1985 Mercedes-Benz 280CE Petrol Blue Green Metallic (877) European Spec
Description
far as the rest of the vehicle, there are only a few minor blemishes which include very light scratches on the edge of the hood as well as a small ding in the front bumper. All is verified clear by carfax. I rate the exterior as a solid 9 out of 10 taking in to account the age of the vehicle and the excellent repair work under the previous ownership.
Wheels 14″ Bundt alloy wheels are mounted with 195/70 nkook Optimo H724 tires. The car is equipped with four-wheel independent suspension and stopping power is provided by disc brakes at each corner. The front wheel bearings, brake pads, rotors, and wear sensors were replaced in 2018 along with the parking brake shoes. A recent tune-up and oil change was done within the last 200 miles of use.
Interior The front buckets seats are upholstered in black leather, and the beautiful zebrano wood trim (in superb condition) accents the dashboard and center console. The dash is in excellent condition with no cracks (very unusual for these classic 280’s). Additional appointments consist of air conditioning, power front windows, a ico AM/FM cassette stereo, and front floor mats.
A classic four-spoke steering wheel fronts a retrofitted 150-mph speedometer, a tachometer, a clock, and gauges for fuel economy, oil pressure, coolant temperature, and fuel level. The six-digit odometer shows 136k miles consistent with the car’s maintenance history.
ne The 2.8-liter inline-six features fuel injection and dual overhead camshafts, rated at 182 horsepower when new. The battery was replaced and an oil change was recently performed as stated.
