Mercedes-Benz : 500-Series 560SEL

This is likely one of the best w126 sedans in the country. I am the second owner. I bought it from
the original owner in West Palm Beach in Florida. It is a U. S spec car and will pass smog even in
California. I can help re-import it into the U. S if anyone is interested. Payment is by cash or electronic
wire transfer. Thanks.

Car has 70k miles. Very well documented service history. Only genuine Mercedes parts used.
Stacks of receipts available.

Midnight blue exterior with palomino interior.

Here is some of the recent service (within the last 5k miles).

- New HVAC blower motor and monovalve
- New tires (and rims were professionally refurbished)
- New brake discs and pads all round
- New sway bar links
- New SLS accumulators (nitrogen cells)
- New SLS high pressure lines and fluid flushed
- New steering tie rods (inner and outer on both sides)
- New rear windscreen imported from Germany (replaced due to de-lamination of defroster element)
- New engine mounts and shock absorber
- New timing chain. tensioner and guide rails
- New valve stem oil seals and guides (basically the top end was redone. head gasket up everything was rebuilt/renewed)
- New camshaft oiler tube clips
- New idle control valve
- New coolant hoses everywhere
- New vacuum lines and check valves
- New spark plug wires and cap
- New plenum gaskets (pretty much anything made of rubber in the engine bay has been replaced)
- New odometer gears
- New hood insulation
- New floor mats
- And obviously all fluids have been flushed (power steering. transmission. SLS. etc. )

I easily have about $20k all in and have receipts to prove it. The car was put in storage in Ottawa. br>Ontario. Canada a few month after the photos were taken. Its about an hour north from Ogdensburg. NY.
The car is ready for test drives.

It was not a daily driver or anything like that. It was just my toy. I know people in the U. S like to
say the "moisture" in Canada can cause a car to rust. so after much research I had it rust proofed
with Corrosion Free 3000 when I imported it. which is apparently what the military use for their
vehicles. So regardless. there is no rust. there never was and there never will be. For the folks
who like to ask whether its ready to be driven across the country. the answer is definitely YES!

The car has the following problems;

1. The driver's seat has a tear in it. Nothing wrong with the frame. backrest or springs.
Its easily repairable but good quality leather replacement covers are available from places like
GAHH so I would just replace it. All the other seats look completely unused.
2. The transmission oil pan gasket leaks a few drops a week. I've replaced the gasket about 3 times
now and it still drips. I can only assume that the pan is slightly warped. Genuine replacement is
like $100.
3. The cruise control stalk is loose and doesn't work properly. I have a replacement unit yet to
 be installed.

The car is stock. There are no "tasteful mods" (if you pardon the Euro lights. original NAM spec
 lights are included)

I'm an honest person and a Mercedes enthusiast (was part of MBCA and I've built more than a few
Mercedes engines). I'm just trying to sell my garage queen. I'll be happy to answer any questions
over email or we can exchange phone numbers. The car is also listed on autotrader and kijiji.

I've added 10 high res photos. If they don't show up. please email me and I'll send them to you.

FYI the speaker covers have since been replaced (seen broken in the photos).

There is service history since 0 miles. The original owner/previous owner made use of the Mercedes
maintenance book/diary. which has been stamped periodically by the original dealership.
