Kickdown's Take

by Moritz Niemann

This 560 SEL is the epitome of a state car and brings the luxury of the 90s to every garage. Its well-maintained condition is underlined by a Classic Data rating of 2+. The absolute highlight of this car is its extremely extensive equipment, including the rare electrically adjustable and heated rear seat. Added to this is the 560 SEL in timeless blue-black metallic – a W126 just as you would want it!

        Hallo jeep089, hier die Antwort vom Verkäufer: "ich habe den Wagen 2018 mit 95.000 km gekauft. Laufleistung war für mich plausibel. Wegstreckenzähler ist vor zwei Jahren bei 113.707 km stehen geblieben. Bisher nicht reparieren lassen. Seitdem vielleicht maximal 2000-3000 km gefahren. Ansonsten Garage. Rost nicht bekannt. Eine mögliche Nach- Lackierung so wurde mir berichtet, von einem Vorbesitzer. Rechnungen seit meinem Besitz alle vorhanden, vorher nicht. Gutachten 2+, entspricht dem Zustand, wenn er sauber und poliert ist. ;-)" Beste Grüße - Kickdown Team

        Technik: Die Baureihe 126 der Mercedes-Benz S-Klasse wurde über zwölf Jahre lang produziert, im Automobilbereich bei Großserienfahrzeugen ein ungewöhnlich langer Modellzyklus. Während dieser Produktionszeit wurde die Baureihe stets weiterentwickelt und verbessert. Daher spricht man bei Fahrzeugen, die bis August 1985 produziert wurden, von der ersten, und bei Fahrzeugen, die danach gebaut wurden, von der zweiten Serie, die im September 1985 auf der IAA in Frankfurt präsentiert wurde. Im Jahre 1985 erfuhr die Baureihe eine größere Modellpflegemaßnahme. Dabei wurde das Exterieur-Design behutsam modifiziert, neben geänderten Stoßfängern, Seitenbeplankungen und Leichtmetallrädern (oder Radzierkappen) gab es neu entwickelte Motoren. Ebenfalls im September endeten jeweils die sogenannten Modelljahre. So zählen Modelle, die bis September produziert wurden zum damals aktuellen, die nach September produzierten zum darauf folgenden Modelljahr. Bis auf eine geringe Anzahl von Fahrzeugen aus Südafrika wurden alle W 126 in Sindelfingen gefertigt. LG Tom
