FAQ

This Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL in the European market

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

At €39,900, it sits below the median of €164,678 for the 272 Mercedes-Benz advertised in Europe in 2026. 6% 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 Hessisch Oldendorf, Germany. The dealer quotes it as: The W109 300 SEL of 1965 is the long-wheelbase saloon, 100 mm longer than the W108, with self-levelling air suspension as standard; Mercedes built 23,550 W109s in all until 1972, against 359,522 of the coil-sprung W108. 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 does the mileage of this Mercedes-Benz compare?

35,000 km recorded, against a median of 11,103 km across the Mercedes-Benz advertised in Europe in 2026. It is therefore among the higher-mileage cars currently listed. Service history and previous owners are not published on LUSSO and should be confirmed with the selling dealer.

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

a 1982 car in Italy at €39,900, and a 2018 car in Czechia at €39,939. 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 SEL, and how does a purchase work?

Exclusive Car Family, a professional dealer in Hessisch Oldendorf, 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 SEL be inspected before purchase?

The car is at Hessisch Oldendorf, 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: LUSSO does not publish these and cannot confirm them.

Is this Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL still available?

LUSSO republishes what the selling dealer advertises, and a car in demand is sometimes reserved or sold before the dealer updates its own site. Confirm current availability with Exclusive Car Family before travelling or committing funds. An enquiry sent from this page reaches that dealer directly.
