The car for sale is a Mercedes-Benz 280 SE sedan type W126, which was sold new by the Paris dealer COMO-AUTOMOBILES in 1980 and has always been parked in the owner's garage in the 16th arrondissement of Paris. The metallic green paintwork is old and has a few minor defects, but no rust. The charcoal gray Pullman fabric interior is in very good condition, except for the left side of the driver's seatback, which needs repair. The bodywork and underpinnings are sound and show no signs of accident. It has less than 130,000 kms on the odometer and was recommissioned by the Mercedes agent in Versailles in 2022 (invoices). The fuel tank, piping, fuel pump and pressure regulator were replaced. The injection metering-distributor and fuel pressure accumulator are also new. The entire ignition system has been rebuilt, the engine drained and the water pump replaced. There's a little rubbing noise when driving in reverse, and there are still a few details to revise, such as the electric sunroof and an electric rear window that don't work, as well as the lock on one rear door and interior trim around the rear window that need to be refastened, but nothing that prevents you from swallowing up kilometers like a TGV. All in all, an elegant S-Class with a clear history, functional and very affordable.
