The businessman's express for 1988. When you drove up to a company party in a Signal Red Mercedes-Benz 560SEC, you had arrived. Those who could afford the $80k+ price tag knew what they were getting: not just prestige without pretension, but smooth power, reliability and most important unparalleled build quality. Some Mercedes experts believe the 126 chassis Mercedes to be one of the finest post-war Mercedes ever built, and one of the best automobiles ever manufactured...unsurpassed to this day. Sadly, most of us know contemporary Mercedes-Benz abandoned their "quality-first" business model, driving smart and market-aware buyers into snatching up these timeless future classics.

Your search for a beautiful, original and incredibly well-maintained 126 560SEC can end now. According to records is was purchased new in Texas then was traded in to Phil Smart Mercedes who then retailed it to its second owner in 1997 for $33,770. Reputable "Buyer's guide" books will recommend getting the very best example you can find for the money. Look for service records, impeccable original interiors, and previous owners who spared no expense in keeping their 560SEC in top condition. Anything less can get upside down in a hurry. Mercedes coupes of this caliber may cost more upfront, but will pay off in the end with excellent investment potential while providing reliable, worry-free service. As they say: there's nothing more expensive than a cheap Mercedes.
