1987 Mercedes-Benz S-Class 300 SDL Turbo review from North America
"Best kept secret in the used auto industry!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Power Window Regulator Failed: Drivers Side. Replaced $175.00.
Front End Upper and Lower Ball Joints. $400.00.
Front calipers and rotors. $450.00.
Brake Lines Replaced (normal wear)
General comments?
This car is the Cruiser you need in your stable. At $3000.00 U.S. this car was a steal! It is not the "Off The Line" Schumacher F1 Rocket, but at highway speeds it is the "Boss"
Great Auto for going to dinner with another couple.
Great road manners!

  | 1987 - S-Class 420 SEL 4.2 Liter V 8 I am in awe of it. I doubt that there are very many 1987 420 SEL's in better condition |
| 1986 - S-Class 560SEL 5.6L DOHC V8 Better than any new car under $35,000 |
