The best way to make a dramatic an entrance in the power-hungry 80s was in a Mercedes-Benz S-Class. Today a heavy hitter like this 1989 300 SEL long-wheelbase sedan is a great vintage way to still show that youre at the very top of the hierarchy. After alland#44; a well-maintained example like this can still hammer the Autobahn all day at triple-digit speedsand#44; coddling its occupants like no other car in the world. Few cars have a more commanding road presence than an S-Class Mercedesand#44; and youll have no trouble cruising through traffic with this handsome sedan. The two-tone blue is the correct color comboand#44; and we believe you are looking at the factory paint. It still looks great today thanks to Mercedes-Benzs exceptional engineering of their flagship sedan and careful ownership all its life. The executive-level transport has style in spadesand#44; with a formal profile and sleek lines that definitely announce that this big Benz takes no prisoners. In typical German fashionand#44; the design is restrained and the clean lines minimize the cars sizeand#44; but theres no denying that this is a lot of sheetmetal hammering down the road. A few bits of chromeand#44; like the surround for the window opening emphasizes the cars best attributesand#44; and theres just no mistaking the big three-pointed star up front that moves lesser traffic out of the way like a snow plow. So while you may find the occasional signs of this sedan being enjoyed as a luxury cruiserand#44; it still knows how to make an entrance.

Bigand#44; clear instruments are a hallmark of M-B carsand#44; and the whole experience behind the wheel is like piloting a first-class luxury liner.

Its also legendary for its durabilityand#44; and thanks to proper maintenance throughout its lifeand#44; it still fires up with the kind of vigor that makes far newer vehicles jealous. The engine bay is extremely clean and it runs with a soft purr from the exhaust thats befitting a vehicle of this stature.
