I've always wanted an older Mercedes. Hopefully this one won't give me too much trouble. =]August 16th, 2022 at 6:00pm ESTgsxr (105) 0Congrats @Mpysh! Rare color combo here, very few Smoke Silver cars have black interior. Interesting that the seats were replaced at some point, originally leather, now MB-Tex. Great deal too!August 16th, 2022 at 5:57pm ESTihorMB (5) 0Waw. Great price August 16th, 2022 at 5:52pm ESTStatic50 (145) 1I sure was tempted. Not enough room though.

The shocks are a little tired, you notice it around 80mph it gets a little floaty. I purchased from Atlanta and drove straight shot with no problems. Tires are good, brakes are good, pads are getting low but nothing bad. I haven’t had it in any stop and go traffic, but I’ve never had any cooling issues. I’d say just the usual 36 year old car things, and look over everything as you go, check the oil, watch temps, etc. But I haven’t had any issues.

AS FAR AS YOU KNOW, could it be driven from Illinois to New Orleans?August 16th, 2022 at 1:06pm EST$3,500 bid placed by @Erald24August 16th, 2022 at 1:05pm EST$3,159 bid placed by @Stuttgart_SteelAugust 16th, 2022 at 12:34pm ESTthembmarket (691) 0Photos showing close-up shots of the wheels have been added to the gallery.August 15th, 2022 at 7:29pm EST$2,909 bid placed by @Erald24August 15th, 2022 at 6:53pm EST$2,659 bid placed by @ihorMBAugust 12th, 2022 at 2:28pm EST$2,251 bid placed by @Erald24August 12th, 2022 at 12:17pm EST$2,001 bid placed by @danieladaoAugust 11th, 2022 at 3:27pm EST$1,750 bid placed by @Erald24August 11th, 2022 at 1:20pm ESTHodag (3) Seller 0@elie7elie no, I believe that started in 1992-1996ishAugust 11th, 2022 at 1:19pm ESTHodag (3) Seller 0@elie7elie Hello! Yes, it was converted May of 2004. Blows cold! August 11th, 2022 at 12:50pm ESTelie7elie (3) 1Also, has the AC been converted from R12 to 134a and does it blow cold? By the way does anyone know what year Mercedes started putting 134a in the W124?August 11th, 2022 at 12:46pm ESTelie7elie (3) 1Is it the engine harness on these that is made from biodegradable material I think?

To everyone bidding, please bid accordingly. August 8th, 2022 at 1:50pm ESTKevinbriem (38) 0Wow, even have the previous owner involved here. Nice! Thanks for the timely response. August 8th, 2022 at 1:06pm ESTNsmith95 (2) 2@Kevinbriem hello, 2nd owner here following the first and original owner. The fuel system work consisted of all 6 new fuel injectiors and seals, fuel pump relay and fuel accumulator. I also did a transmission service, coolant and brake flush. Along with the distributor cap and rotor. The receipts should still be with the rest of the service history. As for the oil leak, I had a 45 year MB master certified technician diagnose the leak as the headgasket around where the oil drains from the cylinder head to the engine block. Also the front timing cover was leaking a little bit. I'd also like to touch on the mileage. When I sold the car to the 3rd owner, the one listed on the carfax as being in Indiana, the car had roughly 129k miles. The gentleman who bought it is known in the area to roll back odometers. The first time he was selling the car he listed it as having 70k miles. The 2nd and last listing was with around 123k miles. If I was to estimate the current mileage, I'd guess around 130-135k. That being said the car is still a exceptionally clean example of a w124. And to whomever purchases will be extremely pleased. I do also still have the original wheels if the buyer would like them. August 8th, 2022 at 10:54am ESTHodag (3) Seller 0@Kevinbriem Hello, and thanks for reaching out! Absolutely zero rust, surprisingly this car came from around this area leading back to Indiana and Ohio I believe. It seems as this was never driven in the rain! The quick turnaround in selling is due to me moving states, and can’t take it with me. The fuel system work was from a previous owner, I was told the Fuel Pump relay and Fuel Accumulator were replaced, appears so. I pulled an injector out and they also appear to have been done at some point. I did spray some parts of the undercarriage with some Wurth Fluid Film when purchased, to help keep that frame clean. However there is some oil that does appear to leave a drop or two coming from somewhere. I did the valve cover gasket, but still haven’t been able to pinpoint it. Move date is approaching and haven’t been able to touch this car in a while due to work. Thanks! August 8th, 2022 at 10:38am ESTKevinbriem (38) 0Looks pretty nice and interesting color combo. Almost zero rust, which leads me to believe it's not originally from Illinois. The valve cover still has factory finish! A couple quick questions. Why the quick turnaround on selling. There was mention of extensive fuel system work. Any specifics and when wo
