This 2002 Mercedes-Benz E430 Sport first shows registration in Key Largo, Florida in October 2002 and remained in Florida before moving through Virginia to New Jersey in 2024. Finished in Tectite Grey Metallic (753) over Gray leather (218), power is provided by a naturally aspirated 4.3-liter M113 V8 paired with a five-speed automatic transmission driving the rear wheels. Equipment includes factory AMG styling, 17" five-spoke alloy wheels, a power glass sunroof, power-adjustable front seats with memory, automatic climate control, and a power-adjustable steering column. Modifications include a Kenwood touchscreen head unit, aftermarket projector-style headlamps, tinted windows, and a flat hood emblem. The seller acquired the car in 2024 and has added approximately 14,400 of the 99,341 miles shown. Service documented on the Carfax includes an oil and filter change in May 2025, along with earlier replacement of the alternator, radiator, and water pump. This E430 is now offered by the current owner in Hillsdale, New Jersey with one key, factory books, tools, a first-aid kit, a clean Carfax report, and a clean New Jersey title in the seller’s name.
The exterior is finished in Tectite Grey Metallic (753) and features factory AMG styling consisting of sculpted bumper covers and side skirts. Additional equipment includes a power tilt-and-slide glass sunroof, fog lamps, and power-adjustable side mirrors with integrated turn signals. Aftermarket projector-style headlamps have been installed along with tinted windows and a flat hood emblem in place of the standing star. The seller reports no known paintwork, body repairs, or corrosion. Scratches and other wear consistent with age and mileage are pictured in the gallery, and the side-skirt jack-point covers are missing.
Factory five-spoke alloy wheels measure 17x8" and wear Continental tires measuring 255/40 with 2023 date codes. The wheels show cosmetic wear, and rubbing is noted on the left-rear tire sidewall. Braking is provided by four-wheel discs with ventilated front rotors and anti-lock assistance. The Carfax documents tire replacement and an alignment in September 2024, a rotation in May 2025, and a tire repair in August 2025.
The cabin is upholstered in Gray leather (218) with coordinating door panels and carpeting. Burl walnut trim accents the dashboard, center console, and door panels. Equipment includes power-adjustable front seats with memory, dual-zone automatic climate control, cruise control, power windows, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror. A Kenwood touchscreen head unit replaces the factory COMAND unit, which is not included. Wear is visible on the driver’s seat and other interior surfaces, and the seller reports the cabin equipment to be functional.
The leather-wrapped multifunction steering wheel is mounted on a power-adjustable tilt-and-telescoping column. Instrumentation includes a 160-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, and gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level. Digital displays provide outside temperature, clock, trip, and odometer readings. The digital odometer shows 99,341 miles, approximately 14,400 of which have been added during current ownership.
The naturally aspirated 4.3-liter M113 V8 was factory rated at 275 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a 722.6 five-speed automatic transmission with Touch Shift. The Carfax documents replacement of the radiator, water pump, and an idler pulley in 2019; front brake work and replacement of the shifter bushings in 2021; and an alternator replacement in 2022. The most recent recorded oil and filter change was performed in May 2025 at 92,431 miles. No additional service has been reported since the last Carfax entry, and separate service receipts are not available. Underbody photos are included in the gallery.
The Carfax report shows five owners, 30 service history records, and registration history in Florida, Virginia, and New Jersey. No accidents or damage are reported. This E430 Sport is offered with one key, factory books, tools, a first-aid kit, and a clean New Jersey title in the seller’s name.
The E430 Sport deserves more attention than it gets. The M113 V8 and 722.6 five-speed are one of the best mechanical combinations to ever come form MB. It's what makes these cars such good daily drivers, while the factory AMG bodywork brings the look together. There’s enough torque to make passing easy without needing to chase the upper end of the tachometer, and the cabin still delivers the wood, leather, and straightforward controls we appreciate in this generation of Mercedes. This example has been used and shows it in places, but the documented cooling-system and alternator replacements are useful history to have. For someone looking for a V8 Mercedes to drive and gradually refine, an E430 Sport with fewer than 100k miles makes a compelling starting point.
