Gorgeous 2 Owner. Fully Serviced. Arizona Mercedes!

      This week Canyon State Classics brings to market one of the best documented 1985 Mercedes-Benz 500 SEC Coupes on the Planet. This car is very special in several ways. It is a two owner car which has lived a very pampered life. This car is a very low production vehicle with only 5800 built worldwide in 1985. It also had a MSRP of over $60. 00 when new and is fully loaded! This was THE big boy car to own in the 80's.

      As Per Ebay regulations. this car has a European 17 digit VIN. which their system does not recognize. It is as follows: WDB1260441A173203 and has been fully federalized. can be registered in all 50-states. and has a clean re-assignable Arizona title. This car was imported from Europe BRAND NEW in 1985 by original owner Mr. Richard Biederbeck of Phoenix. AZ. The car was imported by European Autohaus. who specialized in importing European Mercedes models here in Phoenix in the Mid 80s. This 500SEC was put through all US DOT regulations and rules and was officially sold on 10-14-1985 at which time the original owner even bought a service contract for the car! This car was his pride and joy and always received the best care and service. He sold the car to a close personal friend in 2001 who continued to show the love and care to this special car. Don't miss your chance to own the nicest SEC offered on eBay in a long time!

The following is a list of options as this 500 SEC is currently equipped:

-5. 0L 245hp V8 Engine

-4 Speed Automatic Transmission

-Ice Cold A/C

-Posi-Traction Rear End

-Cruise Control

-Power Windows

-Power Door Locks

-Power Antenna

-Fog Lamps

-Automatic Climate Control

-Original Leather Interior

-Power Sunroof

-Power Seat Belt Arms

-Upgraded Kenwood Premium CD

      The body on the car is in very good condition and was extremely well maintained. The paint on the car is finished in its original color of Anthracite Gray and is in very good condition and has had one high quality repaint in its life. The car has been completely inspected underneath from front to back and is solid as a rock as any well cared for garaged car should be. All chrome trim. glass. and rubber seals are in great shape. The car looks as nice as the day it rolled off the Mercedes lot. It just had a full detail done at a cost of over $500 so this car looks spectacular! The car is accented by a high dollar set of period correct AMG chrome wheels. They are wrapped in like new Michelin Performance Radials.

      The interior is in very nice original condition all around. The dash and door panels are in very nice condition with zero cracks or damage to be noted anywhere. The gray leather seats are all in very good condition and look almost new. which shows the quality of leather used in this car. All wood grain is in excellent condition with absolutely no cracks. The carpets are all very nice are not worn or damaged. The car also has nice coco-mat floor mats. All dials and controls function as they should. power windows and antenna also are fully functional. The sound system is also very nice with the upgraded Kenwood CD sound system. All lights. gauges switches. and accessories work as they should. The trunk compartment is very clean and does have the original jack. tools. and the ORIGINAL spare tire and wheel. This car is all there and in excellent shape with all functions and accessories working as they should.

      Mechanically. this SEC runs GREAT! I have owned nearly 20 80's and 90's era Mercedes vehicles. and this car blows the doors off all of them! The car starts right up and shifts smooth as silk. It drives as good now as the day it rolled of the lot. The V8 engine is very quick and responsive. It is reliable. easy to fix. and parts are readily available. The 5. 0L V8 has been Mercedes workhorse engine for nearly 30 years. so you know it is just plain reliable. The suspension is very tight and feels solid even at autobahn speeds above 90mph. and is claimed to have a top speed of 140 MPH! The car was always regularly serviced every 4. 00 miles and shows it in how flawless the car drives. The car is tight and right as any low mileage car should be with no current mechanical issues. This car is 100% fully documented with EVERY service receipt going back to 1985! I totaled up all the service receipts and over $30. 00 has been spent maintaining this car over the last 30 years! The most recent owner just spent over $5000 doing a new timing chain. all new vac elements and wood panels in the dash. a 90k maintenance. new radiator. new power steering pump. all new shocks. and new brakes. and all new injectors! This is just the icing on the cake and pretty much every system on this car has been overhauled once other than an engine rebuild.

      The car will include all original books. huge stack of receipts. custom car cover. original spare. jack. tools. euro-only warning triangle. as well as a trunk load of original Mercedes extra parts including hard to find euro spare parts.

      All in all. this is THE cleanest and nicest SEC that I have had the privilege of being associated with. It has been professionally maintained and truly loved by its previous owners. This Mercedes is a fantastic car for the price and includes every option offered in this car. Any further questions please call Jon at 480-703-2337. The car is located in Sunny Scottsdale. Arizona.
