AI Listing Summary
This 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SEL is a single-owner example with 135k miles, presented in Arctic White with Palomino leather interior. It features a desirable specification including the self-leveling hydraulic rear suspension and is offered with a clean Carfax report.
While mechanically sound and cosmetically appealing, it does have minor modifications like aftermarket window tint and a Sony stereo, and some wear consistent with its age, suggesting it's a solid driver-quality classic rather than a concours showpiece.
