The spec is a bit on the bare side for my likeing but nevertheless had it come for sale 4 weeks ago, i would have definately bought and the alloys look a treat.

Thats the one howard

It is a pretty car isn't it !!

Very pretty, do like it big time and the condition is pristine. I dont see no Air Con though

 

[Ian B Walker]

I think that is a stunning car for the price. The 280 are renown for being the best all round 6 potters Mb made. I can only drool right now

 

[NW_Merc]

I want it, I want it...... such a nice looking motor :bannana:

 

[A-AvantGarde]

That does look stunning, can't believe it but I think I want a W124 now

 

[Bobby Dazzler]

I'm with you folks - a very tasty car that

 

[Dave Lewis]

Damn that looks good. If I didn't need an estate, I'd offer a swap. Great colour combination. I like the wheels.

 

[andy_k]

No aircon and those wheels look totally wrong on that car

"ORIGINAL 2 PIECE 18" ALLOY WHEELS"

I don't think any W124 came out of the factory sitting on 18" rims and I doubt they would have been specified by a "Lady Owner" back in 1994.


Sorry, but I think that ad is more suspicious than most of the eBay ads we see getting assasinated on here

Could it be that the seller means the wheels are 'genuine' MB and not copies as opposed to original factory spec.?

I think externally the car looks stunning IMHO...not 100% sure about the state of the interior though - the photo makes the front armrest look a little battered...

 

[fnkhan68]

I reckon the ad is genuine, the bit about the alloy wheels is implying genuine mb wheels, he has put the word sl in brackets plus with new pirelli tyres and at that price it is a good deal. well cream leather armrests always wear out quicker then the rest of the car but the car is subtlely modified and it looks like the current owner takes good care of it and it is one of the nicests saloons i have seen. Andy perhaps you read the ad late last nite and was subconciously half asleep hence suspicious feeling about it.

 

[andy_k]

I wasn't half asleep, I just don't like the car. I think 18" wheels on the W124 look wrong and the ones on that just look out of place.

I'm always suspicious of "1 lady owner" cars, especially when advertised on Autotrader or eBay

 

[aka$h]

Ive had 4 sets of wheels on my car and I think the ones i have on there now are the best of the lot. They are 18's but genuine AMG's.

 

[gurpz]

Agree with you on that one Akash those 18' AMG's look the piece and suit it well, but what happened to the Avantgarde grill like the E280, you must get that grill back on !

I prefer the grill as it is, the other one looks a bit bling and out of place IMO.
I took all the chrome off the grill and had it colour coded.
