Equipment
5549/238hp, automatic, sunroof, executive package with footrests and reclining rear seats, rear window shade screen, aftermarket stereo. Leather upholstery.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
This 560 has the signs of a well-maintained vintage Benz from back when these cars had that famous bank-vault build quality. It shows understandable age and flaws for a car of this age, and the 113,318 miles don’t necessarily have to be a red flag if maintenance has been fastidious. On the other hand, there’s no indication that maintenance has been fastidious, and buying a high-mile Mercedes early in the day at a no reserve auction is a real roll of the dice.
Market commentary
This SEL sold for $16,800 on Bring a Trailer nearly three years ago. It had more documentation present and more questions answered there, and it's not a surprise that it brought more money. Provided there aren't any major mechanical surprises, this result is a serious deal.
