Description

The 1997 Mercedes-Benz S280 is a refined and composed luxury saloon that rewards relaxed driving. Its smooth 2.8-litre engine and automatic transmission deliver effortless progress and a serene, insulated ride. The long-wheelbase chassis soaks up motorway miles while maintaining confident stability, making it effortless on long journeys.

Inside, the navy leather and burred walnut trim create a timeless cabin that balances comfort with everyday practicality. Heated electric seats, generous storage and an expansive boot make longer trips easy, while classic Mercedes build quality offers durability and a reassuring driving experience—especially appealing in this very low-mileage example.
