This 1995 Mercedes-Benz E320 Cabriolet was ordered for the U.S. market and first shows registration in Georgia in November 1996, where it has remained registered according to the Carfax report. Finished in Black (040) over Beige Leather (265), power is provided by a naturally aspirated 3.2-liter inline-six paired with a four-speed automatic transmission driving the rear wheels. Equipment includes a black soft top, heated power-adjustable front seats, automatic climate control, cruise control, and eight-hole alloy wheels. The current owner acquired the car in February 2025, and the odometer shows 211,154 miles. An oil change was performed within the last year. The car runs and drives and is offered as a project with cosmetic damage and mechanical needs detailed below. This E320 Cabriolet is now offered at no reserve on consignment by the selling dealer in Marietta, Georgia with one key, factory books, floor mats, a Carfax report, and a clean Georgia title in the owner’s name.
The exterior is finished in Black (040) with contrasting lower cladding, chrome trim, and a black fabric soft top. Equipment includes headlamp wipers, a heated rear window, and a power antenna. The body shows dents, scratches, paint chips, and damage to the bumpers and lower cladding, with close-up photographs provided in the gallery. The soft top has several holes and tears. Its mechanism opens and closes, although the front section requires manual assistance to fold during operation. The windshield wiper intermittently operates without being commanded, and the wiper blades are torn. The trunk supports are leaking, and rubber portions of the trunk-lid buffers are missing.
The 15-inch eight-hole alloy wheels wear Michelin tires with 2018 date codes. The wheels show finish deterioration, and the tires exhibit dry rot and have been recommended for replacement. Braking is handled by four-wheel discs with ABS. A recent inspection noted severely torn front strut mounts, torn front lower control-arm bushings, damaged front ball-joint and rear outer spindle-bushing boots, slight play in the driver-side inner tie rod and idler-arm bushing, and a failed steering damper. The rear differential bushings are also torn.
The cabin is upholstered in Beige Leather (265) with matching door panels and carpeting, a contrasting black dashboard, and wood veneer across the dashboard, doors, and center console. Equipment includes heated power-adjustable front seats, driver-seat memory, cruise control, a power-adjustable steering column, and a cassette stereo. Wear, tears, and discoloration are visible on the upholstery, with additional deterioration to the carpeting, wood trim, and interior fittings. The overhead control-panel surround is cracked, and the passenger seat does not move fore or aft. The air conditioning does not blow cold, and air does not flow from the center vents. The windows and roll bar were noted to function during inspection.
The four-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel shows wear and fronts a 160-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer with an inset analog clock, and gauges for fuel level, coolant temperature, and oil pressure. An outside-temperature display sits below the instrument cluster. The six-digit odometer shows 211,154 miles.
The naturally aspirated 3.2-liter M104 inline-six sends power to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission. An oil change was performed within the last year, and an inspection noted a newer torque converter, transmission mount, and front driveshaft flex disc, although installation dates and supporting receipts were not provided. The upper engine wiring harness has been replaced and carries a 2004 date code. Additional findings include a transmission fluid leak and newer engine mounts installed. Low coolant was topped up, and a blown fuse was replaced. No further repairs have been performed since the inspection. Earlier Carfax entries document a water-pump replacement in 2012, ignition coils, spark plugs, wires, and belt-drive work in 2019, and tie-rod-end replacements, an alignment, and a brake-fluid flush in 2020.
The Carfax report shows four owners, 35 service-history records, and Georgia registration history from new. An accident involving another vehicle in February 2005 resulted in reported minor damage to the right side, and an additional accident is listed in August 2011 without further details. No total loss or airbag deployment is reported. The most recent ownership entry is dated February 2025 at 209,555 miles. The car is offered at no reserve with one key, factory books, floor mats, and a clean Georgia title in the owner’s name.
Not every A124 needs to enter its next chapter as a finished collector car. Some deserve an owner willing to work through a list, bring the details back, and keep another four-seat Mercedes cabriolet on the road. Black over Beige is an easy combination to appreciate, and the shape loses none of its appeal with the top down. Even here, with the wear and age plainly visible, it’s not hard for anyone to see the potential. Sure, this one will take more than a detail but it also promises so much. What’s offered is a running and driving example with a long Georgia history, familiar M104 power, and no reserve. For someone who enjoys the process of bringing an iconic Mercedes back, there’s a clear starting point with plenty of worthwhile work ahead, and the promise of one of the best 4-seaters to come out of the 90’s.
