Vehicle Detail
THE OVERVIEW Offered for an appreciating new owner is this rare classic 1970 Mercedes Benz 280SE Sedan w/factory sunroof! LOW STARTING BID! NO RESERVE OR BUY-IT-NOW! This is a solid classic almost-driver or restoration project OR use it for parts even. It has a clear California title, runs and drives, good brakes, leather interior, sunroof, car phone and chrome alloy wheels. A great offering at a very low price here on Ebay! Also see this link for even more zoomable photos: https://picasaweb.google.com/bimmerbros PLEASE CALL 650-307-2251 FOR QUESTIONS, TEST DRIVES OR MECHANICAL INSPECTIONS THE BODY AND TRIM As I hope is articulated in the photos here the body and trim of this car are in fair condition with wavy paint, cracking, some bondo and chipping here and there. The original chrome trim is intact and seems original. The car has newer Mercedes chrome wheels with two decent and two lackluster tires. THE INTERIOR The interior of this Benz is in quite original somewhat tattered condition with factory electric sunroof, electric windows, original phone, wood trim and leather seating [worn and cracked leather and some fraying in carpet]. The odometer shows 50,XXX miles but the actual miles are unknown. I believe the radio functions. THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE This classic Benz starts and runs but smokes out the tailpipe. I am told one bad piston ring [?]. The car drives well and fairly solid down the road [I drove it many miles before the engine started smoking]. The suspension is fairly supple and the car tracks and brakes well. I recommend towing versus driving it but up to you. THE DETAILS AND $$$$$$ 1. The car will be sold to new owner with clear and clean California certificate of title. This car is smog-exempt here in California. Please note that California buyers will owe fees for expired registration. Out-of state/country sale would be best for all parties. 2. Zero feedback bidders please call me or bids will be cancelled. This car is being advertised in other venues so I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. 3. I will assist with shipping arrangements [buyer pays costs]. I recommend Chris at Kelly's Auto Transport at 951-845-6224 4. Winning bidder please call 650-307-2251 or email me thru ebay within 24 hours of auction close. 5. $300 down payment via Paypal w/in 2 days of auction close. [Buy-it-now requires immediate $500 payment] 6. Balance due via CASH in person, bank wire transfer or certified funds within 5 days of auction close
