Description
The Mercedes W124 was introduced in 1984 and was produced until 1997, a remarkably long lifecycle in the automotive world. Its popularity was due to its reliability and the forward-thinking design by Bruno Sacco, which was well ahead of its time. Often regarded as the precursor to the E-Class, the W124 was a defining sedan that shaped the streets of Germany for decades. The sedan was the choice of professionals, while families loved the wagon, and the coupé and convertible versions appealed to those seeking a more stylish drive.
Fans of the brand praise the W124 for its exceptional build quality, as well as the longevity of its engines and technology. It’s often considered the last Mercedes that was engineered by the engineers themselves, rather than being driven by the demands of accounting and marketing. Today, this model is experiencing a resurgence in popularity, especially six-cylinder Sportsline versions like the one currently offered for sale.
This particular model pairs the smooth six-cylinder engine with a manual dogleg gearbox, providing a direct and engaging driving experience. The exterior stands out with its well-maintained wheels and timeless two-tone grey paint, while the interior features classic wood trim and plaid upholstery, adding to its sophisticated look. It also comes with a host of comfort features, including electric windows and seats, a sunroof, and air conditioning.
The investment potential for well-preserved, six-cylinder Sportsline W124 Mercedes models is exceptionally high, making this a rare opportunity to acquire a beautiful example of this classic.
