1991 Mercedes-Benz 420SEL
California Car · No Rust · All Original · Hood Repaint Only · New Pirelli Tires · A/C Serviced · Smog,
Brake & VIN Verified
This 1991 Mercedes-Benz 420SEL was sold new in California and has remained in the state its entire life. Finished in its
original factory paint with only the hood refinished after light front cosmetic damage, the car shows just 31,000 actual
miles. Power is provided by a 4.2-liter V8 paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. Equipment includes gray
leather upholstery, burl-walnut wood trim, automatic climate control, a power sunroof, cruise control, and 15-inch alloy
wheels wearing four brand-new Pirelli tires.

Recent Service
• Brand new Pirelli tires (all four installed 2025)
• A/C system recharged – blows ice cold
• Fresh oil and filter service completed
• Mechanically sound and road-tested with no leaks or drivability issues
Condition
This 420SEL remains in pristine, all-original condition with straight body lines, deep factory shine, and clean chrome.
The interior is equally well-preserved, featuring supple leather, intact wood trim, and tight headliner and carpeting. All
electronics, climate control, and lighting systems operate properly. The underbody and frame are completely rust-free,
consistent with its dry California history and low mileage.
Documentation
• CARFAX report verifying mileage, ownership, and salvage declaration (cosmetic only)
• Lemon Squad inspection (08/05/2025) confirming VIN, mileage, and condition
• California smog, brake & light safety certificates, and VIN verification completed (2025)
• Original books, toolkit, and manuals included
Summary
A collector-grade W126 with just 31k verified miles, all original paint except the hood, and a lifetime in California. With
no rust, pristine cosmetics, brand-new Pirelli tires, and full DMV inspections completed, this 420SEL is among the
cleanest and most honest examples available — a true survivor ready for its next caretaker. https://lemonsquad.com/customer/view-report/786090?client_token=8430a293176a86aae2ea9289314379d5&auth_token=60e4c47da1ef8b69ab76d1a1fc3d3d61
