I never thought that I would sell my beloved Mercedes "Borris", however, the time has come to find him a new home with a new family who will love him. Borris is a 1989 Mercedes Benz 560SEL, with no major issues. He grew up on the west coast, and spent most of his life in a garage in the state of Oregon. Borris has been taken care of very diligently and has had tons of work done recently. The vehicle also has an almost complete service history with tons of receipts and stamps done from Mercedes Dealerships. I have so much info about this car I don't even know where to start! If you'd like to chat about the car and learn more, please shoot me a message and I will answer any questions. I have never sold a car on Ebay, so please be patient with me, I am learning.

In the late-80s, the heaviest of heavy-hitters was the Mercedes-Benz S-class, with the dramatic 560 SEL long-wheelbase sedan at the very top of the hierarchy. Luxury machines like this very attractive black on black 1989 example could hammer the Autobahn all day at triple-digit speeds, coddling their occupants like no other car in the world. For a car that cost the equivalent of more than $100,000 when it was new, this is a great way to get incredible luxury at an incredible discount. Few cars have a more commanding road presence than an S-class Mercedes, and youll have no trouble cruising through traffic with this handsome sedan. Original paint, and it goes to show you what the best paint in the world can deliver, because it still looks great. Of course, some of that is probably thanks to enthusiastic owners. In typical German fashion, the design is restrained and the clean lines minimize the cars size, but theres no denying that this is a lot of sheetmetal hammering down the road. A few bits of chrome, like the surround for the window opening emphasizes the cars best attributes, and theres just no mistaking the big 3-pointed star up front that moves lesser traffic out of the way like a snow plow. Yes, its 26 years old and there are a few wrinkles here and there, but even a middle-aged Muhammad Ali was still formidable. Inside, the S-class got every luxury and convenience item Mercedes engineers could imagine in 1989. Power tan leather buckets are firm and supportive and in shockingly good condition considering the age and mileage on this heavy cruiser. Gorgeous door panels feature different materials and shapes that helped Mercedes break out of its cold, impersonal interior look, and the burled walnut on the center console warms it up inside nicely. Big, clear instruments are similar to those Mercedes always offered, and theres a massive stereo system. Heated seats, automatic climate control, power windows, and a giant trunk are all included, making this a first-class luxury liner. The 5.6 liter V8 under the hood is one of Mercedes most reliable units, capable of running for hundreds of thousands of miles with little more than basic maintenance. Torquey and smooth, it moves the big sedan with the effortless ease of an electric motor, and the relentless push of torque makes it feel like it could accelerate forever. Beautifully maintained, the engine bay is spotless, from the big aluminum air cleaner lid to all the hoses and wires that comprise what was, at the time, the worlds most technically advanced automobile. Obviously, someone loved this one and the maintenance means that its still bulletproof reliable today. Its the same deal underneath, where theres a 4-speed automatic with syrupy smooth shifts and a fully independent suspension that soaks up bumps like a hovercraft. I've owned this car for almost two years now and adore it! It's durab;e, reliable, and surprisingly affordable to keep running compared to other cars I've owned. This car was my dream car as a child, and I hope that I can make yours come true too. Please Buy my Mercedes and give it a good life.
