1965 Mercedes-Benz 300 SE Coupé for Sale in Germany

This 1965 Mercedes-Benz 300 SE Coupé is a used car showing 68,838 km. It is powered by a 2,975 cm³ petrol engine rated at 170 PS (125 kW). It is equipped with a manual transmission. The car is finished in Brown (DB 460) with a Brown interior. It is a 5-seat car and has had 4 previous owners.

Unrestored and still partly in its first paint, this 300 SE Coupé keeps matching numbers and its original colour, and pairs the manual gearbox with the rare central floor lever that buyers seek out. The original invoice from new comes with it, and the low mileage can be traced through the service book, a logbook filled in by hand and a long series of TÜV reports.

It was delivered new in Belgium, where its first owner kept it for 15 years, and went to the Netherlands in 1980. The current owner bought it in 1987, third-hand, with 53,924 km, and has added only about 15,000 km in almost 40 years, with service invoices and every TÜV report on file. It now wears a German H plate.

The car is located in Düsseldorf, Germany.

FAQ

This Mercedes-Benz 300 SE in the European market

Is this Mercedes-Benz priced above or below the European market?

At €85,000, it sits below the median of €134,370 for the 481 Mercedes-Benz advertised in Europe in 2026. 32% of them are advertised for less. Asking prices are not transaction prices, and specification differences explain much of the spread.

Can this Mercedes-Benz be bought in Germany and registered elsewhere in Europe?

The car is located in Düsseldorf, Germany. The dealer quotes it as: VAT included and not reclaimable: sold under the margin scheme. Cross-border purchase is normal for this kind of car, but the documentation, the certificate of conformity, transport and the registration rules of the destination country all have to be settled with the selling dealer first.

How much did this Mercedes-Benz 300 SE cost new?

The manufacturer's base list price was €16,029 in Germany, excluding options. This car is advertised at €85,000, 430% above that figure. A list price is the launch price of the version without options, so a heavily specified car left the factory above it, and it says nothing about what the car is worth today. That 1963 list price is converted to euros with no adjustment for inflation.

How does the mileage of this Mercedes-Benz compare?

68,838 km recorded, against a median of 19,000 km across the Mercedes-Benz advertised in Europe in 2026. It is therefore among the higher-mileage cars currently listed. Service records and ownership details should be checked against the documents held by the selling dealer.

Which other Mercedes-Benz are priced closest to this one?

a 2024 car in Germany at €83,950, and a 2026 car in Germany at €83,950. Observed in 2026. Comparing them means putting model year, mileage, factory options and the VAT basis side by side before the price itself.

Who is selling this Mercedes-Benz 300 SE, and how does a purchase work?

Movendi, a professional dealer in Düsseldorf, Germany. LUSSO lists the car and passes enquiries to that dealer; the inspection, the negotiation, the invoice and the transfer of ownership all take place directly between the buyer and the dealer. LUSSO does not hold stock, take deposits or act as an intermediary in payment.

Can this Mercedes-Benz 300 SE be inspected before purchase?

The car is at Düsseldorf, Germany, and an inspection is arranged with the selling dealer. Buyers based in another country commonly appoint an independent inspector or a marque specialist rather than travel. Ask the dealer for the service record, the number of previous owners and any accident history, with supporting documents for the information stated in the listing.
