1985 380SE--Excellent

Thought I would offer my 380SE before selling/trading it to dealer I purchased it from last April. Looking at replacing it with W107 or W129 model.
Price is $6750 which is slightly more than dealer offered me. I paid more than this last year and have done following to the car:

-motor mounts
-upper control arms and sway bar bushings
-new Bilstein comfort shocks-front and rear
-rear sway bar links
-steering damper
-fresh fluids-brake, transmission, coolant, power steering, differential
-new fuel filter,fuel accumulator
-air filter and smog pump filter
-new sparkplugs
-new plug wires
-new distributor cap and rotor
-new water temp sensor
-new belts
-new radiator upper and lower hoses

Everything works except intermittent cruise control. Most likely cruise amplifier.

All records from original owner and most work in last 10 years done at my independent, exclusive MB's, shop. Also a past owner was tech. at this shop.

No tears, stains or cracks in interior and body has only a few very small road dings. No rust anywhere.

I'm anal about taking care of my cars and this is a greaat example of W126 short wheel base model. I'm sure it will and does need other things( they all do or will) but I drive it everyday and would have no fear of taking it anywhere.

Anyone interested can email me at gganaway@cinci.rr.com and I will email back as many pictures as you want from any angle or perspective. Thanks

car will be on Ebay tomorrow with several pictures. Probably too high price for what most here are looking for but I'm sure there are others out there like me that want a top of line example.

Yeah, I went to e-bay and viewed the car and it is indeed stunning. Probably worth alot more than the bid will go. The 380SE's do not seem to be bringing what they are worth. Seems like all of that does to the 300SD.

There is a 83' 300SD on there with 217K miles in good shape that it already at $5000. I could have bought a car just like this locally (83' 300SD) that was even the same color, but it had 220K miles - for $1600. I still regret not buying that car.

Good luck selling your car Gary. I hope it brings a good price. It is definitely a stunning car.
