AI Listing Summary
A 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280SE 3.5 Cabriolet that received a multi-year refurbishment ending in 1990, featuring a desirable V8 engine and a recent interior and tire refresh. While it presents well after its restoration, the title status and odometer discrepancy warrant attention from potential buyers.
Condition
7
The car underwent a multi-year refurbishment completed in 1990, including a repaint and interior reupholstering. Recent records indicate a replacement of tires and the AC system was converted to R134a. The Rhode Island title has an 'Exceeds' brand which raises concerns about the odometer reading, and the title is listed as a duplicate.
