Basic information and history

The Mercedes-Benz 300 CE-24 belongs to the classic W124 generation, renowned for its build quality, comfort and technology that characterized Mercedes in the early 90s. This specific model is equipped with the advanced 3-liter M104 six-cylinder with 24 valves, which gave the car both high performance and reliability – combined with a four-seat coupé body and lavish interior materials, it is an icon of its time.

The vehicle currently has an odometer reading of 77,910 kilometers . The odometer reading can be guaranteed and there is extensive documentation from the first owner onwards. According to the seller, the car has only had two users before the current owner, but due to special family circumstances, dealers and relatives have also been the formal owners for periods, which is noted in the registration statistics.

The car is Swedish-sold and its history and care are carefully documented. The current owner has owned the car as an investment with low mileage and few users as the main quality mark. Considering the value development for well-preserved 90s Mercedes, this is an addition for collectors and enthusiasts looking for a low-mileage car with a high level of documentation. Also included is a book about the history of the W124 and a documentation binder with, among other things, original service books and fuel receipts.

Equipment and options

• Leather upholstery
• Tiltable, electrically operated sunroof
• Air conditioning
• Removable towbar (retrofitted)
• Reflective ramp between taillights (original accessory)
• New tires (used for about 30 km)
• Original sound system

The car is basically fully equipped according to the 1992 specification apart from seats with electric adjustment and memory function. Modifications made include a retrofitted removable towbar and original reflector ramp between the rear lights, which both complements and accentuates the model's classic lines.

Condition

Body and paint: The paint is in very good condition. Normal wear occurs in the form of small stone chips on the hood, which is expected after 77,000 km. A minor shade difference can be seen on the right front fender, possibly from an early repaint, but this is only visible in special lighting and with a trained eye. The body is otherwise free of noticeable dents or scratches – any small marks can be seen in the pictures. There is a small rust speck on the inside of the boot lid, otherwise the car is free of rust. All chrome details, moldings, emblems and headlight lenses are without complaint.

Glass: The windows are in very good condition with a very small discoloration at the lower edge of the rear window.

Interior: The interior of the car is in near mint condition. There are a few small cracks on the plastic parts, but these are difficult to find. The headliner is flawless, buttons and controls are in good condition. The leather upholstery is well cared for.

Tires and rims: New Hankook Ventus tires, only driven about 30 kilometers. Rims are in good original condition.

Mechanics and function: The engine is in good condition and a previous oil leak between the engine and the timing chain cover has been professionally repaired. Brakes, gearbox and driveline are without complaint. The electronics are mainly functional, but the left front electric lift is stuck (probably the motor) and the air conditioning system is not delivering full power and needs troubleshooting.

Service history

The service is very well documented from the first delivery until the car was put away in 2010. The binder that comes with it contains the original service book, receipts, brochures and fuel receipts as well as various notes from previous owners.

The car was serviced before it was garaged in 2009 at 72,360 km (paint sealing was carried out at the same time), and the last service was done by the current owner at 77,900 km in connection with the repair of the oil leak.

The last approved inspection was carried out on 2009-09-08. The car will be inspected before sale.

Summary

This is a well-preserved Mercedes-Benz 300 CE-24, W124, in a condition that is rarely offered. With only 77,910 kilometers, very well-preserved original interior, low miles and only two users, it is an interesting collector's item or enthusiast car. The documentation is extensive, the service carried out according to all the rules of the art and original details are preserved. A few minor details remain to get it in perfect condition, but the overall impression is that this is an unusually complete example, which combines iconic design with Mercedes quality from their most robust era.
