Vehicle History

Built from 1981 to 1991, the Mercedes-Benz C126 model series was one of the most luxurious coupés of its time. This particular 560 SEC is a unique piece of history, being one of the last examples of its model series. It was first registered in 1991 and has a fascinating journey from Hawaii to Germany. The original invoice shows that the Mercedes 560 SEC cost 77,805 US dollars. The well-maintained example was driven by a lady in Honolulu, Hawaii, from 1991 to 2021 until she sold it for reasons of age. The new owner had all the necessary repairs and maintenance work carried out and drove the car himself daily in Hawaii before transferring it to Germany in the fall of 2022. The vehicle was converted to German standards in Germany and received TÜV certification (until 05/25) and a classic car certificate. The owner then drove the vehicle in Germany during the summer months. With a total of two owners, the car has covered approx. 93,000 miles (approx. 150,000 km) to date and has never seen snow or salt. The 560 SEC comes with numerous documents dating back to its first registration. 

Exterior & Interior

The Mercedes 560 SEC was ordered by the first owner in the timeless color combination of midnight blue (904U) and grey leather (268). According to the seller, the vehicle is in a very well-kept and age-appropriate condition. The Mercedes has no rust, a flaking clear coat, or a cracked dashboard. The leather is also in excellent condition with a light patina. In addition, the seller has ensured that all equipment elements and displays work perfectly. Even the original radio is still present. The vehicle is unusually well-equipped for its time. This includes airbags for the front passengers, automatic air conditioning, electrically adjustable and heated orthopedic front seats, electric sunroof, electric rear sunblind, and heat-insulating glazing. 

Technical Condition

The first owner had the vehicle regularly serviced and all necessary repairs carried out. Only in the last few years of her ownership did she not move the car or have it serviced. However, the new owner did this immediately after the purchase and overhauled the vehicle. The vehicle is accompanied by a wealth of documents and receipts, from the original invoice to the owner's manual and maintenance records. This extensive documentation provides a comprehensive history of the vehicle's care and maintenance, ensuring you can purchase with confidence. As mentioned, the car was converted to German standards (headlights and bumpers). The vehicle has TÜV until 05/2025 and an H-approval certificate. According to the seller, no known outstanding work, defects, or even accident damage exists. The vehicle is in immaculate collector's condition - get in and enjoy the ride.

FAQ

To bid, you must register as a bidder. The registration process on HeartBids also includes registering with our free escrow. To protect our users and to comply with EU legal requirements, your identity must be verified during this process. HeartBids adheres to the highest privacy standards and never publicly shares information from the identity verification process. We only share whether the verification was successful.

With an instant bid, the amount entered is immediately confirmed as a bid. This means you can make large bid increments without numerous lower bids in between.

Absentee bidding allows you to set a maximum bid up to which bids are automatically placed for you. In this case, the absentee bid always increases by the current minimum bid. Absentee bids are especially interesting if you can not actively participate at the end of an auction and want to bid in absentia.

Please note that if there are several identical highest bids, the bidder who placed their bid first will get the bid!
The minimum bids increment depending on the status of the auction. Up to 50.000,00 €, the minimum bid is 250 €. Between 50.001 € to 100.000 €, it is 500 € and from 100.001 € the minimum bid is 1.000 €.
After you win an auction, our escrow will ask you via email to deposit the vehicle price and the commission into the escrow account. The account is automatically set up and for this transaction only. Simultaneously, you can contact the seller and arrange the vehicle transfer. The escrow will inform the seller as soon as you have deposited the money. At this moment, a 14-day payout period begins, after which the money is automatically paid out to the seller unless you object to the payout. If you need a more extended payout period, e.g., because of long transportation, you can stop the automatic payout. However, you are obliged to release the money as soon as you receive the vehicle, and it matches the description.
The buyer's commission is 6% (incl. 19% VAT) of the auction proceeds or at least 600€ (incl. 19% VAT). With increasing auction results, the percentage of the commission drops. The exact amount of commission can be found in our pricing overview
Added value for buyers:

The trust-based payment process takes place step by step, thereby preventing you from being left with no money or goods at the end of the day or paying for something that you did not order or commission. With an escrow agent, you can be sure that your contract partner endeavors to carry out the basic business quickly and to your satisfaction.

When you hand over your vehicle in person, you do not have to make a detour to your bank to withdraw cash and transport it from A to B - you just pay on delivery quickly and easily with one click

Added value for sellers

. You do not have to take any financial advance risk. The buyer or customer pays the agreed price (also partial or partial payments possible) before you ship the vehicle. Once the money has been deposited into the escrow account, the buyer won't receive the money without your consent.
