Delighted to see this outstanding example now listed here! Below are my comments when previously listed on BaT (05/13/2026): This W109 is unquestionably top tier — The Silver Gray Metallic (180) exterior presents beautifully while it’s important to note that the repaint was properly completed which included: – removal of bumpers, all trim, and molding – all anodized aluminum trim was polished – new body and grill molding strips were installed – no rust repair required at the time of the repaint – original sheet metal and weld points remain present These important details noted from the prior listing (ended on BaT 12/18/2017) for historical purposes. The interior is equally impressive: beautiful Black leather seats previously reupholstered, along with the replaced headliner and carpeting also sets this one apart. Receipts show door actuators replaced and vacuum system repaired among maintenance performed. The photos reveal gorgeous wood work throughout also previously refinished. Be sure to watch the Bid Nerds podcast coverage of this motorcar: www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaUjPxNRh_Y (From 43:57 – 53:00) As important as the cosmetics are, which can be quite costly if not maintained as this one has been, prospective owners should give close attention to the mechanicals: Engine Fully documented top end service totaling some $10k with photos provided. (Review photos 295-296) There is comprehensive paperwork which gives confidence on the reliability of this engine. Air Suspension The air suspension has been completely rebuilt with documentation and photos provided. Totaling some $13.3k this included main valves, the three leveling valves, compressor and everything else. Undercarriage The detailed suspension and entire undercarriage components are beautifully revealed in the photo gallery and worth much study in themselves. No rust, everything very tidy and in proper order. Bid Nerds best quote “aristocracy on wheels” says it all. If you’re sitting on the sidelines, you’ll miss an exceptional W109 with the rare 4.5 engine, not often seen and certainly not in this stellar condition — The W109 is an outstanding automobile, not one to suffer neglect without much expense involved. My compliments @deebspec on this highly maintained example, a top-tier motorcar that stands out among the best of the best!
@thembmarket Recommend removal of the vehicle title information. Specifically remove (or strike out) personally identifiable information.
Appealing 250SE Cabriolet 4-speed — Interesting history on BaT: Sold for $63.5k on 9/28/24 However, only bid to $55k on 12/17/25 Seller noted over $35k in work addressing the fuel system, injection, steering components, instruments, and Bluetooth radio. Perhaps may do better this time around!
Beautiful true European C124 — Important note: Transmission 722501 03 590120 is a 5-speed automatic Option Code 425 for 5-speed automatic Also note: Option Code 580 Air Conditioner Option Code 613 Headlamp Left-Hand Traffic ✅ Yes, these engines suffer from the biodegradable wiring harness issue, I know as I’ve owned both the M103 and M104 variants; has this been addressed? Not a deal breaker if not addressed however. @mark1, my compliments on this low mile exceptional condition C124, very appealing!
@blakleyleonard, you’ve brought one of the nicest! Thinking about the inop key fob and wondering if you checked the fuses related to the central locking system, the All-Activity Module (AAM), and antenna fuses? User manual can be consulted for a DIY effort…
@rmlsothebys, @mkoury83, it is neither plausible or prudent to write “this was a phishing attack, or a full account breach.” Seller was actively involved responding to inquiries, etc. This was a disappointment, period. @thembmarket states that they “uncovered information in regard to the seller and their affiliates and no longer deem it acceptable or secure.” Thank you MB Market for taking appropriate action!
Interestingly, this 540K C was last sold by Kidston, for an undisclosed amount — Marque and model expert Jan Melin provides this list of the 540K chassis per factory Sindelfingen coachwork style: Cabriolet A - 83 cars Cabriolet B - 190 cars Cabriolet C - 32 cars Accordingly, this is the rarest, stunning in every detail!
Now this, this 540K C, this is something to see! MBMarket is “the place” for the rarest MB — for those who spezialisieren! @brevomarketing, the next 11 days will be exciting!
Very impressive ‘Hammer’ and as we know these are definitely in rarefied field! Following this one since first listed and never had any doubts despite some of the comments herein. In fact, I have followed sellers’ auctions here and on the other site always impressed with the selections. For comparison: AMELIA ISLAND AUCTIONS 2025 1988 MERCEDES-BENZ AMG 300 E 6.0 'HAMMER Lot 136 sold for $753,000 And, from the CarandDriver Archives: https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a15141447/mercedes-benz-amg-hammer-archived-test-review/ Tested: 1986 Mercedes-Benz AMG Hammer With reference to Richard Buxbaum, AMG of North America. @Stuttgart_Steel, my compliments on this outstanding presentation!
This is a no excuses, no apologies A124 Cabriolet — The right color combination, right condition, low-miles, and all needed items addressed! These M104/103 engines are generally trouble free, easily maintained as I’ve personally experienced with my own and also with multiple straight-six variants over the decades. It is quite noteworthy to review the near $18k of documented repairs, parts replacements and/or servicing, not unexpected on any 30 years young vehicle even with low-miles such as this one. I do not see that the convertible top hydraulics have been serviced. Time is time, and items simply need attending to… This gorgeous Cabriolet with extensive recent maintenance is an excellent choice!
Beautiful SLC! @Silverarrowauto, Undercarriage photos are absolutely necessary and any maintenance history should also be added to the listing. Considering the scant details in the Carfax, the near 30-year owner should have an extensive file of records 😉
