Overview about this 1985 Mercedes-Benz 500 SEC Cabriolet for sale

The C126 coupé is the two-door of the S-Class of the 1980s, and the 500 SEC is its V8: a pillarless body with frameless glass, and the belt feeder that hands the seat belt forward when the doors close. The factory built no cabriolet, so an open car of this type is coachbuilt.

FAQ

This Mercedes-Benz 500 SEC in the European market

How this car sits against the other Mercedes-Benz 500 SEC advertised in Europe on 2026, and what to settle before a cross-border purchase.

Is this Mercedes-Benz priced above or below the European market?

At €89,900, it sits below the median of €149,500 for the 132 Mercedes-Benz advertised in Europe in 2026. 23% of them are advertised for less. Asking prices are not transaction prices, and specification differences explain much of the spread. See the listings

Can this Mercedes-Benz be bought in Germany and registered elsewhere in Europe?

The car is located in Nuremberg, Germany. The dealer has not stated whether the price is quoted gross, net of VAT for export, or under the margin scheme. Cross-border purchase is normal for this kind of car, but the documentation, the certificate of conformity, transport and the registration rules of the destination country all have to be settled with the selling dealer first.

How does the mileage of this Mercedes-Benz compare?

92,400 km recorded, against a median of 11,103 km across the Mercedes-Benz advertised in Europe in 2026. It is therefore among the higher-mileage cars currently listed. Service history and previous owners are not published on LUSSO and should be confirmed with the selling dealer.

Which other Mercedes-Benz are priced closest to this one?

a 2025 car in Czechia at €90,265, and a 1963 car in Germany at €88,890. Observed in 2026. Comparing them means putting model year, mileage, factory options and the VAT basis side by side before the price itself. See the listings

Who is selling this Mercedes-Benz 500 SEC, and how does a purchase work?

Auto Zitzmann GmbH, a professional dealer in Nuremberg, Germany. LUSSO lists the car and passes enquiries to that dealer; the inspection, the negotiation, the invoice and the transfer of ownership all take place directly between the buyer and the dealer. LUSSO does not hold stock, take deposits or act as an intermediary in payment.

Can this Mercedes-Benz 500 SEC be inspected before purchase?

The car is at Nuremberg, Germany, and an inspection is arranged with the selling dealer. Buyers based in another country commonly appoint an independent inspector or a marque specialist rather than travel. Ask the dealer for the service record, the number of previous owners and any accident history: LUSSO does not publish these and cannot confirm them.

Is this Mercedes-Benz 500 SEC still available?

LUSSO republishes what the selling dealer advertises, and a car in demand is sometimes reserved or sold before the dealer updates its own site. Confirm current availability with Auto Zitzmann GmbH before travelling or committing funds. An enquiry sent from this page reaches that dealer directly.
