'85 280 CE Traded it for a Delorean!
This was the latest and greatest for me. I was the 2nd highest bidder on fleabay but the winning bidder didn't pay because it wouldn't start. The owner put a new ignition module in it, raised the price and I spotted it on craiglist. Paid $225 over my prior bid, but WELL worth it!

It's got an oil leak and it's gas. That's about all I can say bad about it. The color has grown on me and I'm going to miss it.

Nice features:
Cruise labeled auf Deutsch
Trunk triangle
NO RUST
euro bumpers & headlights
181k (working odometer)

Alas...I sold her...for a Delorean.

The owner liked the trunk triangle and the bumpers, so I left them on. I got such a deal on the Delorean that it wasn't even an issue.

Still got my Roadster though!

gs sparhawk Oh, yeah! CEs are pretty fine but----a Delorean! I've got a crowd of rescue-MBs including a 6.9 and a CD --- and a fintail but --I'd probably raise my hand for a trade--a Delorean doesn't come around all that often and if it's pretty nice, well---- Congratulations.

Tanksowner You should've found a compatible flux capacitor for the 280 and kept it. You would've been back to the future in no time. 01-21-2011
eagle-co94 Yeah, I think I'm going to find another 280CE. My roadster just can't smoke tires and I liked the cheap parts prices for the benz. I can get nearly any part for the DeLorean...but they're not that cheap. 03-08-2009
PanzerSD Here, I worry about the availability of parts for my benz, and you go buy a delorean??
both cars are cool..I like the idea of the stainless body panels but i like the benz.

WICKED shot of the burnout tho!

Lawson1923 Just surious, do you still have this car? 01-24-2008
280EZRider This car is a real find; the last 280 W123. Beautiful color; I think the interior color is great - very warm. Take care of it. 11-18-2007
