The MB Market Insights

Rust-free W114’s and W115’s are becoming increasingly harder to find every year. For decades this utilitarian sedan wasn’t as collectible as the W108’s and seemingly lingered in the Sonderklasse shadow for too long. In recent years a younger crowd has found themselves drawn to the size and affordability of the W114’s. The Dark Red over Black is a very striking color combination and rarely seen. It's apparent this 250 has been owned with care proper attention making it the one to buy. There’s a lot to like about this specific example, maybe most of all we enjoy seeing a well sorted driver-spec car with three pedals. While it’s no performance sedan, these cars symbolize Mercedes-Benz style and reliability from a time when technology wasn’t king but build quality and comfort reigned supreme.

Good day all and thanks for watching the sedan over the last week. While the comments have been quiet, there have been a lot of good questions via DM and phone. We've shown the car a couple times as well and hope those showing spoke for themselves. Let us know if there are lingering questions in the final hours or if the videos didn't show something. Good luck to all!
