The 560 badge covers the range-topping W126 560SEL sedan and the R107 560SL roadster, both built to close out the 1980s as Mercedes' most powerful models of the era. Too few sell here in a given stretch to build a sold-price average, so treat this pool as a scarce, condition-driven find rather than a priced market. A straight sedan or a running roadster commands real money among collectors, while a rusted or incomplete car is worth mainly its drivetrain and trim. Most stay in the US with restorers and collectors, picked up on a trailer or shipped in-country.
Both the 560SEL and 560SL run the same 5.6-liter V8, and cars from this era carry a well-documented weak point: the plastic timing chain guide rails wear and can crack with age, so a rattle on startup or a service history missing a guide-rail replacement is worth taking seriously. Rust shows up in the usual places — wheel arches, floor pans and rocker panels — but on the 560SL specifically, check the sunroof drains too, since a clogged drain channel routes water straight into the floor and rear footwells. Because this generation predates the early-1990s wiring changes, electrical gremlins are more often a grounding or connector issue than a harness-wide insulation problem. Trim and chrome are expensive to source on a car this old, so a complete interior and body add real value over a stripped one. A rusted shell with a healthy V8 still pencils out as a parts donor.
