This 1995 Mercedes-Benz E280 AMG Limited is reportedly one very few produced as “dealer-ready” examples for the Japanese market by AMG Japan. The car is finished in Brilliant Silver Metallic (744) over Anthracite (271) leather and is powered by a 2.8-liter inline-6 paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. Upgrades performed by AMG include an authentic AMG body kit with fender flares, AMG suspension, 17” AMG BBS Aero II RT wheels, AMG exhaust, AMG door sills, an AMG gauge cluster and an AMG insignia in the ashtray veneer. Additional factory equipment includes a sunroof, power-adjustable and heated front sport seats, automatic climate control, and burl wood trim. An extensive service was performed in August 2021 and more recently in June 2023 the car received new engine mounts and transmission mounts. This W124 spent its life in Japan until being imported into the U.S. in 2021. Now with 148,845 km (~92k miles), this rare W124 AMG is offered in California with manufacturer’s literature including the leather AMG satchel, partial Japanese inspection and service records, and a clean Montana title.

The car is finished in Brilliant Silver Metallic (744) and features a stamped pre-merger Gen 2 AMG body kit including fender flares and AMG badging on the bottom of the front lip. Other features include a sunroof, headlight wipers, asymmetrical side mirrors, a power antenna, and a panoramic windshield wiper. Detailed photos of various trim pieces, marker lamps, and glass can be seen in the gallery below. The rear glass shows original AMG and AMG Japan decals in the bottom left corner. The seller notes crazing in the clearcoat of the paint along with normal wear including rock chips or scratches shown in the gallery.

The car wears 17” AMG BBS Aero II RT Multi-piece wheels original to the Limited models. The AMG wheels are wrapped in Kumho Ecsta PS31 tires measuring 225/45 on all four corners. The car retains its original AMG exhaust and AMG-tuned suspension featuring white springs and Bilstein shocks.

The cabin features factory sport seats covered in Anthracite leather (271) with matching black door panels, carpets, and Yanase-branded floor mats. The ashtray shows AMG badging original to the Limited examples along with AMG door sills. Amenities include burl wood veneer accents, power-adjustable and heated front seats with driver’s position memory, automatic climate control, cruise control, and a manually retractable rear window shade. Normal wear is seen on the driver seat bolster and cracks are seen on the wood veneer around the steering wheel.

A leather and wood-wrapped steering wheel frames a 260-kph AMG speedometer and a 7k-rpm tachometer along with gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, and fuel level. The six-digit odometer shows 149k kilometers (~92k miles).

The original 2.8-liter M104 inline-6 was rated at 194 horsepower and 199 lb-ft of torque when new. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission. Upon import into the U.S., an extensive service was performed in August 2021 including new tires, a new mass air flow sensor, engine air filter, water pump, thermostat, battery, and a fluids flush for the engine oil, coolant, and transmission. A service in June 2023 included new engine mounts, transmission mounts, and new hood insulation pad. 

A Carfax report accompanies this car showing history starting at importation to the United States in June 2021. This 1995 Mercedes-Benz E280 AMG Limited is offered in California with manufacturer’s literature inside the original leather AMG satchel, partial Japanese inspection and service records, and a clean Montana title.
