Description
The Mercedes-Benz W124 was introduced in 1984, with the cabriolet version remaining in production until 1997—a remarkably long life cycle in the automotive world. This longevity was due to the model’s immense popularity, driven by its reliability and the forward-thinking design by Bruno Sacco. Often referred to as the predecessor of the E-Class, the W124 is seen as the last “true” Mercedes by many enthusiasts. This iconic sedan helped shape the German streetscape for decades, with the estate version beloved by families, and the coupé and cabriolet aimed at more carefree buyers.
When asked, fans of the W124 praise its outstanding build quality and the longevity of its engines and technology. Those familiar with the brand consider the W124 the last Mercedes where engineers, rather than accountants and marketing teams, had the final say in the design process. Today, this model series is enjoying a resurgence, especially the six-cylinder versions like the one now offered for sale.
The smooth inline-six engine pairs perfectly with the automatic transmission, enhancing the car’s comfortable and refined nature. Externally, AMG wheels and a two-tone grey paint job give the vehicle a timeless elegance, while the interior features wood trim and plaid upholstery, ensuring an upscale, classic appearance. The car is well-equipped with numerous comfort features, including electric windows and seats, a sunroof, and air conditioning. With the value of six-cylinder W124s steadily rising, this well-preserved example is a great investment opportunity for those looking to own a piece of automotive history.
