Everyone is always asking about daily-driver condition cars at Mercedes Motoring. Something that looks and drives amazing, but doesn't break the bank. It's not often we have these since our main focus are world-class collector level cars. That said, this car checks a lot of boxes without a big price. It has very low miles for a 1973 car with only 117,000 miles. The paint is in excellent condition. We've done a lot of cosmetic and mechanical work which can be discussed upon request. I'm invested in this car well over $20K. I bought it for my wife back in 2022, but we have since purchased her a family car because we have a little toddler now. :)
The main things that make this a daily-driver and not a collector car (for a much bigger price) are very light rust at the lower driver front fender (which has been lightly touched up), and additionally, the seats have been re-stuffed by the previous owner, which are a bit puffy and over-padded. This might be a good thing for you! It also could use light paint-less dent removal (just a few dings), something we do all the time here, but had to keep the budget in mind if this is going to fall into the daily-driver price range and condition. We took the exterior completely apart for detailing so we could polish all sections of the paint deeply and evenly. Restored all the bumper and trim when it went back together. Sewed up a beautiful set of coco mats including the rear package tray and trunk. Sprung for all new high-end square weave carpet, which would have been period correct in a 280SL and others from the era, also all hand-cut and sewn in house. Brand new white steering wheel and pad, which are insanely priced these days if you can find one. I could go on and on. Someone should swoop this one fast for $23,500.

Located in Prescott, Arizona at our sister location. We can easily coordinate transport to you. Free and clear Arizona title.
