Been looking and have seen some as low as $5500 for a 92 to as much as 7200 for a nice low milage 93. Anyone else been looking? What are the asking and going prices? Any non-typical W124 problems to look out for? How are the trannys holding up? Etc? Thanks! Clip

Just bought a 92 400e, 97K mi, new Yokos, very clean, CD changer, sheepskins, etc. for $5500 on eBay.

I have a 90 300e that my wife has been commuting in for 2 years. She loves the car, except for fast merging onto the freeway. She called this morning and said she punched it merging onto the freeway (the 400e) and lit up the tires. No more complaints about being underpowered!

I got 25 mpg pushing it pretty hard from Albuquerque to Phoenix last week.

What a car!

Bump...

Any ideas on price ranges? I'm looking at a 92 400E that has 129,000 miles and just had the following done:

new Bosch alternator, new radiator, power steering pump, new valve cover gaskets, new grille, replaced high pressure hose for transmission, new battery, replaced 1 headlight. Air conditioner refurbished and auto climate control.

They want $5295. Seems a bit high but they did just put some money into the car.

I wonder what "refurbished" means for the A/C system ? If they put a new evaporator in it, I would say buy it. If not, that can be a very costly repair, even if you do it yourself.

How long should evaporators last in the 400E's? I guess it depends on how much the A/C was used but it there a mileage range for something like that? What is that a ~$1500 job or so?

$5500-6500 here for clean ones. Some with records, others without. Most are kept up well. There's a nice black one here hiding at the back of a lot I found for $6300 that's black on black, it's a 1992 with about 142k

Hope it helps.

Thanks! that's my price range. I'm willing to go a little higher for the right car. My only problem is going to be finding one somewhat local.
