1990 W124 price list

[BlueQuinn]

I got to a figure of £40,687. That's quite impressive, and clearly paid for quality, judging by the condition of the car today.

I'm guessing estates cost more than saloons (I based by price on saloon+self levelling suspension, and rounded it down to get a base price of £33,800. (I know that in 1993 a 320TE was 34,800, but in 1992 Car Tax was abolished, so that would have knocked over £2000 off the pre-VAT price)

For comparison a Peugeot 205 GTi was £9835.
And in 1990 the economy was in recession. House prices were falling. The average UK house cost about £88,000. I seem to remember at the time I earned about £65 a week, which is about £3,000 a year!

In response to a fellow forum member's request I have posted this price list image since I can't PM it. May be of interest to others?
The price list I have is actually dated SEPTEMBER 1990 so the E280 would not be on it. However I have attached a picture for the 2.6/3.0 litre saloon model pages- closest I could get.

Is the page still on the post as I can’t see it? Sorry newbie here

That’s fantastic, thank you - I’m only 4 days into my ownership but already it’s becoming an obsession!

Now I’m going to work out the cost new, gulp already

Couple of quick ones, could you let me know the cost of a Becker radio cassette from page 34 and sport line suspension from page 32/33

The list price of my car is staggering
