Mercedes-Benz 500 Q&As

Check out real-world situations relating to the Mercedes-Benz 500 here, particularly what our experts have to say about them.

  • Merc hunter

    THE 500 SEC wasn't sold here before 1993 so any car you may see for sale will be a private import and should be checked carefully. The 560 SEC was sold here from 1986 and is a much better proposition because it is easier to check the background of one for sale. There are no inherent problems with the 560 SEC, except that it is a gas guzzler, and consumes brakes at a rapid rate, all because of its bulk.
