Vehicle Detail
Rare 1983 mercedes 280 CE coupe. This is a no reserve auction. I paid almost $3000.00 for this car several months ago. The model has the very rare high horsepower engine (euro models only) also the euro bumpers and the cloth interior. 280CE models were not imported into the US after 1981. I purchased it a few months ago with the intent to restore it but have not had anytime to tinker with it. The body is 95+% rust free and is in good condition except for a hit on the rear bumper/trunk. The body has just a few parking lot dings and the paint is shiny but truly looks best at 15+ feet away. The interior has the rare cloth interior which has some wear but no rips or tears on the seats. The power windows/ sunroof and power locks work fine. The car always starts right up and the engine runs well. Although the transmission works it definitely needs a rebuild (hard shift). the A/C and heat do not work but the auto fan operates properly. The radio/CD is new and has an amp and a remote and the clock keeps perfect time. The tires and wheels are in very good to excellant condition. The suspension seems a little tired and probably needs some attention. The car was recently driven 200 miles with no broblems (other than trans). Just to help the buyer here is how I would rate the car: 1-10 10 being perfect: exterior body and paint-7 interior-7 engine-8 transmission-4/5 heat/AC-2 suspension-6 electrical-8 overall-6/7 FYI. yes its a 1983 model. VIN number on euro cars do not work properly on ebay
