About this car
Hemmings listing in Beverly Hills, CA — a 1988 560SEL offered through Hemmings classifieds. The harvest captured no condition description for this car, so judge it from the full photo gallery on its Hemmings page and verify specification, condition, and history with the seller before travelling.
What the photos show
- Black paint is glossy and straight on the main panels, so no respray bill shows at a glance
- Roof and sunroof panel are covered in scratches and swirl marks up close, so budget for serious paint correction or a roof repaint
- Black leather seats look excellent front and rear with no tears, so no retrim is needed
- Dashboard is intact with good wood but dusty and flat-looking, so budget for a deep clean rather than repairs
- Rust is bubbling along the trunk gutter and rear window channel, so budget for cutting that out before it reaches the trunk floor
- Engine bay is complete, but the radiator support and headlamp buckets are corroded and peeling, so budget for front-end metal treatment
- No underside photos appear in the sampled photos, so can't judge the underside
- The gallery's last photo is an exact repeat of its first photo, so the 42-photo count overstates the evidence by padding
Money: at $9,850 the strong leather and gloss carry it, but the scratched roof, trunk-gutter rust and corroded core support are real repair money on top
