This beautiful 500SEL is one of the cleanest examples to come across. New price tag was over $70,000 US dollar. This was was special ordered with additional upgrades. Cosmetically this car is near perfect, interior is as nice as it was when it was first delivered. Exterior is equally clean with a few minor blimishes (door ding, scratch). This car spent its entire life in the dry southwest of the United States. Meticulously garaged maintained with pride of ownership. The previous owner fell ill and the car sat for approximately 4 years. Mechanically the steering is extremelytight with a new car feel. The transmissionshiftsproperly. However, because the car sat for so many years, it could benefit greatly from a major tune up. The idle is a little rough and the fumes (perhaps bad gas) is strong. Last, the car seems to run hot. Therefore, a PPI is highly recommended prior to bidding. The car is located in San Diego, CA and is being sold “as is” “where is” International buyers welcome.
