Car is sold. Thanks!
Hello Everyone,

Offering our last 124 for sale. This car has been my wife's daily transportation since the spring of 2003. It has been by far the best car she has ever owned. Please read the entire ad.

Here are the particulars:

Price: $1,500

Description:
1993 300E 2.8.
162K miles.
Arctic White exterior with grey rocker covers
Grey leather interior

Texas car from new. Three owners. Complete books and records. Maintenance performed by the book and up to date.

The car is very clean. Good paint all around. No real accidents. The passenger rear quarter and trunk were painted after two seperate dent-and-run episodes - both in 2010. Interior is equally clean. No rips or tears in the upholstery and no cracks in the dash.

The car runs and drives very well. The engine pulls smoothly and the transmission shifts crisply. There are no funny noises and no odd vibrations. Tires are matching Michelin Primacy MXV4 all around. The power accessories all work - windows, central locking, seats, steering column, sunroof. The old Becker radio has been replaced by a Sony headunit with AM/FM, CD, iPod, and USB inputs. Wired into the factory Aktiv Bazz system, it sounds surprisingly good.

Maintenance and repair over the years includes the following:
- Head gasket
- Wiring harness
- Front suspension rebuild: lower control arms, bushings, ball joints, struts
- Rear shock absorbers
- Tie rods, drag link, steering shock
- Front pads & rotors
- All coolant hoses, reservoir, thermostat, and cap
- Water pump, belt tensioner, fan bearing bracket, serpentine belt
- MAF, O2 sensor, plug wires, and connectors
- Flexible brake lines

We wanted the car to run well and not break down, so were very proactive in maintaining and repairing it.

The car does have some issues. In the interest of full disclosure they are listed below:
- The engine leaks a little oil. Not enough that I've had to add any between services. The leak appears to originate at the drivers' side rear of the engine. I do think it is the head gasket.
- The air conditioning is losing refrigerant. A full charge is lasting about a year. I do not know where the leak is located. The a/c does work fine otherwise.
- The power antenna isn't power at the moment. It can be repaired.
- The headliner is sagging a bit, mostly in the back seat area.
- The hood pad is mostly missing.

That said, I don't think it is possible to buy a car that looks this good or drives this good at double the price I am asking.

A few pictures:

That car really is very very pretty. I just love w124's

That photoshop of the antenna is nice lol.

Uh, don't know what you are talking about here. Those are unretouched photos taken within the last hour or so. I don't own or even know how to use photoshop.

I missed out on it. My sister was on her way to his house.
Certainly not going to find another one like that at that price.
