Mercedes GE280 :
This magnificent Class GE280 is in very good condition throughout. Mechanical renovation and meticulous maintenance have been carried out over the years. Equipped with an in-line 6-cylinder engine, it is Matching Number engine/Chassis. Electronic fuel injection, Tropical configuration.
Completely original vehicle with no modifications. The paintwork is original, as is 80% of the interior (only a few parts such as the front seats have been changed). The original interior is made of MBTEX vinyl, which is very easy to maintain. No trace of even the slightest corrosion.
Very reliable, it was my main vehicle for many years in Costa Rica.
Licence for 7 people
Air conditioning completely renovated
The front and rear differential locks are out of order. As I don't use it for cross-country driving, this hasn't been a problem for me. On the other hand, the transfer case is brand new and shifting between long and short 4x4s is optimal.
I've owned this vehicle for over 10 years. I'm the second owner. I bought it when I was living in Costa Rica and repatriated it 4 years ago (collector's registration).
The interior/exterior colour combination makes it a fairly rare model, and it was even taken back a few months ago to celebrate the 500,000 units leaving the factory.
