About this car
This 1985 S-Class Coupe is offered on eBay by merit_cars in College Point, NY. The asking price is $12,950. The car is finished in Gray over Brown, an automatic gearbox. The odometer shows 103,030 miles. The listing never identifies the exact model; it is a C126 S-Class coupe (a 380SEC or 500SEC), and the VIN in the listing is a placeholder of repeated digits. On a C126 coupe, check for rust around the rear window and in the battery tray, and test the vacuum-operated door locks and the climate controls.
What the photos show
- Grey paint looks dull overall, and the trunk lid shows white clear-coat peeling patches, so budget paint correction or a respray of panels.
- Rear badge reads 560 SEC, so check the year and model paperwork against the badge before paying — the listing title only says S-Class Coupe.
- Tan leather seats look intact with no big tears, so no full reupholstery bill, but they look worn and dirty.
- Tan carpets are stained and dirty, so budget a full interior detail.
- Dash top looks like a fitted cover rather than bare dash, and the gauge faces are dusty, with the odometer reading 103031, so inspect the dash underneath the cover.
- Underside looks dirty with surface rust on the oil pan and exhaust, though the floors look broadly solid, so budget a cleanup and rust check.
- Spare wheel well is empty of a spare and shows rust spots, so budget for a spare and a well tidy.
- Alloy wheels look unpolished but straight and tires look usable, so no immediate tire bill.
- Engine bay is only shown as a close-up of the core-support plates, so I can't judge the engine itself.
- One sampled photo is a Merit Cars dealer ad card with other classics, so the gallery tail is padded with advertising.
Money: At $12,950 the coupe shape and intact leather help, but dull peeling paint, filthy carpets and a rusty spare well make it a needs-work price, not a finished-car price.
