1987 Mercedes-Benz 500-Series SEL Description

1987 Mercedes Benz 420 SEL - this has been our family car for the last 28 years. It has been garaged and pampered, but is not perfect. High miles, but the engine has been rebuilt as well as the transmission. The car boasts a newer paint job and absoloutly NO RUST. The car also has chrome Mercedes wheels on Continental tires.

I am trying to downsize - have another Mercedes that is newer so don't need two.....only drove this car 250 miles last summer - don't drive in rain or winter (always garaged)This car has never let me down - never stranded me on side of road - plenty of power - and looks awesome.
Price reflects certainly not what I have put into the car - but the year and mileage which is excessive - it can be insured now as a classic which is a huge savings. The SEL model was the largest model for the year for the Mercedes - the back seat area is expansive (we have always called it our airport car) - plenty of room to stretch out. Trunk is fabulous and also very large.
