W202 C280 Brabus (SOLD), W211 E55 AMG
FS 1997 Mercedes C280

Up for sale is my beloved 1997 Mercedes c280 (w202) in brilliant Silver. It is one of the cleanest cars out on the market and to be honest has been cared for immensely. I absolutely love this car but it is time to let it go. It's got a clean title with 103,XXX original miles. It is my daily driver and gets great gas mileage. It's a very fun car to drive and has been well maintained. I'm very cautious and to the point that people think I have a paranoia over the well-being of the car. The car has always been garaged and is just immaculate.

Recent Maintenances:
-Brake Flush
-Steering Column Replacement
-Door Brake Replacement
-New Hankook Evo Ventus v12 tires all around bought in December
-Just passed smog test


It has the following upgrades:
-Renntech Performance Camshaft
-Brabus Monoblock IV
-H&R lowering springs
-Bilstein Shocks
-Lorinser Strut Brace
-Pioneer AVIC N1 Navi/DVD player
-JBL full speaker system
-Alpine MRD-F752 Amp
-JL Audio Sub bulbs
-Custom iPod Support Dock and bracket
-Brabus Front Bumper
-Brabus Brabus Sideskirts
-Brabus Rear Bumper
-Mercedes w202 LED Rear Spoiler
-Brabus badging (sides, hood, trunk, logo)
-Wheel Locks
-Brabus rear muffler
-Brabus Doorsills
-Brabus Accelerator, Brake, Park Brake, Left foot rest
-Brabus Shift knob and Shift Plate
-Phillips HID Conversion + 5k HID lowbeam headlights
-Phillips HID Conversion + 5k HID foglights
-Clear corners headlights
-Hella Smoked Tailights







































Please Note:
-The Pioneer CD player is not connected to the main head unit.
-Slight Curbage on the rims.
-There are some spec cracks on the front windshield but it's not even visible duirng daily driving
-There is 1 keymark on the passenger side door
-Other than that just normal wear in the body

Price to sell: $6800 or make me an offer.
This car runs strong and is a fun car to drive.
I have the Brembo bbk that can also be negotiated.

I will include the:

-AMG Grill/Original Grill (New Condition)
-Original Hella Redout Tailights (New Condition)
-Original Factory Radio Head Unit
-Original Camshaft
-An extra set of rear rotors
-Original Shocks and Springs for front/rears
in the purchase/trade.

Thanks, PM me or write if there are any questions.

I know I've seen this car before, probably from back in the Benzsport days!

202's never go out of style - good luck with the sale.

Smile Wow!

What an amazing car. I just bought a 97 C280 in that same color. I was wondering what suspension you put it in to make her sit like that....My suspension is pretty much had it after 145k miles, so I am looking to replace it, but not OEM. Good luck with the sale.

Thanks yeah I currently have H&R springs on it right now. I think the front and rear spring pads are taken out so it sits pretty low. I definitely don't have the H&R Race springs but I hear they are the lowest and stiffest (at least for BMW) because I'm more familiar with those. Good luck with finding one of your liking!

I love this car! I have a '97 C280 that I'm trying to give a custom body kit to, but I can't figure out where to get the stuff at. Can you tell me where you got your Brabus stuff from?

I am checking the status on the 97 C280 on the availability. Is it still available? May I contact you via phone to schedule for viewing? Please feel free to contact me on my cell at 415-680-8278.

thanks...
