1990 Mercedes-Benz

420SEL



What We Like

Few cars offer the cachet of a Mercedes-Benz S-Class luxury sedan. This completely-stock, 80k-mile 420 SEL boasts single-family ownership for 27+ years. A clean Carfax report and extensive service records since 1996 highlight the car’s overall condition, with more than $1,800 spent since 2021 alone. The seller acquired the car from a late parent's estate in 2021 and has added less than 2,000 miles since. Contemporary luxury and safety features include driver and passenger airbags, anti-lock brakes, automatic climate control, leather interior trim, power seats and steering column, and much more. This beloved Mercedes-Benz is ready for the next owner to carry on its legacy for many years to come.
