Get swept away in this museum-quality Mercedes-Benz 420 SEL. With only 1 previous owner and an original 31,756 miles, this time capsule is ready to hit the road with rock-solid reliability. Fans and aficionados of Mercedes-Benz will be in awe of the overall condition and quality that is the legendary W-126 Chassis. A modern classic that demands attention and turns heads no matter where it travels, especially in the rare Cabernet Red Metallic.
MODEL SPOTLIGHT
Dubbed by many as the "Last Classic Mercedes", and internally referred to as the W126, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class manufactured from 1979 - 1991 was produced and purchased in higher numbers than any other S-Class, before or since. The W-126 was a leader in luxury and safety at the time, introducing Driver & Passenger airbags, seat belt tensioners, and Traction Control. 1991 was the final and most fully realized W-126, benefitting from larger wheels & brakes, flush headlamps, and straight lower cladding. The 4.2-Liter V8 is considered to be bulletproof, easily surpassing 200K miles with no issues and regular maintenance. This prototypical German Luxury sedan was a favorite of world leaders and heads of industry. Their high build quality, durability, and factory support make them even more desirable cars today, with long-term values continuing to rise.

HISTORY
This 1-Owner 420 SEL was purchased new in October 1991 in Ohio. The original owner kept it for 29 years, driving only 32K and treating this Mercedes-Benz to regular service at the same Mercedes dealership since its purchase. We even spoke to the original service manager, who worked with this family and took care of this 420 SEL. He was able to confirm the meticulous care that the previous owners took when they brought in their vehicles. He was thrilled to see it in such wonderful condition still and confirmed that everything noted on the Carfax for service work was performed. What an amazing story!
CONDITION
This 420SEL is in superior, museum-quality condition. The interior is beyond impressive, showing practically no signs of wear. The wood trim, dashboard, headliner, carpets, and all leather surfaces are all in impeccable condition. The underbody and drivetrain of this car are simply amazing and retain the look and feel of a new automobile. Factory original body panels match the clean Carfax. The paint is factory original on all panels with the exception of cosmetic paintwork on the lower portion of the right doors. Paint quality is excellent and is further enhanced by our Ceramic Pro application. We encourage you to contact us for a comprehensive video detailing vehicle condition.
