1993 Mercedes 280E for sale
Time has come to sell this beauty as it is no longer used enough to justify keeping it unfortunately.
The car is in good condition and since I owned it (from Jan 2017) I have done the following to it:
- replaced spark plugs with spark leads
- coolant and thermostat replaced mid 2017
- 16 inch rims installed (in place of factory 15 inch, exact same design, came of R129 SL roadster)
- new KYB shocks (stock spec'd) installed front and back in Aug 2018. What a difference it made to handling!
- new battery fitted (some time in 2019)
- installed new Pioneer mechless head unit with USB input and Bluetooth for handsfree calling, along with steering wheel remote. Original Technics head unit is still available if you are interested in original look
- factory optioned door subwoofer speakers retrofitted and powered by Pioneer amp to bring the sound up to scratch
- "OEM fit" Monacor CRB-120PP (coaxial) speakers installed in the front. Listening to a music is now a pleasure :)
- new tyres fitted to front in Aug 2018, done just 10k, so still almost new.
- new tyres to be fitted back once I receive them (delayed due to you-know-why)
- towbar installed in 2019, no heavy towing done, just a few trips to greenwaste tip with a trailer
- transmission oil and filter changed in Aug 2018
- rear axle oil has been replaced around 2018
- regular oil and filter change
Has been garaged while in my ownership.
The car is has the following features:
Cruise Control, electric seats, dual zone climate control, ABS, driver airbag, headlight corrector, electric adjusted mirrors.
Engine wiring loom has been replaced at some stage (Delphi)
I also have a full leather steering wheel if for any reason you don't like wood on the steering wheel.
Head lining is not sagging at all.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
