On the same subject and for the same reasons, I have also just sold my
'88 560 SEC with 175k miles, which I have had for 10 years in the UK.
It has taken a while to find a buyer, but I'm pleased to say that
someone very enthusiastic recently saw the ads and now cannot wait to
pick it up.

Price-wise I have only managed to get GBP 2,000 sterling or USD 2,900,
which is around half what I originally wanted and criminal compared to
what has been spent on it over the years ! But overall I am happy that
it is going to a good home. This is the car:

I would also like to thank the group for all the assistance over the
years !! I have given as much as I can back, but there are a few of
you who contribute a huge amount of help and information. May your
future be rust-free.

Best Regards,
Mike Taylor
London, UK.

Hi Lance,

sorry to hear that you are sad about getting rid of your car, I am
going through the same thing for different reasons. I just do want
to use my limited time to continue to work on them as something is
always needing care on old cars. I plan to join the rest of the
American public and get fairly new cars and just let a good mechanic
handle the problems (if I can continue to find one).

Can you tell me how much you sold the car for and by what method? I
have an 86 SEC 560 AMG with 67K and an 83 380SEC Euro with 260K and
fairly new everything. I hope to sell them in the when I expect the
price to be better. That also gives me time to get them ready for
sale. They are real ladies and need the best presentation. I know I
could use Ebay or the MB magazine, but would like your personal
experience.

Warmest Regards,

Cal Young
