Thanks. I got it just a couple of months ago. When I got it, the tie rods, engine and subframe mounts, and the steering coupler were all shot. In fact, the steering coupler was almost non-existent. So it drove kind of rough. I have since replaced them. And now the car drives beautifully. This is my first "classic", so I did not know what to expect. Now I'm just amazed at how nice the car drives. It's got plenty of power, it drives perfectly straight, and the brakes don't seem like 40 year-old technology. The fun factor for the 280 SEL, for me, is definitely much higher than that for the GL550.
