Condition Notes:
The car is in truly excellent condition for its age, both cosmetically and mechanically. The bodywork is straight, the interior is clean and well cared-for, and it drives as a W124 should—solid and composed.
The car is 32 years old so does have a couple minor flaws to note: the driver’s seat bolster has been previously caught on something sharp. This is not typical wear and tear and would benefit from a simple cosmetic repair. It does not affect comfort or usability. The drivers side rear arch has some bubbling under the paint.

Why I’m Selling:
I am a lifelong Mercedes enthusiast and previous owner of several W124s and W201s. Unfortunately, I’m now out of space and have to make room.
I’m also selling a 1990 Mercedes 190E 2. 6 with 91k miles.
I’m confident the first serious viewer will buy—this is a proper example of a fast-appreciating classic.
