This 1984 Mercedes-Benz 230CE was purchased new by the current owner in West Germany and subsequently imported into the US in 1986. The car is finished in Smoke Silver Metallic over Anthracite cloth and is powered by a 2.3-liter inline-four paired with a four-speed manual transmission. Features include Bundt-style wheels, a Blaupunkt cassette radio, and central locking. The seller states that the car was placed into storage in the 1990s, and service in May 2021 included changing the fluids, replacing the drive belts, and overhauling the brakes.
The car is finished in Smoke Silver Metallic (702) and features integrated fog lights and chrome bumpers, window trim, and mirrors.
14″ Bundt-style wheels feature Mercedes-Benz center caps and wear 195/70 Hankook Kinergy ST tires that were installed in May 2021. Additional service at that time included changing the front ball joint boots, flushing the brake fluid, and replacing brake hoses, rotors, and pads.
The cabin is upholstered in Anthracite cloth and features wood trim, central locking, dual-zone heater controls, an aftermarket Blaupunkt cassette stereo, and a heated rear window.
Instrumentation includes a 150-mph speedometer, a tachometer with a 6,000-rpm redline, and gauges for coolant temperature, fuel level, oil pressure, and fuel economy. European service records indicate 30k kilometers (~18k miles) in September 1986. The car was federalized in October 1986, and a November 1986 Nebraska VIN inspection lists 21k miles. The six-digit odometer shows 28k miles.
The 2.3-liter M102 inline-four features Bosch fuel injection and was factory rated at 134 horsepower and 151 lb-ft of torque. Service in May 2021 included changing the oil, coolant, and power steering fluid and replacing the drive belts and the fuel filter, fuel strainer, and fuel feed hose.
