The incredible 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280SE 3.5 “Low-Grille” Coupe featured here is finished in the stunning, factory correct color combination of Silver-Grey over an impeccably kept Blue leather interior. This particular example was delivered new to its first owner in June 1972 by Star Motor Cars of Houston, Texas and remained in the hands of the original owner for nearly 20 years. Since that time the 280SE has been meticulously maintained and sparingly driven by collector-level ownership, even going as far as winning first place at a Mercedes-Benz Club of America concours event recently. An incredibly low 41,463 miles are present on the odometer; a number which is documented actual by the accompanying service records dating back to when the car was first delivered in 1972. In addition to the outstanding service history an incredible assortment of original books and documentation accompany this 1971 Mercedes-Benz today, including the owner’s manual, original VIN stamped warranty book, original service book, original took kit & jack, fuel fill records from the original owner, spare keys, original Becker radio books & warranty information, and more. The numbers-matching 3.5 liter SOHC V8 engine is still in place as verified by the accompanying decoded Mercedes-Benz Data Card copy. With such incredibly low mileage, outstanding documentation, originality and numbers matching provenance this 280SE 3.5 Coupe is one of the best examples of its kind to be found on the market today and will certainly bring many years of enjoyment to its future caretaker. We are proud to offer this outstanding example of a Mercedes-Benz 280SE 3.5 “Low-Grille” Coupe, from the final year of production, to the most astute collector, investor or enthusiast who appreciates documented low mileage and accompanying documentation.

Finance rates as low as 5.9%.

We know that classic car financing can pose a unique challenge. Although a vintage or exotic car can be an excellent investment, some financial institutions attempt to apply standard “used car” rules for financing a classic car, which in many cases can make loan approval difficult.

We work closely with many banking institutions that understand and recognize the collector value of classic cars and view them as an investment, which allows us to help you get the financing you need so that you can have the car you have dreamed of.

Terms available up to 144 Months

If you have any questions, feel free to contact us, (314)291-7000 or credit@schmitt.com

Daniel Schmitt & Company has described the above-mentioned vehicle to the best of our ability. However, as with all pre-owned automobiles, the condition is subjective, and we recommend that the potential buyer fly out to inspect, as well as test drive any of our vehicles before finalizing their purchase. If it is not feasible for you to personally perform an inspection, we will gladly help facilitate an inspection by an independent service center of your choice and will make delivery arrangements of the vehicle for this purpose. All vehicles are sold in “AS IS” condition. Extended warranty options are available on most vehicles. Please be advised that no verbal statements concerning any vehicle constitutes a representation or warranty of said vehicle. Our goal is to provide you with the best service and buying experience as possible. All purchases include an additional $385 processing fee which covers the processing of paperwork, pre-vehicle delivery costs, FedEx shipping fees, and a 30-day temporary registration plate so that the vehicle can be driven prior to the title transfer. (ATTENTION INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please be aware that you will be responsible for the Federal Reserve fee(s) charged for all incoming wires).

In regards to winning bidders and Buy It Now customers: All winning bidders and Buy It Now bidders are encouraged to fly out and personally inspect the vehicle. If you deem the vehicle is not as represented upon personal inspection, we will not only refund your deposit, but will also reimburse your airfare at the cost of a coach ticket. Feedback must be left at the time of delivery upon final inspection.

Pertaining to non-eBay winners: Anyone who has provided a deposit but whose purchase is still pending, please note that said vehicle will not be held and is subject to being sold at any time until all contingencies are removed and the purchase order is signed.

The advertised mileage represents the actual miles when the car was posted online. These vehicles are test-driven and actual mileage may vary at the time of sale.

Condition Disclaimer

All used vehicles should be assumed to have some degree of wear. We do not manufacture our product. Each vehicle’s brand has its strengths, styles, tendencies, and shortcomings. Despite our best efforts to verify a vehicle’s mechanical condition, we are not able to warranty a manufacturer’s workmanship or a previous owner’s diligence in care of said vehicle. Due to this reason, all vehicles are sold “AS IS”. There are no mechanical guarantees, expressed or implied.
