1987 Mercedes Benz 420SEL

1987 Mercedes 420SEL Sedan, 4.2L V8, Fully Optioned, 3 Owner California Car, Fully Serviced!

This week Canyon State Classics brings to market this beautiful 1987 Mercedes-Benz 420SEL Sedan. This car is very special in several ways. It is a three owner car which has lived a very pampered life. It has lived its entire life in dry Southern California and has always been dealer serviced. It also had a MSRP of over $65,000 when new and is fully loaded! This was THE big boy car to own in the late 80's!
      This car was delivered brand new at El Cajon Mercedes in San Diego, CA in May of 1987 to its original owners Mr Mawtell. The car remained in the San Diego area with all of its services being performed at Mercedes of San Diego up until 2003 when it had about 150,000 miles. The most recent owner was in Palm Springs, CA and took extensive care of the car and always garaged it. This car may have miles, but has always been well maintained and is a ton of car for such a low price!

      The body on the car is in very good condition and was extremely well maintained. The paint on the car is finished in its original color of Light Ivory and is in very good condition with one high quality repaint. The car has been completely inspected underneath from front to back and is solid as a rock with no rust as any well cared for, garaged car should be. The car is also accident free, and has a clean Carfax. The car looks almost as nice as the day it rolled off the Mercedes lot.
It just had a full detail done so this car looks spectacular!
   The interior is in very nice original condition all around. The dash and door panels are in very nice condition with zero cracks or damage to be noted anywhere. The palomino leather seats are all in very good condition for their age, and show the quality of leather used in this car. The carpets are all very nice are not worn or damaged. The car also includes the original set of genuine Mercedes mats. All dials and controls function as they should; power windows and antenna also are fully functional. The sound system is also very nice with the upgraded Sony CD sound system. All lights, gauges switches, and accessories work as they should. The trunk compartment is very clean and does have the original jack, tools, and the original spare tire and wheel. This car is all there and in excellent shape with all functions and accessories working as they should.
   Mechanically, this S-Class runs GREAT! I have owned nearly 20 80's and 90's era Mercedes vehicles, and this car really is a great example of how long these cars run if maintained! The car starts right up and shifts smooth as silk. It drives as good now as the day it rolled of the lot.
These cars are known to be expensive to maintain, but this car has excellent service history, so you know it has been well cared for. The 4.2L V8 has been Mercedes flagship engine for over 20 years, so you know it is just plain reliable. The suspension is very tight and feels solid even at autobahn speeds above 90mph! The car was always regularly serviced every 4,000 miles and shows it in how flawless the car drives.
   All in all, this is THE cleanest and nicest 420SEL with these miles in the country. It has been professionally maintained and truly loved by its previous owners. This Mercedes is a fantastic car for the price and includes every option offered in this car.
The car has a super clean Autocheck report, as well as Carfax. It also has a clean Arizona title, confirming Actual Mileage. Any further questions please call Jon at 480-703-2337. The car is located in Sunny Scottsdale, Arizona.
