I just found a steal of a deal at a local estate auction. I bought a 1984 280 SEL with 65,960 all original miles. The car looks like it was in a time capsule. I know what your thinking SURE!!! The car is red with tan cloth interior no rips no stains looks perfect for a 21 year old car. Everything works even the cruise control!!!! The car has ortho seats of course a sunroof that works smoothly.

I am shocked with how the car rides. My first time with this body and man is it nice. Tires and brakes and alignment are perfect. As I said this is a one in a million car. THe car even has all the books I mean everything. The books also include the German version and the becker radio card with some tool that was included for the radio.

The car has never been in accident and has no rust not even a hint of a bubble!! This is how the car is suppose to be. THe spare tire has never been out of its bay and where it sits is dry and the paint looks perfect like I just opened it up. The paint is all original and still has a great shine. I need to polish the hood but other than that perfect.

I would give this car a 8.5 out of 10 and when I get the door dings out through paintless dent then it would be a 9.75 and I am very tough on rating on a car.

I did not know that mercedes benz has car lights that adjust. All wood is nice and no cracks!! Not even on the dash!!!! I mean nowhere!!!

I paid $4180 and it was an easy transaction when you consider what it is. I figured that if I wanted to sell it I could expect $6,000-7500. I need your opinion if I'm on target or it should bring more or less. Thanks for your advice.
