1985 Mercedes Benz 500SEC
Sold
This week Canyon State Classics brings to market a beautiful 1985 Mercedes-Benz 500 SEC Coupe.
This car is very special in several ways. It is a two owner car which has lived a very pampered life. This car is a very low production vehicle with only 5800 built worldwide in 1985. It also had a MSRP of over $60,000 when new and is fully loaded! This was THE big boy car to own in the 80's.
This car was imported from Europe in 1985 by original owner Jim Bradshaw of Omaha, NE. The car was driven in Nebraska until the early 90s when Jim retired to Arizona where it has lived ever since. This car was his pride and joy and always received the best care and service. Don't miss your chance to own the nicest SEC offered on eBay in a long time!

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 Jet Black and is in very good condition. The car has been completely inspected underneath from front to back and is solid as a rock as any well cared for garaged car should be. All chrome trim, glass, and rubber seals are in great shape. The car looks almost as nice as the day it rolled off the Mercedes lot. It just had a full detail done at a cost of over $500 so this car looks spectacular! The car is accented by a high dollar set of period correct Ronal chrome wheels. They are wrapped in like new BF Goodrich Performance Radials. Even the spare matches!
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 and look almost new, which shows the quality of leather used in this car. All wood grain is in excellent condition with absolutely no cracks. The carpets are all very nice are not worn or damaged. The car also has nice OE Mercedes floor 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 Blaupunkt CD sound system. Another nice addition is aftermarket alarm was added and works great! 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 matching spare tire and wheel. This car is all there and in excellent shape with all functions and accessories working as they should.
Mechanically, this SEC runs GREAT! I have owned nearly 20 80's and 90's era Mercedes vehicles, and this car blows the doors off all of them! The car starts right up and shifts smooth as silk. It drives as good now as the day it rolled of the lot. The V8
engine is very quick and responsive. It is reliable, easy to fix, and parts are readily available. The 5.0L V8 has been Mercedes workhorse engine for nearly 30
years, so you know it is just plain reliable. The suspension is very tight and feels solid even at autobahn speeds above 90mph, and is claimed to have a top speed of 140 MPH! The car was always regularly serviced every 4,000 miles and shows it in how flawless the car drives. The car is tight and right as any low mileage car should be with no current mechanical issues.
All in all, this is THE cleanest and nicest SEC that I have had the privilege of being associated with. 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. Any further questions please call Jon at
480-703-2337. The car is located in Sunny Scottsdale, Arizona.
