AS EVIDENT VALUES ARE ON THE RISE - YOU WILL NOT LOSE ON THIS CAR!
VEHICLE HISTORY:
WAS OWNED BY A LADY WHO MOVED TO BERKELEY FROM ARIZONA A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. IT WAS MOSTLY PARKED AFTER THE MOVE. THEY RECENTLY GOT IT REGISTERED IN CA, SO IT NOW HAS CA REGISTRATION (DMV RETAINED PLATES FOR PROOF OF INSURANCE).
I HAVE OWNED IT FOR A FEW MONTHS. HAD SEEN IT FOR SALE LAST YEAR AND WHEN IT WAS ADVERTISED AGAIN I WENT FOR IT! DROVE IT FROM BERKELEY TO CONCORD. DRIVES STRAIGHT AND SOLID AS A 43 YEAR OLD MERCEDES SHOULD! HAVEN'T DRIVEN IT SINCE PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY BUT HAVE STARTED IT A COUPLE OF TIMES.
IF I HAD THE GARAGE SPACE I WOULD KEEP BOTH CARS CURRENTLY FOR SALE! INTENDED TO GET IT FIXED BUT HAVE INVESTED IN A COUPLE OF OTHER PROJECTS - TESTING THE MARKET WITH THIS LISTING. RELUCTANT TO SELL BUT SELLING THIS AND THE ALFA GTV6 SO THAT I CAN FOCUS ON THE 280SE/9 3.5!
THERE IS SURFACE RUST IN VARIOUS SPOTS, TRUNK, ETC. PAINT IS FADED, CRACKED, PEELING CLEAR COAT. BOTH BUMPERS HAVE VISIBLE RUST AND WILL NEED RE-CHROMED. SOME TRIM IS LOOSE OR MISSING. THE TRUNK LOCK BUTTON IS MISSING AND SOME INTERIOR DOOR CHROME TRIM AS WELL. INTERIOR WILL NEED MINOR ATTENTION AND A CLEAN UP. I HAVE NO IDEA AS TO THE CONDITiON OF THE SOFT TOP!
I HAVE SOURCED A TRUNK LOCK AND SOME OF THE DOOR TRIMS AND WILL INCLUDE THEM!
ALTHOUGH THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION PERFORMED WELL DURING THE DRIVE HERE, THERE ARE NO MAINTENANCE RECORDS (PREVIOUS OWNER THOUGHT IT 'MAY' NEED A TUNE UP OR VALVE JOB DOWN THE ROAD). HAS STARTED ON THE FIRST ATTEMPT EACH TIME I HAVE TRIED SO FAR!
THE UNDERSIDE/FLOORING/SILLS LOOK GOOD - PLEASE SEE ALL PICTURES FOR DETAILS. IF YOU NEED ADDITIONAL AREAS PHOTOGRAPHED, WILL BE GLAD TO TAKE MORE PICTURES.
