Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1988 Mercedes-Benz 300 SE presents a mixed bag, running but with acknowledged starting issues and a preference for warming up. On the upside, it boasts a very long MOT, extensive service history, and ownership records, providing reassurance and insight into its maintenance.
Condition
5
The car's description indicates it's 'running okay' with starting issues and the need to warm up, suggesting some mechanical wear. Cosmetically, the text does not mention any defects but implies that there may be some issues considering the car is sold 'as seen'. Substantial history and MOT until October 2025 indicate care, but potential mechanical issues impact the overall rating.
