Nice euro 123

No, it's not a diesel, but it's got 1/2 velour seats, rear headrests, headlight wipers, lights, just awsome... I wish it was a 5-speed 300D or 240D I would be all over it.

What a beautiful W123 280 E!

Manual windows, manual doorlocks, euro lights and wipers, short euro bumpers, euro a/c.

This car is a rare find.

That's a nice car. The only thing that i am worried about is the mileage, I am sure it is not 113,000.

What leads you to doubt the mileage?

I would be interested if it was a manual transmission.

Have a great day,

The speedometer has been replaced with a US one at some time since it is a Euro spec Model. The mileage might be correct, but I would still be cautious.

No. I had a 280E for 3 years. It's pretty much a dog, speed-wise. Also very fuel inefficient--18-19 mpg. I'd take a 240D manny tranny any time!

Well the US version and the euro version of the 280E/CE/S/SE/SEL are totally different animals. They detuned the engine bigtime for the US market. The euro has approx. 190 horsepower.

This is a great-looking car. I am in California as well. What would you suppose this would be worth? Its a no reserve auction but its early. Anyone had experience with this seller?
