82-85 W123 300D Turbo Original price tag

does anyone here bought the W123 turbo brand new off the dealer? how much did it cost you? or does anyone know the brand new tag price of these cars back then in the 80's? i heard that the 300TDT wagon is $30,000.00 to $36,000.00 what about the sedans and 2-door coupe? how true is it? can someone confirm this?

the W123 was mid class without the mediacracy or something like that... so basicly it was mid level pricing... 30-40k is the area and my year the 85 was being sold cheaper than the years before to make way for the next gen the W124...

Window price for my 82 TD was $32,800. I haven't got around to getting my 240's window sticker.

These cars were the pinacle of Mercedes development, engineering and construction. The next generation W124 were also excellent cars. Then in the late 80s Lexus came around and Mercedes started to cheapen things up in order to compete.

The CPI has doubled since 1986. A 1987 300TD went for around $42,000. If you doubled that a new E350T would go for $84,000, but I think you can get one for under $60,000.

Adjusting for inflation that is about 60K in 2005 $.

damn im one lucky SOB! i'm enjoying the honor and prestige of driving an MB where i only paid 2k on mine in mint cond. and already put about approx. 200+K miles on it and still in tip top shape. i ll be more than happy if she's still alive in the next 200 to 300 K miles which i'm sure she will with the way she's behaving right now!
