Description

Offered is a 1998 Mercedes-Benz S 280 from the W140 series with a 2.8-liter inline-six, 142 kW / 193 hp and automatic transmission. The current mileage is approximately 272,500 km.

The vehicle is roadworthy and has been extensively maintained, particularly from a technical standpoint, in recent years. The larger documented workshop invoices from the more recent period total approximately €7,300.

The work carried out includes, among other things:

• Fuel tank, including tank ventilation and other components, renewed

• Inspection and oil service carried out

• Tie rods renewed

• Front axle brakes renewed

• Steering damper renewed

• Door check straps and blower regulator renewed

• Bosch alternator renewed

The engine work at around 260,000 km was particularly extensive. The engine was removed, the cylinder head was dismantled, pressure-tested and resurfaced. Various engine gaskets were renewed. The timing chain, chain tensioner and guide rails were also replaced. In addition, the water pump, thermostat and spark plugs were renewed.

The underbody as well as various wheel arch and suspension areas have been treated and/or preserved. Corresponding recent photos are part of the vehicle documentation.

The interior is complete and is in an orderly condition appropriate for its age and mileage. The vehicle is equipped with, among other things, leather upholstery, automatic transmission and automatic climate control.

In my assessment, the engine and automatic transmission function properly. The MOT is valid until 10/2027.

The Mercedes is now almost 28 years old and accordingly shows signs of use related to its age and mileage. It is expressly not being offered as a concours or museum vehicle. The photos are intended to present the actual condition as transparently as possible.

Particularly worthy of mention is the extensively documented technical maintenance carried out over the past several years. Invoices and further vehicle documents are available.

The sale is taking place because the vehicle collection is to be reduced.

Viewing before the end of the auction is possible by prior arrangement and is expressly welcome.
