This 1989 Mercedes-Benz 260E shows registration history in Florida beginning with the first entry on the Carfax in September 2000. Finished in Arctic White (147) over Red MB-Tex (177), power is provided by a naturally aspirated 2.6-liter inline-6 paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. Features include a power sliding and tilting sunroof, front and rear power windows, an Alpine head unit, automatic climate control with air conditioning, and cruise control. Recent service within the last month includes an inspection, oil service, and new vacuum hoses. This W124 is now offered by the selling dealer in Florida with 102k miles on the odometer, 1 key, a Carfax report, and a clean Florida title.
The body is finished in Arctic White (147) with charcoal-colored bumper covers, side trim, and rear view mirrors. The exterior features US-spec lighting, headlamp wipers, fog lights, and a power antenna. The Carfax report shows a minor accident in 2000 and 2024, both of which are classified as minor on the report. The 2024 incident was reported when the car was being transported and the transporter filed a report on the trailer which was carrying this car. No damage or impact was done to the car. The seller notes the front bumper shows a scuff on the right corner and no rust anywhere on the body.
Silver painted 15″ Gullideckel wheels wear Falken Sincera tires measuring 195/65 all around with 2020 date codes. Braking is provided by disc brakes on all four corners. A full size spare is located beneath the trunk floor along with the original tool kit.
The cabin is trimmed in Red MB-Tex (177) across the dashboard, door cards, seats, armrests, and rear deck. Zebrano wood trim accents the center console and dashboard. Factory amenities include automatic climate control, power front and rear windows, an electric sunroof with tilt function, cruise control, and an aftermarket Alpine head unit.
The black steering wheel houses a driver’s airbag and frames a 160mph speedometer, 7k-rpm tachometer with an analog inset clock, and auxiliary gauges for fuel level, oil pressure, coolant temperature, and vacuum-actuated instant economy. The six-digit odometer shows only 102k miles.
The 2.6-liter SOHC M103 inline-6 was rated at 164 horsepower and 168 lb-ft of torque when new. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed automatic transmission. In September 2024, the car received a full inspection, oil service, and new vacuum lines in preparation for the sale.
The accompanying Carfax lists linear mileage updates and registration history exclusively in Florida since first entry in September 2000. This example is now offered with 102k miles on the odometer, one key, a Carfax report, and a clean Florida title.

@Bad_Idea_Dante There is no TAPE...
@Bad_Idea_Dante @masinos65 Great eye - I didn't catch that. This car got me excited, but too many unanswered questions.
I'd love to bid on this car, but the sheer volume of unanswered questions below gives me great pause.
@masinos65 - In photo 21/51, does there happen to be a piece of electrical tape over the warning lights? In 124's it's common for these lights to be tough to turn off even after fixing the associated issue, and folks will tape over them for the "out of sight, out of mind" comfort.
wondering because of the pin strips can I assume its original paint?…
@masinos65 - Understood. Thanks for the clarification.
@Bad_Idea_Dante I had my mechanic inspect the car and fix the issues he found. That included a couple of vacuum hoses and some coolant hose. There is no inspection report although an inspection was done. I will check headlight wipers tomorrow Regards
@therealdank321 It does have cold AC. Regards
@masinos65 - Thanks for the photos. Do the headlight windshield wipers work? Will you be posting a driving video? Also, is there a reason you won't share the inspection report with the public? That is something that is vital to our community when it comes to making purchasing decisions. Best, Nick
does the air blow cold?…
Underbody photos have been added to the gallery.
I guess the inspection report must not be good news. Thanks. I'll pass.
@Bad_Idea_Dante additional will be listed soon Regards
@GMA1 You are more when welcome do your own inspection (recommended) Regards
Would you consider sending me a copy of the inspection report?

Hello @masinos65. Do the headlight windshield wipers work? Can we get some underbody photos and a driving video? Any current oil leaks?
@MBMeezer Sorry but I don't have any previous records
Are there any prior Maintenace records? Has the car been stored inside or garaged through the years as it only shows 13,000 miles in the last 20 years?
@masinos65 Thank you
Additional photos of the headliner have been added to the gallery.

Would love to see pictures of the underside. Particularly suspension and springs. Does the car have any rust?
Do you have any concerns driving this car from West Palm to Connecticut? If I win it I’d love to fly down and drive it home. Thanks. Sam
@Rockster80 The pictures will be listed soon
@sjulier AC is cold
@RevKenzoom West palm beach Florida
What town is the car at ?
The front seats are both manually adjustable. Since this is a FL car, can we get headliner photos please. Any sagging of the headliner or on the A or C column.
I assume the Air conditioning is cold. Could you please show pictures.
The description says driver’s side seat has memory. I do not see any in the pictures. I assume the air conditioning is cold. Could you please show pictures.

I’m such a sucker for black impact strips on a white Sacco car.
