Offered for sale is this incredible S-Class from Mercedes-Benz, 1988 300SE (W126) in Tuxedo Black with Saddle leather interior. This has been my personal car for the last 8 months or so, nd was the result of a long quest to find the most perfect 300SE I could find. I am the sales manager at an import car store (Autohaus of Naples), nd am extremely discriminating with the few cars I own personally. Unfortunately, he garage I was keeping it in is no longer available to me, nd letting it be stored outside is not an option - better to move it on to a good home. It is being offered with a low opening bid and no reserve - as I said, t has to go.
I purchased this from the original owner, nd it still has an open title - free and clear, nd in hand. It was sold new in Chicago, arage kept, nd stored in winters until 2003 when it was shipped to Naples, L to be used as a winter car (also garaged). It has never seen a salty road, nd has no rust on the body or underneath.
The exterior is all original paint in exceptional condition. It has a few minor flaws here and there, ut overall shows better than many cars that are just 2 or three years old - all in all, he finest original paint I have seen on a 1980s era Mercedes. Inside, he leather is in excellent condition, nd the dash has no cracks. The wood is nearly perfect, nd the very low miles are evident throughout - no wear on the knobs, witches, talks, eat controls, r pedals. The original Becker radio is till in place, nd everything is working exactly as it should.
Mechanically, hese inline six models are inherently dependable, nd moreso when they've been maintained as well as this one has. The original owners serviced it frequently and faithfully, nd I had little to do after buying it - I did put in a new timing chain cover gasket to stop a little seepage, nd installed new motor mounts and transmission mounts, eplacing ones that weren't particularly bad. The brakes are in great shape, nd the Michelin tires, hough a bit dated, ave good tread on them.
The car comes with all original books and manuals, wo keys, nd a clear Florida title. Please watch the video I made to get a better feel for this car's condition, nd feel confident that you are bidding on the finest W126 that a person who knows what he is doing was able to find. This car is special. If you'd like to talk about the car, all Bill at 239-273-1150.
