Description

Hi,

For sale is my Mercedes Benz 230E 1989. Honest example, it is not perfect. Plenty of work done to it. I have paperwork as well as a list of all other works done to it which can be email to you. Pictures show where the imperfections are.

Things that need work:
Parts of the body work.
Odometer is currently stuck.
Car locking system needs to be fixed.
Small leak in boot.
It has been welded underneath the boot.
Hinge on rear right door is broken.
Front left window does not roll down. Door card and everything is in the boot. (Needs a new window motor)

Mechanically bulletproof. All major work has been done to it.
Anyone who knows about these cars knows they are built to last.
Great example with a little bit of work makes for a great classic.
Private plate sold with it aswell.

Interior is in very good condition.

Bodywork. As stated could do with some work as shown in pictures.

Cheap car insurance.

Asking price is £4500

Please only serious buyers. Viewing available.

Built like a tank — genuine Mercedes-Benz engineering
The W124 earned its reputation for exceptional durability, with robust engines, tough gearboxes and famously solid construction. Well-maintained examples can cover very high mileages while remaining perfectly usable.

A proper modern classic without the crazy price tag
The W124 has crossed the line from “old car” into modern classic. Its understated, timeless design was penned by Bruno Sacco, and good examples are increasingly appreciated by enthusiasts.

The driving experience is something modern cars struggle to replicate
It’s quiet, comfortable and exceptionally composed. The W124 was engineered around refinement rather than gimmicks, with excellent suspension isolation and a relaxed long-distance character. You get that classic Mercedes “solid” feeling every time you drive it.

It has character — without being impractical
Unlike many classics, a W124 can still genuinely be used. It has a spacious cabin, excellent visibility, a large boot and relatively straightforward mechanicals. Many components are also serviceable without the specialist electronics and diagnostics associated with newer cars.

You’re buying a piece of Mercedes-Benz history
The W124 represents an era when Mercedes-Benz was renowned for over-engineering its cars. From the ordinary four-cylinder models right up to the legendary Porsche-developed 500E/ E500, the W124 range has become one of the marque's most respected generations.
