hello I am looking at buying a very nice 1990 560sel with about 200k miles on her. What kind of things do i need to lok for on this model with this many miles. Any info is most welcome.

 

Well i am looking to sell mine but, just make sure all the electronics are functioning as they should and especially the rear hydralic suspension can be very costly if not maintained. And if you have any problems with it we will be more than willing to help u figure out any problem.


I dont know how close you are to Maryland but mine only has 146k on it. U can see it under the classifileds or e-mail me at mbz300sdl@yahoo.com. Alot of people here have them so u should get alot more responses than me. The 560SEL is a great car and if i was able to keep mine and still buy an AMG i would.

 

I am also a proud owner of a 560SEL. In addition to the las t post, try to look over the sevice records if available. An improperly maintained 560 can become a money pit even if it has shiny paint and polished interior. And with 200K there should have been numerous parts replaced by this time and or adjusted. It wouldn't hurt to get a pro mechanic to have a look over the car either before you buy. There's nothing more frustating than finally getting a nice Mercedes to only have it break down on the way home due to a bad water pump or cracked radiator,or you blow a head gasket, or the transmission has no oil in it amd any other things that can be prevented by checking over everything top to bottom, side to side, inside and out, front to back, or diagonally.

 

How much is the asking price ? 560 SEL models are the best and the only perfected car made by benz with no inherent trouble.
