It’s inspired a host of contenders from East to West, but none have been able to match up so far. This isn’t just true of the 2025 models; taking a trip down S-Class Memory Lane reveals a consistent streak of excellence. If ever you sought proof of that statement, here’s proof in the form of a 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SEL for sale right now. This Baltimore-based beauty has traveled over 51,000 miles and could be yours for the taking. Act fast, because a classic S-Class in great condition is basically an appreciating asset!
Exterior and Interior
The looks of this era of S-Class are the penmanship of the great Bruno Sacco, a legend in contemporary and classic Mercedes-Benz design circles. Hailing from the W126 era, this fine example flaunts itself in a silver suit, and rolls on the correct alloy wheels for the period. In fact, the entire car is a time capsule of what top-tier luxury motoring in 1988 looked like. Since its an SEL variant, its got a longer wheelbase for even more rear-seat space, and this shows in the car’s side profile. The interior of this 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SEL continues the time capsule look with a very period-correct Navy Blue theme, punctuated by some fine wood trim. You’ll find leather-upholstered seating for up to five adults here. The center console hosts the car’s climate control system as well as a period-correct Becker radio cassette player. Power windows, power mirrors, power front seats and even a power radio antenna are all standard amenities for this car, as is a sunroof. Then, you pop the trunk and see how spacious it is, reminding you once again why Mercedes-Benz is widely considered to make the best cars in the world.
Engine
Of course, with all this luxury on board, you need a stout engine to lug it around with grace. That’s precisely what this 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SEL offers, with a 5.6-liter V8 doing duty under the hood. The engine is reportedly rated at 238hp and 287lb-ft of torque for US market cars. It drives the rear wheels via a 4-speed 4G-TRONIC automatic gearbox.
