Used Mercedes-Benz 500 review: 1990-1993

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.
