If you've ever wanted to own an iconic and classic W124 Estate, here's your chance. This 1991 Mercedes Benz300TE has been extremely well maintained and is a beautiful example of the classic Black on Palomino color combination found in so many iconic 300E's.
This car is mostly original, from the paint to the interior and is in extremely good condition for its 26 year age. It spent some of its life in California and the entire time it has been in Illinois it has been either been garaged or stored. It doesn't look like it has ever seen snow. No rust on the body and minimal surface rust on the undercarriage. Paint is original and still shines brightbut has some surface scratches and minor blemishes. The body is straight and in great condition aside from a few small surface dings on the tailgate and roof.
Interior is 100% original and in great condition. MB-Tex seats look new and there are no cracks anywhere in the upholstery. The burl wood trim and dash panels have some cracks in the clear-coat, which is common in all these cars. The interior B-Pillars could use a reupholstery job to make the interior nearly perfect. Orginalradio was replaced before I purchased the vehicle.
I purchased this car as a 3rd vehicle in early 2014 and since then have only driven it 1100 miles, usually for a Coffee and Classics or ashort weekend get-away. All power windows, moonroof locks, and heated seats work. That being said I have replaced or repaired many of the major mechanical parts that were due for maintenance, all with genuine Mercedes Benz OEM components and have all receipts from while I have owned the car totaling $4206.95 for parts and labor.
