Mercedes 280SE 4.5 Priced High and Built for Performance
The Mercedes-Benz 280SE 4.5 costs nearly ten thousand dollars, about three times the average car, with imports taxes likely widening the gap. It features an overhead cam V-8, electronic fuel injection, a three-speed auto with manual option, advanced suspension, four power-assisted disc brakes, air conditioning, electric windows, and a central locking system. Also offered are the longer 280SEL 4.5 and the air-suspended 300SEL 4.5, with limited U.S. sales this year.
