Mercedes-Benz W126 cars for sale
The W126 was the best-selling S-Class generation: a formal, aerodynamically refined flagship sold for twelve years in standard and long wheelbases, with six-cylinder, V8, and diesel power. In the United States the big V8 SELs became the executive car of the decade. Production was vast, values were low for years, and the best low-mileage cars are now being collected in earnest.
42 cars are listed here; 40 for sale and 2 marked sold; asking prices from $1 to $59,995; located in California, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia and 14 more states.
Read the W126 buyer's guide for what to check before buying.

Condition: A 1988 Mercedes Benz 560SEL. Silver blue with a blue leather interior. 57,000 original miles as per Carfax. The body is good, the paint is fairly new and looks good. A very nice and solid undercarriage. The original interior is showing it some and has some cracks by the dash near the console, as you can see in the pictures, and on the front seats, the leather is dried out. Mechanically the car runs and drives, but it could benefit from mechanical service before you start driving it regularly. It runs very rich, fuel system needs to be revised. Comes with clean and clear title. An excellent original car, needing work. Any questions.
