****WILL NOT PASS SMOG**** ( I did this on purpose, V8 needs to be heard IMO. Has been quite for too long)
Runs, drives, idles, brakes, accelerates and rides nicely. Highway cruising machine. Gets up and goes. This is not your average w124. Hard to find. The power of the M119 V8 will keep you entertained and able to keep up with all the modern cars. The exhaust on this car is not quite, you will be heard coming, but can also be driven discreetly if needed. Your cold starts might dis-please a neigbor or two. A true sleeper. I bought this car in August 2019 from the second owner who had the car for a few months. He acquired the car from the original owner who purchased in Southern California in 1994. 100% rust free vehicle. I have receipts for the work I have done but I don’t have previous service records. Therefore the wire harness replacement is unknown. However I inspected the upper wire harness along the fuel rail and observed zero decomposition of the insulation around the wiring. To me the wire harness is in good condition with no deterioration visible. The AC works and blows cold and the heat blows hot, but I don’t think anything has ever been replaced, original.
The paint on this car looks great from 6 feet away, very reflective and shiny but upon closer inspection there is cracking on horizontal surfaces. Paint appears to be original. All the locks work all the windows go up and down, power mirrors and the sunroof works.
The bad-
Damage to the front bumper was caused by me in my driveway while the car was parked. I was moving my truck and the wheel side swiped the corner of the front bumper while I moving 1 to 2 miles an hour. Before that happened I had already purchased a used front and rear bumper. These used bumpers need to be painted but they don’t have any substantial damage as in dents, cracks or chips.
The spare tire is period correct, additional un-damaged front and rear bumpers will be included in the sale.
The right corner marker light is out but the turn signal works. One of the front fog lights is out. Wiper fluid tank needs a new lower hose or perhaps a whole new tank due to the wear in the plastic from Vegas heat. The coolant reserve tank sensor is out which triggers a dash light. (I have new part)
Wheels have curb rash here and there and the chrome shows it’s age in spots. These are real Lorinsers and their value alone near $1k. They balance true.
Front driver seat and center console has visible wear. Few cracks in wood trim around window controls. All other interior is great shape. Seems to be a single driver most it’s life. Backseats and passenger seat are barely used.
Original stereo head unit and speakers
Power antenna not working
6 disc changer not working
Tape player works. All speakers work.
I hate to see this car go as I’ve only owned it for a year and it really makes me happy. However the Vegas bartending industry (my skilled trade) is taking a dump and I need cash more than a second vehicle at the moment. Very sad to see this go. My loss your gain, come get your rare 4.2 V8. One of the last true Mercedes-Benz
I have original Owners Manual, books, and 1 key. MB dealership quoted me $120 for a key to be made..
Available for pick up in downtown Las Vegas, Nevada. CASH, silver or gold bouillon bars/coins accepted as payment.
Feel free to contact for any more details.
I will give full discretion on everything to my knowledge about this vehicle.
