Guest Posted July 13, 2002 Share Posted July 13, 2002 I am considering purchasing this car with 6-cylinder, fuel inj, lthr, 100k miles, and was wondering if maintence-wise how much trouble or money would it take to keep it in good condition, or how difficult would it be to work on it. I'd appreciate any opinions on the subject. <A HREF="http://adcache.collectorcartraderonline.com/10/5/4/26282454.htm" TARGET=_blank>1972 280SE</A> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter J.Heizmann Posted July 13, 2002 Share Posted July 13, 2002 J...<P>My father had a 2 seat MB roadster (1972). Cannot remember the model, however, it was a beautiful car. One thing I do know about MB is take the same advise I gave him: Take it to a MB dealer and let them check it over.<P>Unless you are an extremely good mechanic in your own right, I would not plan on doing your own work. As for the 100K miles, they are only broken-in at that point, however, you have no way of knowing how the previous owner took care of it, their driving habits (did they beat the hell out of it), and, so on.<P>Get it checked out first by someone in the know...<P>Regards, Peter J.
