1989 Mercedes-Benz S-Class 560 SEC Additional Info:
Car is absolutely immaculate, impeccably maintained, and in superb condition overall. Make an offer.Needs a head gasket (leaks coolant externally, not internal) due to age. Head gasket replacement is bigger than my wallet and/or my DIY ability. I'm looking for an MB enthusiast interested in buying for a reasonable, negotiable price. It still starts, runs, drives, shifts as it should.
Sold new in California via the Mercedes-Benz European Delivery Program (I was told this was George Lucas's car but have no evidence of that). Spent 15 years in California. Moved to Oregon with its third owner, and then to Colorado in 2015.
Colorado emissions check and inspection was passed in 2015 and again in 2017 with no problems.
