Vehicle Details

AI Listing Summary

This 1979 Mercedes-Benz 280 SE, a final six-cylinder S-Class, presents well with a well-preserved interior and low mileage. While mechanicals like the fuel injection were addressed, an engine overhaul, service, and front brake replacement are recommended, indicating it will need some work.

Condition

6

The car has a remarkably well-preserved original interior and a relatively low mileage for its age (102,777 km). However, the description explicitly recommends an engine overhaul, general service, and front brake replacement, indicating that some reconditioning is required. The fuel injection and ignition system were rebuilt 5 years ago, which is a positive note. Cosmetically, it's described as having 'Milan Brown Metallic paint' and 'MB-Tex and Tabak fabric upholstery,' suggesting a good, but not perfect, appearance. Considering these factors, a 'Good' (6) rating seems appropriate, reflecting moderate wear that requires some reconditioning, particularly on the mechanical side.
