairs regardless of any written or oral statements about the vehicle. Being a classic car in excess of 10 years of age, in most US states, the mileage may be recorded as “exempt”. In this regard the seller makes no warranties as to the accuracy of the mileage indicated or shown. I can hold the vehicle up to 30 days while you arrange shipping but you must immediately insure it. I will not bear any responsibility for any additional costs including storage, transportation, or repair after the close of the auction. Whereas I am happy to store the car in excess of 30 days from auction end, a cost of $35 per day shall apply beyond 30 days of auction end. Also, you must remember that this is a 29 year old vehicle, and while it is up to you, I do not recommend that you just “hop in and drive it across the country” until you have familiarised yourself with the car. At least, I have never done that. I have always professionally transported the cars in enclosed carriers from where I bought them to my home. PLEASE; IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO ABIDE BY THESE TERMS, CONTACT ME BEFORE YOU CONTEMPLATE DOING SO AS, RESPECTFULLY, THERE CAN BE NO EXCEPTIONS. I am sorry if these terms seem harsh but there seem to be some very unrealistic buyers out there - fortunately, only few of these people exist but those that do can make life difficult, so it appears EVERYTHING needs to spelled out. Very simply put, this is an old car being offered for sale. It is not new and is subject to the perils of age. Further, Jaguars are not without nuances, idiosyncrasies and they are renown for a host of design issues which can make them not inexpensive to maintain. So, please respect the terms and conditions when you bid.

OMG!!! This Mercedes was purchased brand new by Baseball Hall of Famer Willie Mays!! Willie owned this car for 8 years. This car is priceless to the right person. Just like Steve McQueen and Janis Joplins Porches the value of this car is multiplied because of the celebrity ownership. Wille had a 1952 topps baseball card that sold for $478,000. THIS WAS WILLIES CAR!! It was his main daily driver for 8 years. This car is in very good condition. This is an autobahn car that can run all day at 140 mph. I bought this car from 2 brothers that had bought the car from Willies handlers in Vallejo Ca. This car has always been in Northern Ca. I have owned this car for about 8 years. It has been garaged and covered for the last few years. It is on non op and there are no dmv fees. The interior of this car is showroom. Heated seats. Reclining rear seat. Sold as is where is with no warrantee. Do not bid if you are not going to buy. Deposit is not refundable.
