1990 Mercedes 420 SEL

Big Beautiful Benz

I am selling my treasured 420 SEL.This is practically a two owner car (technically a third person had it between myself and the original owners).That photo of the odometer is no lie this nearly 30 year old car only has 107,000 original miles but it gets better.The engine had a head job (nearly completely rebuilt except for the block) about a year ago after an unfortunate timing chain problem.Also, the transmission was rebuilt at roughly the same time and is now in excellent working order. So, the drive train only really has 5 thousand miles on it.You will not find a finer running Mercedes outside of a showroom.This model has (I think) every available option including the extremely-rare-in-a-420 reclining rear seat!

Known Problems:

1.Passenger side Front window will need a regulator at some point.I've owned the car for two years and it hasn't gotten worse, the window functions, but at some point...

2.The powered headrests do not go up or down.You can tell the motor is trying but no movement.

3.Unsure about the headlight wipers.Never needed them, never was in front of the car at night in the rain....

Everything else on the car works exactly as it should.Cruise control, AC, sunroof, powered seats, heated seats, antenna, powered reclining rear seat ... all function.

All work was done by the best Mercedes mechanic in Greenville at Star Auto, feel free to call and ask about Jamie's Silver 420 and he'll be happy to tell you about the car.His name is Alex.The transmission rebuild was done by a South African gentleman here in town at a very reputable transmission shop, this gentleman used to build the very same transmission brand new for Mercedes when the cars were initially in production.

The exterior of the car is BEAUTIFUL and the wheels were just redone to match the quality of the rest of the car.There are only two dents.One under the drivers-side headlight, the other on the sunroof.Both are small and really are never noticed.

This is not a showroom restored car.It is original, it is immaculate for it's age and you will not find a finer example of this famous car for anywhere near this money.(The stains in the rear interior are on the floormats only, I have no idea what they are from and they came with the car, new mats and then you're good).

This is a Southern Car, originally sold in Mathews NC, where it lived it's life, then sold to me in Greenville SC.I doubt its even seen more than a few days of snow and certainly no salt.
