About this car
This 1988 560SEL is offered on eBay by messyden in Absecon, NJ. The asking price is $3,000. The car is finished in Silver over Burgundy, an automatic gearbox. The odometer shows 121,000 miles. The listing records a rebuilt title. The eBay title does not name the model; the car's VIN identifies it as a 560SEL. On a W126, check for rust around the rear window and in the battery tray, and test the vacuum-operated door locks and the climate controls.
What the photos show
- The car is filthy nose to tail with dirt baked onto every panel, so a full detail is the first, smallest money
- Close-ups show the Smoke Silver paint scratched everywhere, a repaint is the big money if you want it smart
- The trunk lid is bent and sits pried open with a broken gap, trunk and latch repair money is certain
- The hood ornament is missing, small money but it tells the car's story
- Burgundy leather seats look genuinely good with no tears, no retrim money needed — the best part of the car
- Console wood is crazed and cloudy, refinishing money if the interior is to match the leather
- The odometer shows 120,849 miles, reasonable miles for the year
- The gallery includes the seller's own sale flyers — one says $4,500, another says $3,000, and they note the catalytic converters are missing — so settle which price is real and price in an exhaust repair
- One flyer photo appears twice in the gallery, padding the photo count
- No engine bay or underside photo appears in the sampled photos, so I can't judge the engine bay or underside
Money: at $3,000 this is parts-or-project pricing and the photos agree — a pried trunk, missing converters and scratched paint cost real money, while the burgundy interior is what saves it from scrap value.
