You're going to be hard put to find one. Few, if any, were imported as they weren't desirable. I've seen a few euro 5spd wagons/230/260Es in Canada, but importing can be a *****. I've also a few 90's American 190E 2.3/2.6 5spds here.

What are your needs/what are your plans for the car? Do you need it for the tranny or as a driver? If you're looking for a driver, the best you'll probably do is trying to get one federalized in from canada. If you're looking for a '90's 5spd for a build you might try an early 90's 190E (for a regular duty 5spd) or a 300SL (for a Getrag).

Good Luck.

Currently mine 1992 124.026 is working hard.
Few coin sized rust spots (Canadian EH), no major issues.
M103 is just over 310 K km - questionable donor.

looking for a next toy.
Requirements:
1.summer daily city commuter
2.at least once a month Toronto - Chicago
3.Weekend fun car with kids

(must have four seats - is it 380SL?)

What are the advantages of GERTRAC?

300SL is an R129 convertible. Strictly 2-seater.

Getrag is the higher performance (or 'sportier') transmission. It came in the 16v's & 300SL's mostly.

You shouldn't have too much trouble finding a w124 stick up in Canada. All of us down here in the states are stuck with the auto's.

Canada has the same market conditions as US. No manuals E were on MBs price list since 1988.

Blame the consumers.
Thanks for the en light on GETRAC.

I am looking for people who has experience bringing cars to North America from Europe. Canada has some of-leash regulations for 15-years and older cars.

Does it worth it ?

As far as importing into canada, if its 15 years or older its pretty easy to get it in,

Ive done the math, as I was going to import some G-Wagens. Its $1600 to cross the pond, then about $1000 to get from halifax to Ontario.

So the price of the car just jumped $2600, now when you factor in the risk factor for buying a car without seeing it or flying over to check it out, add $1000.

Now it gets worse, The Euro is pretty high relative to US/CAD right now, so its even less favorable, in fact some people in europe are importing cars from us...

Keep watching the market, and have your cash ready, I have seen 5 5speed 300 Es for sale in the past year. I even saw a 5spd 300 CE,

I had this gray market 86 230E a few years ago that was a 4-spd.




Right now I have a 95 W140 with a 5-speed.
