Rollin in my Benzo
« on: February 09, 2011, 09:11:50 PM »
Just bought me a 1982 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL (Euro)

I payed $ 1500.00 for this classic car. Runs like a top, has some Ohio rust but not that much. Wooooooooooooo

We had a same vintage 240D diesel. Try to get the seat belts SRS upgraded. Thing was a bit short on safety - though as it being a diesel, it'll die when the rest of the body rots away. Things only got 60k on it still.

Inspect your Electric fuel pump.    They usually start going around 100k.   Pull it and replace the hoses.

Hey man enjoy the hell out of it, I have had two.  In fact, this AM I was looking at 190SLs on Ebay... bit expensive for me.  Nice choice as well.  the SL is a car that rides like a dream and still has some straight line prettythang....  they are real good daily drivers.  Congrats!

Seems like a steal.  Does it have a massive amount of mileage or some other detriment?
