PLEASE NOTE: FOR SALE IN WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS -- NO SHIPPING Time for me to transfer the pleasure and adventure of 560 ownership to the next sportsman. 1987,121,000 miles. As far as I can tell from the records I received when I bought the car, excluding the Florida dealer from whom I bought it, I am the third owner. (Most of it's life was spent in Florida.) Bought 4/2008 at 92,00 miles. All repair records of my ownership are available. We bought such and old car because my wife and I are made quite ill by off-gassing fumes produced by newer car interiors, so we acquired Fraulein Bessie, prepared to put some effort into keeping her going. Which we have. There are too many new or re-built parts put in since 2008 to list (can be seen in the repair records) but included are a completely re-built engine and transmission (May 2012 -- 102,000 miles). VERY powerful and fast. Torque is such that manually down-shifted to third when leaving the ramp and entering traffic moves this 5000-pound car into place with real assurance. We are selling because we have finally completed our move to a place where we really don't need a car. (I am aware that this is un-American.) (I drove it 5 days ago for the first time in three weeks, to get it washed for these pictures, and to buy gas.) Also, and importantly, I have grown tired of trouble-shooting repair problems and worrying about possible unreliability. Yes, it is a Mercedes from the end of their Golden Age, but it is also a 28-year-old car. That said, it drives beautifully. Two current problems are a slow-leaking power steering pump (re-build will cost approx. $300.00) and the final adjustments of an ignition problem that sometimes causes a slight hesitation/tugging in stop-and-go traffic. (The current power steering pump was put in 2008-09.) More minor still, right rear, some part of the suspension system "thumps" when you hit a sharp bump. Was going to get it fixed sometime soon; my mechanic says it is not a safety issue and won't cost a fortune to fix. To my surprice the noise has not been a source of annoyance.Winter 2013-14, and many trips on the Mass Pike to/from Boston, produced small areas of fender/bumper rust. Very minor. Undercarriage has heavy rust-proofing and is sound. Black paint good. Historically, a right side fender repair/replacement. In my time a scraped left rear door when a Boston jackass drifted through a stop sign at about 5mph. Well repaired. Car alarm disconnected. Tan interior in very good shape. Front seats show abrasions but no cracks that go through; back seats are excellent. (Only non-toxic cleaners and conditioners used throughout.) Floor, headliner, dash, door panels, etc. excl. All controls, lights, windows, power seats, etc. work. The 5-button ventillation controls will sometimes (rarely) go on or switch off but the corrective simply is to push the button gently again. A/C fine. Converted to new gas 2008 and was told then that the new stuff in an old-technoloy system won't cool as quickly as freon would, but cool it does. Heating is outstanding including front and rear seats. The floor-level vent to the back seating area does not work. Not smoked in by us. All five wheels were professionally refinished last fall. Original color. 3 new Michelin tires at the same time. All tires the same type; all excellent. Becker cassette radio; readout of some numbers incomplete. Otherwise works. Trunk very clean. I am not a car dealer so please no shoppers. Those reading this ad who know or know of this car are aware of what it is. This is a good example. If you wish a test drive (as you will) I am afriad I must request that you use no cologne/perfume or strong deodorant; it will make me sick and I won't be able to accommodate you. Also, all driving will have to be done within posted speed limits. It is not a hot rod and I am not a teenager. $6500.00. I have allotted $1000.00 for the 3 problems listed above. Hemmings website has two similar cars at $8900/8500. Mine is priced for a quick sale. Available to be seen in beautiful downtown Greenfield, MA.
