Any thoughts on this 280SEL??
1972 Mercedes 280 SEL 4.5
Paint is 10 years old, looks good from 10ft. Chrome could use a polishing. Runs good, no issues. Just had new distributer, and fuel injectors cleaned, said it was missing at a certain RPM but now is good. Timing chain etc. 2 of the windows are having issues. AC blows cool, but getting warmer. Had small amount of rust in the wheel wells which he patched and painted. He is firm on $6750....I think $6,000.

Going to be inspected tomorrow by a Classic Mercedes specialist.
If it comes back ok, I will bite on it!

Hope it goes well!
If anyone runs across a black 280SEL let me know!

I came across a white 108 SEL, sorry, total opposite color, and also it is a M130, sorry opposite motor, but I sure do like it for its green interior color (yeah, I have odd taste*):
*My daily driver is a "1992 ahem-double-you" with a blue interior, and I love it. Sure beats the black/grey/tan that 99% of them have.

Got a call this am. Mechanic said it a very clean car. No leaks, no rust. Everything seemed fine. Did say the motor mounts were a bit old, and the king pins a bit worn. Other than that he said the AC just needs a recharging. All electronics worked, power Windows on one side were a bit slow. Motor ran very well, and needs nothing.
With this being said, I intend on daily driving this car in town for 4-5 months until I begin moving. Do you think it sounds like a good purchase?

Looks like a well-cared for car.
Did you pay $5,800 for it? I like the floor shift...don't see those too often. My 4.5 is a column shift. Your car likely has 143,974 miles as the odometer doesn't have the sixth digit. My car has 180,000 miles, and still runs like new.
