Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1988 Mercedes 420 SEC Auto, with 141,000 miles and a full M-B service history, presents a mix of positives and negatives. While it boasts 3 owners from new, a comprehensive service record, and a long MOT, the replaced rear window metal and brown velour interior might affect its appeal and required reconditioning.

Condition
6
The car has had some metal replacement, which indicates body work. It has 2 new front tires, which suggests that the other tires may need replacing. The interior is velour, which may or may not be desirable to buyers. There is some wear and tear, but overall it's in decent shape.
