Up for your consideration is a 1992 Mercedes Benz 500SEL with only 84,000 original miles! I've been a big fan of these big body Benz's since I was young and wanted to restore one and make it into a VIP show car. I started off in that direction, but life happened.... and its forcing me to sell this car for only a fraction of what I have invested. Most of the hard work is done. All of the historically problematic areas of the car have been addressed and fixed. This car can easily be driven from coast to coast with ZERO problems.

Below are just some of the major upgrades preformed on the car. ALL PARTS ARE NEW GENUINE MERCEDES BENZ:

- Entire cooling system replaced (to include radiator and all hoses)
- Entire fuel system replaced (pumps and filters)
- Climate control system replaced
- Both vacuum supply pumps replaced (all doors / locks close automatically to include rear guide markers)
- Control arms
- Suspension Bushings
- Suspension accumulators replaced
- Drive belts replaced
- Upper/lower arm bushings replaced
- Window motor & regulators replaced
- Door strikers replaced
- Brakes replaced (sensors, pads and discs)
- Wiper arms / wiper blades (both windshield and headlight)
- Complete tune up preformed (to include oil, plugs and filter)
- Cabin charcoal air filter replaced
- New floor mats
- Center console wood grain replaced (Shipped directly from MB Germany)
- Seat belt connectors replaced


The above list comprises just some of the major work preformed on the car during the restoration process. Honestly I have over 12k invested into the car.... NOT INCLUDING what I originally paid for it..... Some lucky bidder truly will get a great deal.

I have all receipts and records of ALL work preformed on this vehicle!!!!

ALL OPTIONS WORK ON THE CAR: MIRRORS, AUTO REAR VIEW MIRROR, REAR GUIDE MARKERS, DOOR AUTO CLOSE...ETC

Tires have about 60% tread left

Interior is in near mint condition. No rips or tears in the leather.

Again, being honest I want to go over a few other issues....
The car will need a battery soon.
A/C blows cold, but needs to be recharged.
The passenger rear shock will need to be replaced. I wasn't planning on doing so, because I was going to put a full air ride kit on the car.

The previous owner had put a single stage paint job on the car. Its looks decent as it sits, but needs to be wet-sanded and buffed out. My intentions were to repaint the whole car professionally, but I'm really particular about my things.

AGAIN, THIS CAR IS IN TIP TOP MECHANICAL SHAPE. DRIVE THIS CAR ANYWHERE.

Check out my other auctions for a custom body kit that was hand made for this car....

Due to the year of the vehicle, no warranties are expressed or implied.
