That car looks pretty decent to me. It's the 'wrong' engine for those that care about that sort of stuff, but looks reasonably well-cared-for. Probably falls into the faintly desirable box, without being cheap enough to be appealing 'because cheap'.

I always wonder about the people who buy cars like that new - who decided to spend more than the price of an average house on a Mercedes SEC, but then decided to go for the basic engine?
Seems like one of those "in for a penny, in for a pound" things. I doubt a 500 or 560 would've had a much worse range or worse maintenance requirements.
Dad bought mum a year old 500SEC back in the day. Was an astonishing car!Seems like one of those "in for a penny, in for a pound" things. I doubt a 500 or 560 would've had a much worse range or worse maintenance requirements.

Remove the solar lights and the cars and van in the background and this picture could be one for the period classic picture thread.Under thread min, but worthy of inclusion as a rather appealing summer runabout.

A car your grandfather might have had. Yours for 8 grand, which is probably what he earned throughout his entire lifetime.

Finally, if anyone is already completely shedded this early on a Saturday night, something to tempt the unwary.
