Before we begin, we want to make things very clear. This is a used car, and is likely not in perfect condition. If you're looking for a car that is 100% perfect, you need to purchase a new car. Also, we do not sell parts of any kind. 1973 Mercedes-Benz 280C sport coupe, equipped with the 2.8 litre six cylinder engine, with automatic transmission. There is a clear California title on the car. This Mercedes really is a "barn find" car. It appears that the car hasn't been driven for quite a while. The car will run fine by pouring gasoline into the engine, and we were able to test the moonroof by doing so and it works fine. We were unable to test anything else because currently this is the only way the car will run. The gasoline in the car smells old. The brakes are sticking on the car so that will need to be addressed as well. The car does roll however. Lastly, the exhaust on the vehicle was damaged when someone (not us) loaded it onto a flatbed carrier for transport. On the plus side, this is a rust free car that appears was kept inside even though it wasn't used. The paint on the car still looks great. The interior appears it may be original and had careful use. We have a clear title on the car and the last registered owner was in California. This Mercedes-Benz 280C sport coupe is equipped as follows: 2.8 litre six cylinder engine Automatic transmission 14 inch tires with factory Mercedes matching color wheel covers Air conditioning AM/FM factory stereo Power steering Power brakes Power moonroof Rear window defroster Unlike some other sellers on ebay, we do not put "mint" in the titles of our vehicles and then proceed to bury the flaws in long paragraphs where they can be overlooked.

VEHICLE INFORMATION: Be advised, this is a used vehicle, and as such, it may have or develop issues or problems at any moment. It is likely not perfect. I can't guarantee that I described every physical and internal defect or flaw. The vehicle is sold as-is, where-is, with no warranty expressed or implied. Please don't have unreasonable expectations that this is a new car. The auction could be canceled at any time, for any reason deemed by the seller. All information described above is based on the condition of the car when the ad was written. Please feel free to contact us via email if you would like to see the vehicle prior to bidding. We only ask that you not wait until the last day of the auction, and please follow through on your appointment. Your bid is your agreement to purchase the vehicle, not to come and look at it and then decide. You have ten days to do that before the end of the auction. I've done my very best to describe the vehicle as honestly as possible. I don't know everything about the vehicle's condition and don't claim to. I didn't go over every inch of the car inside and out, but tried to accurately describe the major points. The vehicle has been described as accurately as we know of its condition at the time of the auction. The information listed in the auction is subject to unintentional error. We know of no reason why you couldn't drive it anywhere, but of course cannot make any guarantees. Federal Law states that any vehicle over ten years old is exempt from mileage reporting due to age. Mileage may vary upon delivery due to occasional use and test drives. Some vehicles are factory equipped with only a 5 digit odometer. On these vehicles, mileage indicated in the auction is an odometer reading, as the odometer may only be capable of 5 digits. On these cars, mileage indicated by the odometer may or may not be correct. Please email any other questions you might have.

It would be advisable to locate your own shipping company if you’re an over sea’s customer. We will be here to assist with the transport by supervising the loading of the vehicle onto the truck, and other details as needed. Make sure you inquire to DAS information regarding insurance coverage's on the vehicles they transport. The vehicle can be stored free of charge for up to two weeks after the auction has ended, or longer with prior notification and agreement. Vehicles left past the agreed storage date are subject to a $15.00 per day storage fee. We are open for vehicle pick up during the week. We are not open on the weekend, but can make an exception with prior arrangement. Sorry but we spend weekends with our families. VEHICLE REGISTRATION, SALES TAX, SMOG, FEES, ETC: We are a licensed California auto dealer. The state requires that if you're out of state and plan on coming here to pick up the vehicle, you need to know that California law REQUIRES the buyer to pay sales tax, registration, and smog fee's if they pick up the car and drive it away. This is still the LAW even if you put the car on your trailer and it never touches the California roadway. If you're out of state, avoid can avoid all of these required fees by having your car shipped to your state. This in most cases is less expensive anyway by the time you figure gas, lodging, and other expenses. If you're an out of state buyer but picking up the vehicle and driving home, we can reduce the state required registration to a $18.00 one trip permit, but the other fees will still apply. If you are a California resident, we collect sales tax, registration fee, and a $58.25 smog inspection fee. We then provide you with temporary registration in the window so you can legally drive the vehicle until your title and license plates arrive in the mail. All sales require a $55.00 DMV and paperwork fee. This covers the costs of our mailings of the title, bill of sale, license plates if required, and going to the DMV for you on your behalf. PAYMENT INFORMATION: Please follow the rules of the auction after it is completed, regarding deposit and full payment deadlines. Anyone not following through with the auction will be reported to Ebay and NEGATIVE FEEDBACK will be left. There is a clear title on the vehicle. A non-refundable deposit of $500.00 must be received by me within 24 hours of the close of auction via Paypal, money order, or cashiers check, sent via overnight express mail. After that, full payment needs to have been received within the next five business days of the close of auction. WE DO NOT ACCEPT PAYPAL AS PAYMENT FOR THE BALANCE DUE. In other words, full payment balance after deposit is due 5 business days after the auction close date, and must be paid via cash (in person only for cash), cashiers check, or money order. If you are unable to follow the simple rules of the auction please don't bid. If you have questions, ask them NOW. VEHICLE REGISTRATION AND TRANSFER: There is a clear title on the car. All vehicles that are sold to California buyers that legally require a smog inspection will include it, unless otherwise stated in the auction. Any California buyer will be responsible for all state sales tax, license and actual smog inspection fee. Any out of state buyer will need to contact their own DMV office for registration and transfer information. We wish to thank all of our past customers for their business, and look forward to meeting our new ones.
