Wonder if you could call 1-800 FOR MERCEDES and get the window sticker for it?

That would not work, they only have them for US spec cars sold at US dealers.

They might have a lead on it though. Especially if you can find someone who spole English at the Mercedes Benz historical archives in Stuttgart, and probably someone does, it is common in Germany as children learn many languages in school.

The price would be in 1985 Deutschmarks at the time. You would then have to look up the US to DM exchange rate at that time....that would not be hard.

Likely a determined Internet search could parse that information out also.

I will go take a look for you.^^^^


This car was a gray market car, the W123 200d was never sold at Mercedes Benz dealers in USA; and fewer yet were imported here, because the savings on gray market cars were the highest with the high end Mercedes cars, like the SEC and SEL.

For 1985, according to this, the W123 200d was already out of production in Germany

The 200d Dieselmotor W124 limousine (sedan in the USA) was priced at DM 32,604 in October 1984

These were like Stuttgart taxicabs.

The last W123 200d limousine was sold in 1984. The price was DM 28,887.60

Them you would have to add to that, the option prices on the particular car you are looking at. They are here also.

Isn't the internet and your Mercedesshop Diesel heads great?

I will leave it to someone else to find the answer to what the US= DM exchange rate was for 1984.

I do know of a brand new '84 500SEC lapis blue gray market car brought to California. The gray market importer paid the equivalent of $40,000 for it out of Germany directly.
(late edit:^^^ They cost about 88,464 DM new in Germany)
