Seller’s notes about this car

1997 Mercedes Benz C280, Handsomely finished in Smoke Silver over mushroom leather and has but only 57,000 miles! YES, ONLY 57,000 miles! Purchased new in California by its original owner who later fell into ill health where his brother purchased the car as a remembrance of him only to rarely drive it as the miles clearly show. Equipped with: CD changer Actual leather (not MB Tex) Glass moon roofThis car hasn't ever been damaged, never smoked in, never abused, all the complete books are nestled in the glove box, the tools have yet to be used, the spare tire hasn't seen the light of day, and this car has multiple keys to top it all off. A true time capsule if ever there was to be one and best of all this car was built when a Mercedes Benz was built like a Mercedes Benz! Treated to both new tires and new brakes to make the next curator feel at ease! A ton of respectable car for less than the price of an overused Camry!!
Blizzard Motors has served Portland Oregon and its outlying areas since 1993. Since then we have intended to stay small and put the client first rather than those you may find where "volume" and "numbers" are the dealers only goal. Our clients are our future, and our future looks GREAT!! We invite you to come experience our personal service and great selection of hand picked European marques.
