This 1996 Mercedes-Benz E320 was first sold through RBM of Atlanta, Georgia and was registered with the original owner until 2023 when the current owner purchased the car. This E320 was his realtor’s car and when she wanted to buy something newer he purchased the car. It has lived in the greater Atlanta area its entire life with the odometer reading just under 120k original miles. The car is finished in rare Royal Indigo (339) over Parchment Leather (205) and powered by an M104 in-line six paired to a 722.3 four-speed automatic transmission. Options and features include automatic climate control, a power sunroof, cruise control, trunk mounted CD changer, and original Becker head unit. The current seller performed some maintenance items in preparation for the sale including transmission mount, engine mounts, brake fluid flush, oil change, front brake pads and rotors, new headliner, serpentine belt, air filter, cabin air filter, new A/C compressor, blower motor regulator, new Michelin tires, paint correction, and more. This 1996 E320 is offered on behalf of the seller with one key plus a disassembled second key, original window sticker, recent service records, factory literature, spare wheel, first aid kit, a VMI (Vehicle Master Inquiry) report, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Georgia title.

The body is finished in rare Royal Indigo (339) and the seller reports there are no signs of corrosion on the body as it has lived in Atlanta its whole life. Exterior features include power side mirrors, a power glass sunroof, and front and rear fog lamps. All factory lighting and glass remain intact. The seller has provided paint meter readings and show original paint other than the rear passenger door and the rear bumper impact strip. Intact are the original pin stripes that match the Parchment interior. A paint correction was performed in preparation for the sale and the headlights were polished.

Original 16” wheels are shown wearing brand new Michelin Defender 2 tires measuring 215/55 at all four corners. The tires wear 2025 date codes all around. Stopping power is provided by disc brakes on all four corners. Front pads, rotors, new OEM center caps, and a brake fluid flush were performed in preparation for the sale.

The cabin is trimmed in original Parchment Leather (205) and matching carpet is noted throughout. Burl wood veneer accents the dashboard, center console, and door cards. Notable interior features include electrically adjustable front seats with three position memory settings, an original Becker head unit, and automatic climate control. Original floor mats are included in the trunk with aftermarket matching carpet mats on all four corners of the car. The seller replaced the A/C compressor, dryer, and recharged the system. A new blower motor regulator was also installed. A new headliner was taken care of in preparation for the sale along with a new power window and power mirror switch assembly. The burl walnut shows in great condition with little UV damage or discoloration.

The brown leather-trimmed steering wheel frames a VDO cluster consisting of a 160mph speedometer, 7k-rpm tach, coolant temp gauge, and fuel gauge. Additionally, the digital odometer is featured at the bottom of the cluster and displays all pixels in working order. The odometer reads just under 120k original miles.

The 3.2L M104 in-line six was factory rated for 217 horsepower and 232lb-ft of torque when new. It’s paired to a 722.3 four-speed automatic transmission driving the rear wheels. 1996 was the only year to offer the M104 engine in the W210 which won Motor Trend’s Import Car of the Year award. These cars did not have biodegradable wiring harness issues. The seller completed a thorough mechanical refresh in preparation for the sale including:

Serpentine belt
Cabin air filter
Engine air filter
Oil service
Engine mounts
Transmission mount
Battery

The car was serviced by RBM of Atlanta by the original owner up until 2023. The dealer had replaced the steering rack, brake light switch, water pump, cylinder head and head gasket, spark plugs, window regulators, and regularly serviced the vehicle. The seller shows no current head gasket leaks or issues in the underside video. Most of the dealer service is documented in the VMI report included in the gallery.

The included Carfax report shows two owners from new, no accident history, and 23 service records which were mainly at Atlanta’s historic Mercedes-Benz dealership. This 1996 E320 is offered on behalf of the seller with one key plus a disassembled second key, original window sticker, recent service records, factory literature, spare wheel, first aid kit, a VMI (Vehicle Master Inquiry) report, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Georgia title.

An underside inspection, walkaround, and driving video is included by the seller:

The MB Market Insights

This might be one of the more understated and elegant W210s we’ve had submitted to the site. M104 powered W210s are rare sights nowadays and share a ton of W124 DNA. These honestly feel like backdated W210s if we are to use Porsche terminology. We’ve actually driven this car and if you were to safely close your eyes and drive it, you’d swear it was a W124 down to the steering wheel, the snappy 722.3 transmission, the heavy accelerator pedal, the smell of the higher quality leather, the heavier steering compared to later cars, and the silky smooth sound of the legendary M104 inline six. Also, can we mention the paint color? This was a special order car per the seller and the original owner specced the car this way. We’ve never seen this color in person until this one and it's stunning in direct sunlight. The mid ‘90s had a colorful aesthetic and this charming W210 embodies it before Mercedes-Benz and everything else shifted towards the cold and monochromatic Gen X Soft Club aesthetic that took over everything going into the new millennium. This W210 is full of whimsy and is a standout by 2026 standards. With the recent services, replaced head gasket by the dealer, and the best touring tire money can buy (we will die on the Michelin Defender 2 hill as the quietest tire in existence), this is a turnkey modern classic that will draw attention at car shows but is also an excellent daily driver. We love W210s and this one tickles us.
