1 Documented owner from new, imported in early 1984 by the only female owner. We purchased the car directly from her (second owner), her family owns and operates a large independent European service center on Long Island. This car was as she described it, her baby. Always cared for and garaged, with only 121k miles, making it only 3,580 miles a year!There are not many cars cooler than a full sled SEL AMG by Mercedes. The 80s had it right!
This is 100% Authentic and Genuine AMG here. All body kit pieces are stamped, Wheels are branded. All books and manuals present. THE NEVER USED, NEW SPARE TIRE AND WHEEL NEVER MOUNTED IN TRUNK, TOOL KIT AND FIRST AID KIT STILL WITH THE CAR!
POSSIBLY THE LOWEST PRICED, MOST WELL SORTED 500SEL AMG ON THE MARKET TODAY! DO NOT MISS OUT!
Hydraulic Suspension is perfectly functional and gives a wonderful ride with option of selecting higher or lower road clearance from lever on the dash. Read below for more.
Leather is excellent throughout, door panels and all seats without any cuts, gashes, scrapes or scratches. No tears or rips anywhere. Wear to drivers seat bolster is minimal and still soft. Wood is bright and nice, small discoloring area around gear selector which can be repaired, veneer is still in place and not cracking. Small crack on glovebox door wood trim, replacement when the TV was removed. No Cracks on dash leather or on vents. Headliner is perfect and clean.
Heat works great, as been used recently here in New York. Both defrost windows and all vents functioning and clear. Air Conditioning works properly and blows cold as well.
This car she said came equipped with a TV in the glovebox, which she removed but the wiring is still intact, as well as every option available from Mercedes.The Escort Radar Detector/Jammer is fully functional, turns on, beeps and buzzes, Orange "Alert" Light comes on with a Lateral meter giving its signal strength. The cool factor when you have this on driving, is just up there!
