1994 Mercedes Benz E320 Cabriolet - Low miles - Mint !

You are bidding on a 1994 Mercedes Benz E320 Cabriolet in a stunning white with gray color combination. She has traveled only 42,000 miles and is a two family car (three owners – two in the same family).

In 1994, this Mercedes Benz was $80,000. Mercedes was lacking a four passenger convertible in their model lineup (at that time, the last one produced was in 1971 - the 280SE 3.5) so Mercedes chose the E320 as the next viable convertible. Built in limited numbers, these W124 bodied cars became immediately coveted. I have owned over 20 such convertibles. I am very bullish on these cars as six figure collectibles in the near future. Good ones, with low mileage are becoming very hard to find. Ours has only 43,000 miles. I own another with 105,000 miles (it too drives perfectly) and I drive that one for pleasure. Our white car has enjoyed infrequent use and is stored in my collection.

The E320 Cabriolet came, fromthefactory, loaded with virtually everyoption available to the E320 class, PW, PS, PB, P-seats, Cruise, AM/FMCassette Stereo, Power retractable seat-belts (front seat passengers), tinted windows, climate control, bothsun visorshavelighted mirrors, etc, etc.. At $80,000 retail - the buyer should expect no options.Remember, this was 1994.

The in line six cylinder motor is a jewel. It is, in myopinion, far better than the V6 engines in the newer MB's (I own a few of these as well). She is silky smooth to drive and economical. 25mpg is achievable on the highway, if that concerns you.

This is a rust free car – further, there are NO issues with the convertible top. She goes up and down perfectly. We keep her down, mostly, as we NEVER drive the car in inclement weather. She has no history of accidents or damage.

The inside of the convertible top has a small tear where it meets the clasp to close. A very common issue. No need to replace the top as she is in great condition (the plastic piece that guides the closing pin often breaks. Our did break, with age, and I replaced it with a new piece).

The plastic pieces that surround the closing mechanisms on the windshield header often become brittle and break also, ours did too, but I replaced them with NOS Mercedes parts. Now they are perfect again.

She is in stunning condition. As a collector, I attend to the smallest needs of my cars. As the car had needs, I fixed or replaced. Always with MB parts.

The car drives as new as it looks -starts every time - and we do leave a tricklecharger on it while in storage.

I have most of the original books and records.

The title is in hand and clear.

Brakes are excellent, transmission is smooth and quiet; shifting perfectly.

The body is in excellent condition. The interior is also in excellent condition (my wife drive this car and the seats have virtually no wear).

The factory radio works perfectly, with a tape player. There is a CD player in the trunk with an amplifier, but honestly, we’ve never attempted to figure out how it works. To my wife, this was unimportant.
The remote seatbelt retractors work perfectly. The power seats so also.
Air conditioning works well – but, with the top down, we never use it (Chicago weather). It may need a charge if you live in warm weather – I’m not 100% sure, but will check it out. Again, she is in storage.

The tires are nearly new (the old ones were getting dry rotted) and the oil is regularly changed. The battery is a year old and warranted by MB. The wiper blade is new (there is only one).

A google search of this car will reveal it’s collectible status, but, if you are looking at this ad, you already know that. I’ve priced the car in keeping with it’s low mileage and condition. It wont be a bargain. But, then again, I’m in no particular rush to sell it.

You will not find a nicer E320 Cabriolet.

I encourage inspections, answer all emails and please note, due to her age, she is being sold AS-IS, where is with no warranty is implied or expressed.

The deposit is non refundable and I report non paying bidders to Ebay.

I am happy to take addition pictures for an interested buyer. To view the car, please make an appointment.
