This is a NO RESERVE listing. This is my 1985 Mercedes-Benz 280SE S-class sedan with 110,647 miles. This is a rare European model that was imported to this country by a doctor when it was new. This model was not sold in the US but Mercedes-Benz still supports it and parts are available. This car is unique in that it has the European-spec high-horsepower 2.8L Twin-Cam fuel-injected Inline-6 engine. This engine makes an outstanding (for the time) 185 HP and still gets superb fuel economy. This car has a US VIN and it is registered and plated in Ohio. It has a clean and clear OH title ready to transfer. The gauges are in miles per hour and everything is marked in English. The US-model S-class cars were nice, but they had cosmetic and performance modifications that make them less appealing than their European counterparts. I particularly like the European bumpers which are much more attractive than the big heavy US model bumpers. Finding a Euro model here in the US is hard since they were extremely expensive to bring over. This car was brought over new by a doctor. This car is autobahn-ready. It is a smooth, powerful and quick car that doesn't have any of the US performance-robbing mods and was built the way Mercedes-Benz intended. This car has the following equipment: 2.8L DOHC aluminum Inline-6 engine with 185 horsepowerautomatic transmissionpower moonroof (works great)power windows and locksautomatic climate control system with A/C (working)ABS brakesThis is a tight, nimble car that drives like a much smaller vehicle. This was the top-of-the-range full size car but it is quick and great-handling. The engine is smooth, quiet and powerful and it runs beautifully. The transmission shifts great and the car drives very well. It doesn't have any known mechanical problems or issues. I don't see any reason why this car couldn't make a long drive anywhere. The interior is clean and in very nice condition. The upholstery is a European-only cloth that you won't find in US-spec cars. The seats, carpets and interior are all clean and nice with no undue wear. I have just had the car serviced and replaced the spark plugs, spark plug wires, distributor cap and rotor, ignition coil and electronic ignition module. Other recent work includes brakes and a recent oil and filter change. This car runs very well. The air conditioning is working and the sunroof opens and closes properly. All of the gauges are working. The paint and body are clean and in nice shape. The paint still carries a shine and looks nice. The aluminum wheels are in good condition. This is a very presentable, clean car. The vehicle VIN is WDB1260221A128375. This is a foreign imported vehicle. This is a 29 year old car and as such it isn't perfect or brand new. Here is a list of every known issue: The passenger door power window isn't working. Some of the wooden dash trim is cracked and broken. The left rear corner of the car had a shopping car dent and has been repainted. The rest of the paint appears to be original and is in very presentable condition. The tires are older but have good tread. The edges of the rear bumper have a few corrosion holes which is common with these cars. The ABS light seems to be on most (not all) of the time but the brakes stop very well. This is not a cosmetically perfect car but it looks very nice for a 29-year-old car. It has been very well kept. This car is kept inside my climate-controlled garage in Willoughby, OH. For shipping please contact Angels Moving Autos at 530 245 0481.
