[W126 Coupe] newbie to sec model - need help!

[Divov]

It depends on what part of the world you are but basically here is the list of superficial differences I can think of:

  1.. the 500's have grooved lower door mouldings whilst the 560's are smooth.
  2.. the 560's have headlight wipers whilst 500's don't (not true in all markets)
  3.. the 560 has electrically operated rear blinds.
  4.. the 560 has ABS
  5.. then various interior improvements such as electrically adjustable seats in the 560
  6.. Boot Spoiler is an add-on extra.
  7.. The badge on the boot lid!!
Regards
Alec

  Help!  I am close to buying a very nice 500SEC, 1985.  I own an 88 560SL, but am not as familiar with SECs.  Here is my first question, and yes, I am sure I will have more.

  Everything I read and hear is that this car came with no options available.  All the pics I see look the asme - there is no rear spoiler;  yet the one I am looking at has a rear spoiler.  Is that an aftermarket add-on?  Does it mean the car is AMG?  (I assume not).

  Also, how does the look (not the mechanics/engine, etc.) of the 560SEC differ from the 500SEC?

  Need help from you experts.  Thanks very much.
