1980 Mercedes-benz 280ce Base Coupe 2-door 2.8l on 2040-cars

THIS IS AN EXTREMELY CLEAN CAR IN GREAT WORKING CONDITION.  IT IS A RARE FIND.  NOT MANY LEFT IN THIS CONDITION.

IT IS A COLLECTIBLE/HARD TO FIND MERCEDES COUPE

I AM A PRIVATE OWNER/SELLER. 

The Mercedes-Benz 280CE was produced from 1976 through 1985. The 280 Series were powered by a six-cylinder engine with had a cast-iron block and aluminum head. Horsepower measured 180 with 220 foot-pounds of torque. A four-speed automatic gearbox was standard with disc brakes in the front and rear. They featured a steel unibody construction and offered as a four-door sedan (280S), and a two door coupe, the 280C.  The NADA pricing on this car is $6,900 low & $13,600 high.

This is an excellent running & driving car. It is a rare Mercedes as not many are even offered for sale. Totally restored they bring upwards of 15k (do the research).  This car is all there and it is all original.  It is absolutely beautiful. The car has electric sunroof, AC & heat, power windows, steering, cruise control. There is no rust whatsoever.  This has been a CA car.  I bought it from a local private owner in my neighborhood.   I am not sure but I believe that he was the original owner.  He certainly took very good care of this car based on its condition.  The car was kept in his garage when I first went to see it.  That is the same condition the car is in today as I have driven the car for few miles and then also stored in my covered garage.  The paint is all original & still looks great and holds a good shine, it is absolutely beautiful. The interior is all original, and look at the pictures to see how pristine it is.  The sunroof doesn't leak & works fine. The brakes are good, tires have fairly good life in them and the battery always been on a battery tender. I kept the car as nice as possible and always put fuel stabilizer and started and moved it every week.  All the glass is in excellent condition, no cracks, or discoloration, except a very small area at the bottom of rear window has some staining, (looks like someone left something there in the past and its color shows on the window a little, it may come off possibly but frankly, I never had time to try (the reason for sale, not enough time to be enjoying this car).  All the lights work & function correctly. This car runs & drives very well. It has the 6cyl. engine & the 123 frame. The car drives very straight on the road, shifts extremely smoothly, the trunk is so clean you can eat off the floor, it is something to see. The engine bay is also very nice and clean and it is all original.  There are no blemishes on the dash.  The wood vaneers are in very good condition, the steering wheel is nice and clean and also in original condition.  There is no crack on dash and dash and the instrument panel are in very good condition.  There are very few of these in this condition.  I drove this car for a few occasions recently and there are no rattles or shakes no inappropriate sounds.  The radio works fine and it has also a CD changer in the trunk which seems very authentic and it has a remote control inside the car in between bucket seats.  I am not sure if the CD changer is original, but it appears to be one of those Mercedes used.

Overall, this is a very nice and rare car that is in great original shape and it is certainly a rare find in this condition. 

The reserve price is set very realistically, but will not be disclosed, please do not ask.  Please also do not e-mail with requests regarding what I will take for the car.  If you want to make an offer you can e-mail me with your offer and I will always respond.  If you want to personally inspect the car please make an appointment well ahead of time.  One would believe that the following is obvious but based on prior experience I will note it here:  If you win the auction, that does not mean that you get to inspect the car and decide if you want to buy.  It means you bought the car and you need to pay.  The deposit is not refundable if you do not go through with the purchase.  If you do not contact me after winning the auction within 24-48 hours, I reserve the right to relist and/or sell the car to others. 

Thank you for your interest in this car.
