Vehicle Description
GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this 1986 Mercedes-Benz 300SE
for your consideration. 1986 European Version Mercedes Benz.
Champaign exterior with Beige Leather interior. European 2.6
straight six-cylinder engine. Two keys & owner's manual (actually
two; one is in German!). Limited paperwork from the Previous Owner.
The car was manufactured for the European market: has "short"
bumpers front & rear; unique manually-operated back windows with
power front windows. Full leather interior in mint condition; wood
grain in mint condition also. No rust (spent time in Florida,
apparently away from salt). Unique European hubcaps. Simple heat
controls only found in Euro models. Power driver seat; manual
passenger seat. Euro radio. Spare tire never on the road; jack
never used. This car was kept in dry storage and driven only on dry
days in summer & fall. The car drives nicely with Cruise Control
working properly while on the expressway. Car starts & idles, goes
into gear (forward & reverse) as it should and shifts properly.
Stops properly. New tires; new rear brake pads (front are well
within wear limits), oil & filter changed. Radiator flushed and
fluid replaced with proper HOAT radiator fluid. Transmission fluid
changed (no filter). No leaks. No dash warning lights. New spark
plugs. Power steering fluid changed. Rear differential properly
drained and oil changed. Sunroof works properly. Instrument panel
lights up properly & warning flashers work. Wiper blades replaced.
Very important: speedometer & trip odometer work properly,
reflecting original miles on the car. Please call or email us today
for more information.
The 300SE is an S-Class of the W126 range (1980-1991), a car that
many enthusiasts regard as the last of the classic
'over-engineered' Mercedes. Being a 1986 model, it is the first
year of the updated Series 2 model, which featured improved
engines. It does not have the interior upgrade, as that did not
happen until 1988. The 300SE was the entry-level S class in most
markets (including Australia), with the 260SE mostly focused on
markets with punitive taxes for engines over 2.8l.
