This 1992 Mercedes-Benz 300E shows one owner until 2024 with Oregon and Washington registrations since new. The current owner and seller purchased the car in December of 2024 and has added several hundred miles. It now shows 313k original miles and wears a 500km high-mileage award badge. Finished in Black Pearl Metallic (199) over Gray MB-Tex (178), power is provided by a 2.6-liter inline-six mated to a four-speed automatic transmission driving the rear wheels. Equipment includes a power sliding sunroof, power front seats, cruise control, automatic climate control, a power-adjustable steering column, and an OEM Becker head unit. The included Carfax report shows a few service history records and the car does benefit from an updated wiring harness. The seller reports new suspension and a recent oil service. This 300E is now offered for sale by the current owner in Seattle, Washington with a clean Carfax report and a clean Washington title.
The body is finished in Black Pearl Metallic (199) with contrasting lower body cladding and rubber impact bumpers front and rear. Exterior features include a power sliding sunroof, heat-insulating glass with a heated rear window, headlamp wiper/washers, an automatic antenna and a power passenger-side mirror. The paint is believed to be original and shows well. Imperfections include rock chips at the front, a crack and missing piece in the lower front bumper, and various small scratches on the rear bumper. No accidents or damage reports are present on the Carfax.
15” Gullideckel wheels wear Kumho tires measuring 195/65. The wheels show well with little to no wear and include OEM centercaps. The seller reports new suspension installed recently. A spare wheel and tire are included in the trunk along with a tool kit.
The cabin is trimmed in Gray MB-Tex (178) with a black dashboard, CocoMat floor mats and Zebrano wood trim lining the center console, dashboard and door panels. Both front seats are power operated. Interior appointments include automatic climate control, cruise control, a power-adjustable steering column and a Becker head unit. The cabin shows well for the age and mileage with little wear noted. The steering wheel has been recovered.
The four-spoke steering wheel fronts analog instrumentation including a 160-mph speedometer, an 7k-rpm tachometer, an analog clock and gauges for fuel level, economy, coolant temperature and oil pressure. The six-digit odometer currently shows 313k miles from new.
This W124 sedan is powered by a 2.6-liter M103 inline-six which is rated for 158 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission. The included Carfax report shows a few service history records and the car does benefit from an updated wiring harness. The seller reports new suspension and a recent oil service.
The carfax report also shows linear mileage updates, a clean history, and 3 owners from new. This 300E is now offered for sale by the current owner in Seattle, Washington with a clean Carfax report and a clean Washington title.
The W124 Mercedes is undeniably one of the most reliable and well-built Sacco-era cars to roll off the assembly line. The sharp lines and analog feel made this an enthusiast favorite since day one and moreover, these cars were built strong enough to withstand decades of abuse and stand the test of time to outlast any new car rolling off assembly lines today. This pre-facelift W124 comes with the early style front end and grille which is more reminiscent of the W126 design language and features the iconic Sacco-era lower body cladding. While this ione may not win any trophies in 2026 we have to point out there's intrinsic value in a reliable, timlessly-handsome, solid driver MB. While what you see is what you get, you're sure to get so much more out of the ownership experience.

@mccabe66 Ok. You've talked me out of my interest. GLWA@Peabo Hasn't been an issue for me up here in the PNW. Heater works great; blower works, just not the AC.@mccabe66 did your mechanic look at the AC? I would be nice to know the diagnosis. Thank you$501 bid placed by @BD450SL
No Air is a deal breaker… sorry260E, with MBTEX https://www.lastvin.com/vin/rjKDXd4eBQ8bEpN38AC does NOT blow cold. Radio antenna does not stay up. Speakers work but aren't great. Fog lights recently went out but when working are great. Probably a loose wire.Seller. I guess i'd like to know that everything works. Let me (and everybody else) what doesn't. At this many miles i won't get upset if a thing isn't perfect but still, nice not to be surprised. ThanksSeller, the write up states 3.0 liter and also 2.6 liter. I'm guessing 2.6 due to the trunk badge. You may want to ask MBMarket to clean that up. Please let me know if the AC blows cold. I'm in AZ and it's already over 100,. ThankyouThe Updated wiring harness comment is interesting, as M103 or CIS injection Cars Never had the Biodegradable Wiring Harness$250 bid placed by @Peabo
