280SE


This car is a bit of an enigma.. yes, it's as nice as it looks in the photos, possibly even nicer. It has 193,000 kilometers which is barely broken in for one of these, the body is as straight as an arrow, the paint shiny, not a spec of rust to be found, overall it's a great looking car. However, it has it been sitting in the same spot on a Toulon street for about a month and the insurance/registration both expired in 2006.

Note the headlights, the bumpers and the wheels, all of which are different from a U.S. spec model. The first two are due to EPA regulations and the latter is because U.S. consumers would gawk at buying a Mercedes S-Class with steel wheels and hubcaps.
