Any idea what's wrong with it?October 30th, 2025 at 12:56pm EST$1,500 bid placed by @Everyclassic909October 30th, 2025 at 11:16am ESTFarmhandz (0) 0Where are the rear head rests?October 30th, 2025 at 11:14am EST$1,250 bid placed by @FarmhandzOctober 29th, 2025 at 9:14pm EST$1,000 bid placed by @jebarilOctober 29th, 2025 at 9:12am ESTrideair (6) 0Call this a "Know what you have W126". "If it can be purchased" at the right price, the new owner can completely sort the car and make a great daily driver knowing what they have in the end. I've done a car very similar in age/mileage and IMHO, will take about six months to a year since by driving the car every few days and lengths of trips, you will find other items that will need repair. I now drive my 91-560SEL daily with just over 103K on the OD, car runs/drives/handles as it did new, is a joy to own and requires nothing more than standard maint.October 28th, 2025 at 11:51pm ESTvahidberdjis (1) 0I thought all 560SELs had rear head rests... or am I mistaken?October 28th, 2025 at 9:02pm ESTStuttgart_Steel (492) 0If you look closely this is a very decent car. Correct the corner lenses, new shocks/springs, hood pad, and tires and you have a really nice facelift 560SEL. All of those items are not that expensive to do. I'm hoping an enthusiast who knows a thing or two sees the insane potential here. This is one of the BEST cars Mercedes ever built. The pictures are a bit of a miss, but the information is there. I like it.

It is what seta MBMarket apart from the 'other guys' and it really makes a difference. As always, well done! I can say as a w126 owner, that insight is spot on, and this seems like a very well loved example. Good luck with the auction!
