This 1995 Mercedes-Benz E320 Wagon shows three owners from new with the first two maintaining long-term ownership and records in California. Finished in Brilliant Silver Metallic (744) over Grey Leather (268), power is provided by a 3.2-liter inline-six linked with a four-speed automatic transmission driving the rear wheels. Equipment includes power adjustable front seats, cruise control, ASR slip control, a rear-facing folding third row, and a power tilt/slide sunroof. Recent maintenance performed includes a new valve cover gasket, engine mounts, plug service, transmission service, sway bar bushings, a differential service, complete fluid flush, brake service, and A/C service. This S124 shows 146k miles and is offered on consignment by the selling dealer at No Reserve with both keys, the original tool kit and first aid kit, a Carfax report and a salvage California title.
The exterior comes finished in Brilliant Silver Metallic (744) and features contrasting gray lower body cladding. The exterior features a power tilt/slide sunroof, integrated roof rails, power adjustable door mirrors and a headlamp wiper/washer system. The driver door has been repainted and the included Carfax report reports front end damage to the wagon in 2012 resulting in a rebuilt title being issued at 116k miles. Detailed photos of the exterior can be seen in the gallery.
Original 15” 8-hole wheels are shown with a machined face and silver center caps. The wheels wear Michelin Defender tires showing 2020 date codes and ample tread. Each wheel shows some curb rash around the edges and discoloration. New front and rear brake pads were installed in February of 2023.
The interior is upholstered in Grey Leather (268) and features Zebrano wood trim which lines the center console, dashboard and door panels. The wood trim presents well with cracks shown on the shifter surround panel. Interior equipment includes power adjustable front seats, cruise control and a folding rear-facing third-row bench seat. In February of 2023 the A/C was serviced and reportedly works as intended.
The four-spoke steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer which sits alongside a 7k-rpm tachometer, an analog clock and gauges for fuel level, coolant temperature and oil pressure. A digital outside temperature sensor is mounted at the bottom. The six-digit odometer currently reads 146k miles.
This S124 is powered by a 3.2-liter inline-six cylinder engine which makes 217 horsepower and 229 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission. Recent maintenance performed includes a new valve cover gasket, engine mounts, plug service, transmission service, sway bar bushings, a differential service, complete fluid flush, brake service, and A/C service.
The Carfax report shows first registration in California where it spent the past 28 years. This E320 wagon is offered on consignment by the selling dealer in Orange, California at No Reserve with both keys, the original tool kit and first aid kit, a Carfax report and a salvage California title.

No seat heaters. That was a rare option back in 1995.

Does it have heated seats?
Last 30 minutes everyone. This car will be sold for no reserve. Spent $4k on major service getting it ready for the next 100,000 carefree miles. I suspect someone will score a great buy today. Solid rust free basically one owner southern california car. This car will outlive all of us.
You know how it is. When you get into a cold car you max the heat setting to get heat as quick as possible. When i did the test drive the hvac system was set to off.
@Growingupin80s Thank you! I didn't mean to suggest that the operating temperature (as indicated by the gauge) was screwy; rather, that the AC/Heat controller was shown all the way into the red (most heat possible). If the HVAC works as intended, then I'm satisfied.
I did not notice the temp gauge acting erratically in the videos. When I did the videos the car was cold. I will drop off the car at my mercedes mechanic to give final inspection to ensure everything is working properly prior to handing over the car. Yes the hvac works as design.
Hello, Seller: I'm always a little worried when I see the temperature control moved to one extreme or the other. Can you confirm that the A/C blows cold, the heat warm, and all three fan speeds work? Does the temperature control work as expected? Thank you! I hope to bid.
Videos showing a walk around and driving functions have been added.
On your descriptions you mentioned about a video that showed certain things, Unfortunately there is no video posted, Can you post that ?
@carcrazy24 Apologies, overlook that part of your question. No, unfortunately I no longer have the original radio. The current radio supports bluetooth streaming. But I can understand how certain owners would prefer the original radio as I would, they are readily available on ebay.

Hi seller, I don’t mind bidding but I still have a question pending response regarding if you have the original radio. Thank you

@classicrides when the mechanic completed the full service he checked the hydraulic system and deemed it in proper working order
Has the SLS-hydropneumatic rear suspension ever been replaced or required any service? If so, how long ago?
@carcrazy24 yes the items you inquire about all work. Are you interested to bid on the car?
Seller just following up on the question below

Rocksolid looking Mercedes that looks freshly serviced.
Do you have the original radio? Does the cruise control and AC/heater and power items work like the antenna and the windows/locks/sunroof?
Drives in perfect form. No play in steering.
Does the car drive and track straight?
@roup1 Good morning. Well that is one of life's big mystery on why it has a salvage title. Looking into the carfax it was owned by original owner from 1995 to 2020. Fully serviced at Mercedes dealer Downtown LA until 2011 at 110,182 miles. It appears that was some damaged in the front in April 2012, looks like the front bumper. By then the car was 17 years old with 110k miles the insurance company probably totaled it out, paid the owner the value of the car and let them keep it. Owner probably fixed the damage and kept driving it till 2020. It was smogged in oct 2012 so everything seems normal. We had our independent Mercedes Certified tech service the car with instructions to make it as good as new. He changed all the fluids, new brakes, fuel lines, all engine and transmission mounts, etc. When he removed the valve cover he commented the internals look as good as new with no noticeable wear. In the video i showed the car starts right up instantly with no extended cranking necessary that reflects the fuel delivery and compression is in top condition. The value in this car is the $4000 spent on recent servicing to restore it to top running condition. For those not bother by a designation in the title this represents great value for a daily driver.
Why was it salvaged? Accident? Flood? Something else?
