Description
Description
For sale is an exceptionally well-maintained 1990 Mercedes-Benz 500 SEL from the W126 series, one of the last and most technically advanced models of this legendary S-Class.
According to the appraiser, the vehicle is in 2+ condition, placing it firmly in the high-end collector’s segment. Combined with the very low mileage of just 100,700 km, this results in a vehicle that is rarely found on the market in this condition.
