About this car

This 1972 280SE 4.5 is offered on eBay by sunlightmeister in Providence, RI. The asking price is $20,500. The car is finished in White over Black, an automatic gearbox. The odometer shows 65,336 miles. The eBay title does not name the model; the car's VIN identifies it as a 280SE 4.5. On a W108, rust in the sills, floor pans and around the front crossmember is the main thing to check.

What the photos show

Gallery is padded with an exact duplicate: the front view appears twice in the sampled photos — it proves nothing twice and costs nothing.
White paint is glossy and straight on all four sides, with the 280SE and 4.5 badges in place at the rear — no repaint bill showing.
Chrome grille, bumpers and trim are bright and shiny — no rechrome money needed on what is shown.
Black seats front and rear look excellent, clean and unripped — no need to reupholster.
Dash and wood are clean and glossy, carpets look fresh — no dash or wood bill visible.
Engine bay is dusty with corrosion bloom on the valve covers and a dirty washer tank — budget a detail and service, not a rebuild, from what is shown.
Painted hubcaps have rust specks on the trim rings and there is peeling and rust at a front wheel arch and a sill edge — budget small rust repairs, not just polish.
Tyres have deep tread in the close wheel shot — no immediate tyre bill shown.
Last photos show the original radio and speaker covers removed and lying with the manuals and paperwork — budget refitting time, and check the radio works before valuing it.
Can't judge the underside — no underside photos in the sampled gallery, so floor and sill rust underneath is unproven.

Money: At $20,500 the glossy paint, bright chrome and excellent black cabin support the ask, but chip a little for the arch and sill rust spots and the loose radio until the underside is checked.
