This week Canyon State Classics brings to market one of the best documented and best kept 1991 Mercedes-Benz 560SEL Sedans on the Planet. This car is very special in several ways. It is a a low mileage car which has lived a very pampered life in the dry Palm Springs desert. 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 80's.

This car was bought brand new at Berberian European on November 20, 1990 by original owner Allen Gilliano of Indian Wells, CA who owned it up until recently when we bought it out of his estate. This car was his pride and joy and always received the best care and service and by his own admission never saw rain during his ownership. The car has a recent receipt for over $5000 worth of fuel system and other maintenance work on the car. Don't miss your chance to own the nicest SEL 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 Astral Silver and has a brilliant shine and not a ding to be found. The car has been completely inspected underneath from front to back and is solid as a rock and ALL ORIGINAL PAINT as any well cared for garaged lifelong car should be. All chrome trim, glass, and rubber seals are in great shape. Original windshield in chip free and has original stickers on it. The car looks 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 the original set of correct wheels which look great and wrapped in brand new Michelin radials.

The interior is in very nice original condition all around. Its life long garage storage is obvious at close examination of the crack and fade free interior. The dash and door panels are in very nice condition with zero cracks or damage to be noted anywhere. The Black 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. The carpets are all very nice are not worn or damaged. The car also has Custom 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 original Becker Grand Prix 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 spare tire and wheel. This car is all there and in excellent shape with all functions and accessories working as they should.

Mechanically, this SEL 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 5.6L V8 is excellent. It is reliable, easy to fix, and parts are readily available. The receipts show a lot of major work done at an Indy Mercedes Shop which total over $4800 just spent of fuel system including new fuel distributor, new injectors/ wiring, new intake hoses, new fuel pumps,new injector covers and a full tune up. Also oil pan gaskets were corrected. The suspension is very tight and feels solid even at autobahn speeds above 90mph. The car was always regularly serviced 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.
The car will include all original books, huge stack of receipts, original spare, jack, tools, all original keys, as well as the CUSTOM 560SEL floor mats!

All in all, this is THE cleanest and nicest SEL that I have had the privilege of being associated with, and is surely the NICEST 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.
