Used 1972 Mercedes-Benz 280SEL - Showroom Quality/As-New Condition for sale in San Diego, CA

This 1972 Mercedes-Benz 280 SEL 4.5L V8 (230hp) sedan is quite likely one of the finest in existence. Additional pics available upon request.

Stunning condition with just 69,000 miles since new, with perfect paint, excellent glass, excellent bright work, chrome, numerous and expensive efforts to keep it a show quality driver, you would be hard pressed to find a nicer one. Tobacco brown exterior with indestructible brown MB-Tex interior seating surfaces, air conditioning, power windows, power door locks and Becker Europa AM/FM radio.

If you are a Mercedes afficionado, you'll know that the basic design was by Paul Bracq - and these are the best of the S-Class built between 1965-1972: Only 8,173 of these cars were built in 1971-1972 with the larger M117 V-8 engine, automatic transmission, Bosch electronic ignition, and 4-wheel disc brakes.

Owned by the seller since 2020, with a set of 5 new (2022) steel belted radials, new battery and a recent $1500 ceramic paint application. The prior owner reportedly spent more than $5,000 to detail the engine compartment and refinish all interior wood in the dash and dashboard trim, and another $5000 to upgrade the interior carpeting and trunk carpeting, and add wood accents in the door panels, this car personifies the words "pride of ownership."
