This 1993 Mercedes-Benz 300CE Cabriolet was sold new in Southern California where it remained until February 2023 when the current seller acquired it and drove the car from California to Iowa. Now showing 85k miles, this 300CE is finished in Black (040) over Brazil Leather (263) and is powered by a 3.2-liter 24-valve inline-six linked with a four-speed automatic transmission. Equipment includes power adjustable front seats with driver-side memory, a power adjustable steering column, a power-folding fabric soft top, automatic climate control, cruise control, and an aftermarket head unit. The car includes a stamped service booklet showing the most recent oil service in April 2023 along with new lower ball joints and tie rods. This A124 is now offered for sale by the current owner in Iowa with one key, original manufacturer’s literature, a clean Carfax report and a clean Iowa title in the seller’s name.
The exterior is finished in Black (040) and features a power-operated black fabric soft top with a heated rear glass pane. Exterior features include power adjustable mirrors, headlamp wiper/washers, dual chrome exhaust tips, and an automatic antenna. The exterior presents well with normal wear seen including rock chips at the nose of the car. No signs of rust or previous damage is noted by the seller and the accompanying Carfax report shows a clean history.
The chrome 15” 8-hole alloy wheels come wrapped in a set of Sentury tires measuring 195/65 on all four corners. The seller notes the wheels show well without damage and include chrome OEM center caps. The full-size spare tire can be found mounted below the trunk floor.
The cabin is trimmed in Black Leather (261) and features matching carpets, black floor mats and Burl Walnut wood trim lining the center console, dashboard and door panels. The wood trim is in good condition and shows no signs of cracking or discoloration. Both front seats are power operated with two-position memory for the driver. The front seats fold forward to allow access to the second row. Additional interior amenities include automatic climate control, cruise control, a power adjustable steering column, seat belt extenders which the seller states are functional, and an aftermarket head unit with Bluetooth.
An aftermarket contoured steering wheel frames analog instrumentation including a 160-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, an analog clock and gauges for fuel level, oil pressure and coolant temperature. The six-digit odometer shows 85k miles with 2,500 miles added by the current owner.
This Cabriolet is powered by a 3.2-liter 24-valve inline-six which is factory rated for 217 horsepower and 229 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission. The car includes a stamped service booklet showing the most recent oil service in April 2023. Additionally, the seller reports new lower ball joints and tie rods were installed in April 2023.
The Carfax report shows linear mileage updates with registration in California and Iowa and shows no accidents or damage reports. This A124 is now offered for sale by the current owner in Iowa with one key, original manufacturer’s literature, a clean Carfax report and a clean Iowa title in the seller’s name.

I’ll make sure I didn’t do something wrong.
I’d like to update my previous comments. I was immediately contacted by The MB Market after I reached out to inquire why my bid was not counted. They are doing everything in their power to find out what went wrong if anything. I can say with all confidence that the staff are watching over the auctions and do value the customer experience here on the site. I thank them for their speedy follow thru and willingness to improve on any issues that may occur. I look forward to bidding on further auctions.
Yes I would’ve wanted top dollar on my sale to be the winner also. Let me know what you find out. I have contacted them also via email. Thank you.
big D Not sure what happened. I sent your comment to the administrator. I would have preferred your bid go through.
First time bidding and my experience was much less than lackluster. Can anyone tell me if there have been similar experiences?
I’m calling fowl. 🤨

@john_stolec A 1987 SL 560 became available and I do not have enough garage for both.
Why are you selling the car after owning it for only 2 months?
I do have two factory keys for the car.
