March 10th, 2023 at 7:44pm ESTKevinbriem (38) Seller 0@MBZW202, I have a high mileage 2006 e350 4matic that probably isnt a candidate for auction, but has good bones. Hit the contact seller button. March 10th, 2023 at 3:06pm ESTKevinbriem (38) Seller 0MBZW202...it did fall through. No reply from winner. Reached out to the next high bidder and its going to the east coast. Too bad, it would have been nice to kept it local, but the 4matic may be of more use out there. Thanks for checking in.

March 9th, 2023 at 9:59am ESTKevinbriem (38) Seller 1Yes, but no real conversation. Keep my email handy.March 9th, 2023 at 9:03am ESTSmyth (2) 0I assume your buyer reached out…March 8th, 2023 at 8:31pm ESTSmyth (2) 0Strange…March 8th, 2023 at 8:16pm ESTKevinbriem (38) Seller 0@Smyth , you may be in luck. No word from the buyer. March 8th, 2023 at 8:10pm ESTSmyth (2) 0I may have missed a big opportunity, as I am local to the car as well. No shipping costs!March 8th, 2023 at 6:02pm ESTKevinbriem (38) Seller 1@gsxr, thats good info, being somewhat unfamiliar with the early 4matics as well. Secondly, all your comments on the varios platforms are informative and respected. CheersMarch 8th, 2023 at 5:52pm ESTgsxr (105) 0@Smyth, the first 4MATIC models were known for issues with the transfer case. I don't know details, never owned one, and forget what I've read about them in the past. From memory, once repaired they can be pretty reliable. Google for details. This particular low-mile car sold for below market value IMO - congrats, @Ref4Lyfe! All I can guess is the bumper/cladding color mismatch didn't help, and it has no options (i.e., no heated seats, etc). This is a lot of (AWD!) car for $4500. If it were local to me, I'd have been awfully tempted...March 8th, 2023 at 5:34pm ESTKevinbriem (38) Seller [email protected] still scratching my head. I saw an 89 non 4matic with higher mileage go for 7k. If i didnt need the room, there would be no way I'd let go for what i did. Like I said, deal of the century.March 8th, 2023 at 5:28pm ESTSmyth (2) 0For the uninformed, why did this go so low? Is there something a layman wouldn’t know? Like, is a 4matic not desirable? The minor imperfections? March 8th, 2023 at 5:21pm ESTKevinbriem (38) Seller 1Ok friends, the reserve is lifted. Someone is getting the deal of the century here.March 8th, 2023 at 5:13pm EST$4,250 bid placed by @Ref4LyfeMarch 8th, 2023 at 9:14am ESTKevinbriem (38) Seller 0@124guy, I was surprised when I first saw it. Never had seen a 4matic 124 until then. As you mentioned., it would serve someone well who sees inclement weather. With the heavy rain here last month, it felt solid as a rock on the freeway. March 8th, 2023 at 1:02am EST124guy (106) 0Pretty rare to see these as 4matics today! Perfect for those who can't make do with a RWD only.March 7th, 2023 at 9:23pm EST$4,000 bid placed by @Bankrep40March 7th, 2023 at 9:01pm EST$3,750 bid placed by @darobinson01March 7th, 2023 at 3:45pm EST$3,500 bid placed by @SalishMarch 6th, 2023 at 11:48pm ESTKevinbriem (38) Seller 0@MBZW202, water pump was on the list when doing the head. Couldn't get the inverted pulley off without the belt attached, so i passed in essence of time. Factory pump comes with the car. Flex discs were inspected and deemed worthy. Factory replacement front disc comes with car. New front rotors and pads. New rear pads come with car. Fluid was flushed. Transmission filter and exchange were both performed. Frankly, i could have skipped the front axle boots because they are a PITA, but as mentioned, my intention was to drive the car. Other than some cosmetic flaws, I would be hard pressed to think of anything on the mechanical side that needs attention.

It didnt come to me with much in regards to maintenance records. I did some digging and it appears to have been mostly owned by an Apple executive up in San Jose. It was subsequently relocated to Southern California with two tltle changes. The most recent owner decided to part ways with it after getting a quote on a head gasket and front axle boots. My original intent was to make this my daily driver. With that in mind, it seemed wise to replace numerous parts while the top end was removed. Most items weren't miles related, but more due to age. All obvious seals, hoses and gaskets were refreshed. Many parts were fine, but as a pilot, preventive maintenance coexists with peace of mind. Possible future service might be the fuel filter, pump and accumulator. A replacement accumulator is included. Also, the car came with a non-op aftermarket radio. I purchased a refurbished Becker unit but procrastinated in getting it hooked up. Some quick compression numbers of before and after the replacing the cylinder head... Prior: 171,169, 157, 157, 165, 155 After: 181, 178, 175, 176, 178, 180 So needless to say, the engine is rock solid and the transmission shifts factory smooth. Aside from from the few flaws as mentioned and seen in the photos, the car is in superior condition. My only real complaint is the pitting on the inside of chrome rims. I bought relatively new anodized as a replacement and can come with the ca
