West Coast Classics are proud to present an absolutely exceptional example of this 1989 Mercedes-Benz 420SEL 4 Door 4.2L/201HP V8 sedan in its highly desirable and striking original factory 'Smoke Silver Metallic' color (Code 702) paint with a gorgeous original 'Saffron' leather interior and with only 90K original miles with reportedly only 2 owners since new showing true pride of ownership!The car's factory options include: 4.2 liter V8 engine, automatic transmission with torque converter, sun...roof, drivers side supplemental restraint system, anti-theft alarm system with radio theft deterrent, power assisted steering, cruise control, tinted glass, electric window lifts, fully independent suspension, power assisted four wheel disc brakes, anti-lock braking system, limited slip differential, leather upholstery, adjustable bucket seats and head restraints, front center folding arm rest, leather covered steering wheel and gear selector, automatic antenna, air conditioning with automatic climate control and central locking.The flagship W126 S Class from Mercedes-Benz is legendary in the luxury car market having dominated sales during its 12 year production run which finally ended in 1991. In the late 1980's the W126 S Class received the highest customer ratings in the J.D. Power Sales Satisfaction Index and and it was also awarded the U.S. Highway Loss Data Institute's 'Safest Passenger Car of the Year' award with anti-lock brakes, crumple zones and dual airbags since 1989. It was not only one of the very safest and best cars available anywhere in the world, but also one of the most prestigious luxury sedans money could buy with countless dignitaries, international embassies and world leaders owning these models. Even today, many countries around the world still use these particular models to transport their heads of state.This particular example has obviously always been garaged with no signs of any accidents and it has a clean CARFAX report. The original factory 'Smoke SIlver Metallic' color paint is still almost as new and the car boasts an absolutely beautiful condition 'Saffron' leather interior with virtually no signs of any wear and the original leather dashboard and the walnut wood veneer interior are also still like new too (obviously always garaged from the sun and elements!) This car shows true pride of ownership as can only usually be found on such rare original long time and mature ownership examples.These cars boasted an original sales price of over $62K new in 1987 (over $126K in 2018 dollars according to the CPI when adjusted for inflation!) and this particular car drives exactly like such a well maintained and serviced Mercedes with only 90K original miles should and must be seen and driven to be truly appreciated! All the options are working as they should including the A/C.
