AI Listing Summary
This Japanese-market 1989 Mercedes-Benz 500SEL, with only 40k kilometers, presents in very good condition with recent mechanical servicing and desirable features like heated power seats and automatic climate control.

Condition

The car is in Very Good condition. It has been well-maintained with recent servicing in July 2025 and August 2026, including replacements of the water pump, ball joints, and brake fluid. However, there are minor cosmetic issues such as the power adjustment for the right mirror not working and the parking pole having been removed. The front bumper, left doors, and left quarter panel were refinished due to paint imperfections. A mileage inconsistency was noted on the Carfax report.
