Very nice coupe and highly collectible because 1991 was the last year made for the 560SEC. The car was towed to my shop with a bad engine and about 115k on it. We found then a used engine from same year car with only 82k on it. The donor car was hit in the rear. A full tune up several gaskets and fluids were replaced. The previous owner was nowhere to be found. The car sat for about a year. and then i decided to finish it up and sell it Several certified letters was sent with no responce. Finally the DMW issued a new title to my name after almost 13 months of waiting. As i was replacing the brakes. (complete job. pads. rotors. calipers. hoses. everything came from Mercedes Benz of Cininnati) he came in to check the car out. Out of the blue. after 15 months!!!! His bill at that point was about 11k. I explained what was going on and he asked for a few days to get the money together. I said ok. A few days later he asked for the car to be inspected by the local mercedes dealer. Inspection was completed and passed with flying colors. Next thing i know is. he filled bankruptcy and i am included. After a few years fighting at court i won. The car was then my daily driver and i loved it. I replaced the headlights with the euro version. lowered a bit. and replace the wheels. and radio. The car looks and drives very nice. Its not perfect but with a little bit of love and about maybe $1500 you can make it look amazing. NO RESERVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO RESERVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The good!!! Original paint!!! Clean and clear title ( i reported the new engine miles to the DMW) All original contition.
