The W124 chassis wagon is rare and becoming rarer with each passing year. This is the last of the over-engineered hand built E-class Mercedes. According to Haggerty, he 300TE is one of the 5 classics you should buy today. “…nothing whispered “old money” more than a Mercedes-Benz wagon. The 124-chassis cars were expensive heirloom-quality cars at a time that Lexus and Infinity were redefining the luxury class and changing customer expectations about value.“ The price of this car in 1992 (approx. $65,000) is over $110K in today’s dollars.

This color is exceptionally rare (exterior code: 888; interior code:265)

This has not been smoked in

A/C has been converted to R134a refrigerant (previous owner)

Most W124s had the MBtex (vinyl) interiors rather than leather.

Most are higher mileage examples

Most have had their 4matic systems disabled rather than properly maintained

Most have had the SLS replaced with an aftermarket standard suspension. The 4 matic works well and is extremely capable. I treated the underbody with Fluid Film (a lanolin based anti corrosion system) and drove it through the Minnesota winter. It is a fantastic winter car. The SLS system is intact and the ride is wonderful.

The clear coat on the roof and the topmost portion of the hatch has been coming off. It was like this when I bought the car and had I kept it I would have had it resprayed.

There are various small chips and scratches on the otherwise very nice paint

The bumpers have evidence of some small traumatic events from before I bought the car. All of the above is noted in the photos.

There was a small amount of rust in the spring seat of the left front side which we removed and treated with the Miracle System from MercedesSource (a wonderful source of parts and information) and then coated with commercial truck bed liner (several coats of each). There is a photo of this area as well

The rear subframe had a damaged mounting point where one link connected. When the subframe was out for the rear suspension/bushing work, e repaired and painted that area, nd also sanded and coated it with POR 15 (several coats). The window tint has been scratched on the passenger window and scuffed on the hatch window.Otherwise, he body of this car is remarkable for its age.
