Used 1978 Mercedes-Benz 280-Class for Sale near Minneapolis, MN

yea, this car is responsible for the great reputation of Mercedes. and I'm telling you, I'd buy one again (I didn't really own one, friends bought one and we shared for a time). Just look at it! how more automobile can a car be? everything is in the place where you'd expect it, no gadgetry. just pureness. and it's a fantastic comfortable ride too.

Great classic car with classic good looks. Almost everywhere I went in this car a stranger would strike up a conversation about it. The car was strong, solid, and reliable, but lacked seriously in the performance department. Not very fast, and not the best handling, but some of that could be due to its age. Regardless, I still enjoyed every minute of ownership, there's just something about driving an old Mercedes...

My car is actually a 1978 w-123 300D, only it doesn't appear in the list, its a great piece of machinery, it drives more smoothly than most modern cars and its very spaceful, it is extremely comfortable and can be very fun to drive! I get 30km to the gallon and the great thing about it is that the shocks and all kinds of repairs last a very long time, even treating the car a little roughly. my car rocks!

benz can buil a hell of a car

Good to start with oldtimers, fair maintenance price, a lot of original parts still available, looks good on the road, very enjoyable to drive (automatic), and the next logical step would be Jaguar XJ-6 (mid 70).
