1982 Mercedes-Benz 380 SE W126 (Automatic / 4 Gears) RWD [1979-1985]

Summary

Experts rate the 380 SE as one of the most balanced models of the era, where the relatively low weight of the aluminum V8 engine contributes in a more precise direction. According to ProfessCars™ estimates, the performance is solid with a 0-100 km/h acceleration in 8.7 seconds and a top speed of 208 km/h. Although consumption in the city can be high, on open roads the car shows the efficiency of German engineering with a combined consumption of 13.0 L/100km. The starting price in 1980 for this model was around 47,900 Deutsche Mark (approx. €24,500). Today, this variant is highly sought after by collectors seeking the prestige of a classic Mercedes V8 with maintenance costs more reasonable than the 500 or 560 models.
