Lovely choice of car… not the recent bring a trailer one? I wish I could help but I’m a UK based enthusiast but maybe others can help? February 5th, 2026 at 5:17pm ESTspyder360 (2) 2Thank you!! Thanks to @niklas32 for being an excellent caretaker of this machine! It will go great next to its sister car, a 1988 300E 3.2 AMG!!February 5th, 2026 at 4:13pm ESTOGAMG (10) 3@ubergruber @gsxr Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge with the rest of us! I just recently acquired 1990 3.4 AMG with 5-speed manual. Vehicle sat for a few years and can use tune up and some engine work potentially. Would you know of any shops on east coast US that have experience with these unicorns? Your feedback is highly appreciated February 5th, 2026 at 4:05pm ESTNiklas32 (20) Seller 4What an auction, congrats to @spyder360!!

I genuinely loved working on this car and enjoyed almost every second. And just to clarify: the wood trim is in fact refurbished, but I sourced a new shifter panel to replace the old one, as it was warped and not original anyways. As you said: finding burl wood trim (or any trim) for these cars is quite tricky if you actually care about matching color and condition. I am really glad this kind of detail is getting noticed and appreciated here.January 30th, 2026 at 2:39pm ESTMbeamdream (2) 1@Niklas32 You did good work on this car, dude. Lots of love an attention to detail. The most impressive thing to me is the burl wood sourcing. It is near impossible to find here in the Americas. I've been looking for replacement wood for my OM606 300GE for a while now with no luck. The only options were refurbishment. January 30th, 2026 at 2:34pm ESTNiklas32 (20) Seller 2@Mbeamdream Great deductive work! That is in fact my thread of the car. Please keep in mind that all information covers work that, in some cases, goes back almost three years. But everything you read in the thread and here on MBM did in fact happen and is part of this AMG´s journey. Also the listing here focuses primarily on the car as it sits today, on the 500E-Board thread I focused more on the mechanical side. I really appreciate you pointing it out and I encourage everyone to read the thread and maybe even ask some questions!January 30th, 2026 at 12:48pm ESTMbeamdream (2) 0Gents I found the rebuild thread on this car. Doesn't exactly jive with the mbMarket description but this young man put in a significant amount of work to get this car to the condition it is in. https://www.500eboard.co/forums/threads/niklas32-300e-3-2-amg.22039/January 30th, 2026 at 8:33am ESTOsku (0) 0@Niklas32 thanks, n Finland, there is coming car import taxation even if it is inside EU, but that is not much considering the age of this vehicle. Thanks! January 30th, 2026 at 8:22am ESTNiklas32 (20) Seller 1@Osku Hey, you can message me privetely and we can work out a shipping estimate. Shipping should be possible to anywhere in the world, just depends on the price. The car is registered in Germany, so since it´s all EU you shouldn´t have to pay any import taxes. A direct COC doesn´t exist, because the car is built for the Japanese market. This car is a bit special though, it has German EU-confirmity and is registered as normal W124. That should make it easy for the finnish Traficom to register the car, because they have to accept the German registration documents. If the buyer wishes, I can request a technical data sheet from the TÜV that should include all neccessary information.January 30th, 2026 at 7:33am ESTOsku (0) 0Is there coming original registration papers with 1-2 sides and COC document as well?
