1988 Mercedes Benz 300SEL

43,459 Actual Miles

One owner

Anthracite Grey Metallic (Code 178)

Palomino Leather (Code 274)

Absolutely stunning color combination.

Vehicle was owned by Mercedes Benz enthusiast and was garage kept all all times while not use.

The 300 SEL came with the spirited inline 6 cylinder bullet proof motor.

This is the engine Mercedes Benz got right !!!

More than ample power with better fuel economy.

This vehicle also comes with a standard suspension system (unlike 560sel) which is non-problematic and less expensive to maintain.

Mechanically the vehicle runs and drives tight like a well maintain Mercedes Benz should.

All power options function 100% and AC blows strong and ice cold.

All original with exception of a very high quality Kenwood stereo head unit.

The original Becker 780 head unit comes with the car as well as the original Becker cassette.

The original owner was a well educated engineer who maintained the vehicle with documentation of all services and fluid changes he provided.

Original anthracite metallic paint still has a showroom shine and bright work is clear and bright all around.

Original 15" Mercedes Benz wheels are in near flawless condition, and wear matching Michelin tires all around.

Palomino leather interior shows beautifully and leather is soft and supple.

Zebrano wood inlays are clear and bright with a mirror-like shine.

Dash is flawless and carpeting is stain free.

The vehicle is in outstanding condition overall and I would rate this car:

Exterior: 9.5 out of 10

Interior 9.5 out of 10

Engine Bay 9.0 out of 10

Undercarriage 9.0 out of 10 (best I ever seen)


You will be hard pressed to find a nicer w126 sedan in this all original un-restored condition.

All original books, manuals, red dot keys, first aid kit, unused spare tire, OEM tools, and original floor mats are present.

The vehicle also has the original window sticker, and  bill of sale from  Euro Motorcars of Bethesda Maryland.

Located in Central, NJ 07753
