Thank youSeptember 5th, 2024 at 10:58am EST$3,250 bid placed by @ckidd92September 5th, 2024 at 8:59am ESTJthomasson (15) Seller 0The auction ends today! I'll be around if there are any last minute questions. I should also add that of all of the vehicles I have auctioned, I have 100% sell rate - you can trust that you are getting a quality vehicle from me! Good luck bidders!September 5th, 2024 at 8:48am ESTJthomasson (15) Seller 0@pbfoot42 the spare is in good shape but appears to be the original spare tire.September 4th, 2024 at 11:38pm EST$3,000 bid placed by @VRMzeroSeptember 4th, 2024 at 12:26pm ESTJthomasson (15) Seller 0@pbfoot42 you are correct, there is some crazing on the paint on the sunroof. I will check the spare next time I am at the vehicle. If you would prefer to have new tires on the car for the drive home, you can have tires shipped to us and we will mount and balance them for you at no charge. If my husband and I were in your position, we would not hesitate to drive it home; that said, I obviously cannot make any guarantees as it is a 31 year old car and anything can happen!September 4th, 2024 at 12:17pm ESTpbfoot42 (0) 0Maybe it's my imagination, but the walkaround video seems to show some paint crazing or cracking on the exterior of the sunroof panel. Can you address this? Also, do you feel the buyer should feel comfortable driving the car a couple thousand miles home upon purchase? What condition is the spare tire in, should one of those 14-year-old tires decide to come apart? Thank you for all of your prompt answers!September 3rd, 2024 at 8:55pm ESTJthomasson (15) Seller 0@Static50 yes the cruise control works!

September 1st, 2024 at 10:20am ESTJthomasson (15) Seller 1@pbfoot42 the tires are dated 2010 but are in really nice shape. I know the gauge cluster spots are common in W124s but I asked a friend who repairs gauge clusters and this is what he said: Those are a chemical reaction caused from age, heat, and humidity. They most commonly affect the W201, W124, and W126 chassis due to the type of porous plastics that Mercedes-Benz used at that time. The dash is one of the most heated up areas in the interior of these cars and the design of these clusters didn't allow for trapped air and humidity to breath out of the housing; thus causing them to start developing these “pits or spores”. They can be cleaned. I’ll get a closer look at the spot in photo 22, it might just be tire shine. I’ll be able to get my eyes on the car in about an hour. The pinstriping is painted on. The windows are tinted and the streaks you are seeing are in the tint on the door windows. September 1st, 2024 at 9:50am ESTpbfoot42 (0) 0Thanks for your reply. A few more questions: What is the date code on the tires? In photo 38, the gauge cluster seems to have some sort of damage to the black plastic, almost like it has been partially melted? In photo 22, is that mud splattered behind the front tire, or is there some paint chip repair that has been done there? Is the pinstriping on the car painted on, or is it vinyl stickers? Some vertical lines are visible on the windows in photos 27 and 31. Are those scratches in the window or window tint (and can you confirm whether there is tint film applied to the windows)? Thank you August 31st, 2024 at 9:44pm ESTJthomasson (15) Seller 1@pbfoot42 we purchased this car from an estate so we do not have much maintenance history on it, all I can say is that it runs and drives perfectly and does not currently have any issues or needs.August 31st, 2024 at 9:24pm ESTpbfoot42 (0) 0Can you elaborate on whether this car has suffered from model-typical issues such as needing a replacement wiring harness and/or head gasket?August 30th, 2024 at 12:16am EST$1,550 bid placed by @ziyadAugust 29th, 2024 at 2:16pm EST$1,300 bid placed by @VRMzeroAugust 29th, 2024 at 1:41pm ESTJthomasson (15) Seller 1Welcome to the auction of my 1993 300CE! This is a super clean example, no rust and overall in very nice shape. It runs and drives beautifully! You would never know this car has 133k miles on it, it has obviously been well cared for. My husband and I have owned 25+ older Mercedes and the 124 chassis is one of our favorites. We also own an E320 convertible and a 300TE, which has 198k miles and is the best driving car we have eve
