1994 Mercedes-Benz E320

SOLD

Description

This is a superb example of a rare, rapidly appreciating Mercedes that a driver can actually enjoy. Made on October 18, 1993, in Germany, this example was sold new to a physician on February 4, 1994. One of only 1,698 hand-built E320 Cabriolets produced for 1994 with an original list price of $78,325! It has lived all its life in the sunny, warm climate of Macon, Georgia since new and in Florida after 2018 Sold new and consistently serviced at Jackson Mercedes-Benz in Macomb, Georgia. This two-owner E320 comes complete with service history since new and has been very well sorted over the recent years.

Dressed in Polar White (code DB-149), the car's paint and trim are in overall very good order, including a dark blue, power-folding canvas top which was completely serviced and replaced by Bud's Benz Inc in Douglasville, Georgia. The car's body is straight and solid, the engine bay is extremely tidy, the trunk is very clean and the body-colored bumpers fit tightly to the body. The car has heat-insulating green glass and a rear window defroster (code 593).

This car rolls on Michelin Defender radials, size 195/65R15, at every corner and each tire is mounted on an eight-hole alloy wheel. The wheels are in excellent order, while the tires are in very good order.

Under the hood is a 3.2L straight DOHC, 24-valve six-cylinder engine with variable valve timing and Bosch fuel injection (code M104). The engine had the following maintenance and parts replaced:

• Cylinder head job completed in February of 2016
• Wiring harness replacement was done many years ago at Mercedes dealer under goodwill
• AC was not cold--replaced compressor, drier and x valve
• Replaced top with proper German soft top and replaced the 24-year-old front seat covers with new, German leather (rears are immaculate, rarely if ever used). More than $5000 invested in this alone
• Full investigation on top cylinders. A few had already been replaced; three more replaced later

The motor is backed by a four-speed automatic transmission (Type 722.4) (code 420). Driver convenience features include automatic climate control (code 51), cruise control (code 440), tilt steering column (code 441), headlight cleaning system (code 600), power rack-and-pinion steering, power four-wheel disc brakes, power windows, power locks, power sideview mirrors and power front seats (codes 241 + 222), a Mercedes-Benz Exquisit AM/FM stereo (code 251) and an active bass speaker system (code 814). Other parts replaced include:

• New front brake rotors and pads. All filters, fluids, plugs and more
• New battery in February 2016
• Replaced belt tensioner and new serpentine belt at 74,328 miles
• New Michelins and alignment at 74,120 miles
• Rebuilt top controller box
• Replaced original O2 sensor
• Replaced rear brake rotors, pads and sensors
• Replaced gears in seatbelt proffering arms
• New driver's side headrest gear

Safety equipment includes dual front airbags, anti-lock brakes and pop-up rear headrest rollover bars.

Inside, the blue leather seats are in excellent condition, as is the matching carpet. The four-spoke steering wheel is in fine shape. The inner door panels and dashboard with burled wood trim look great. The center console and shift lever echo the rest of the interior's condition. A factory AM/FM stereo with cassette deck rounds out the interior. The radio is original, the dash speakers were replaced but the woofers in the door are dead. There is one horizontal crack beginning in the center console.

Many cosmetic items and trim have been replaced, including the storage box in console, the piece of black deco trim on the rear trunk lid, faded front signal lenses and a twice-rebuilt Hirschman antenna. Replaced factory steering wheel with a Sportline Steering Wheel sourced in Europe. Replaced battery and the positive cable.

Documentation includes zippered binder with original owner's manual, original stamped maintenance book, original car care guide, original service manual, original 1994 original service directory plus invoices and receipts.

Convertible competition to this Mercedes in 1994 included: Alfa Romeo Spider, Audi's Cabriolet, BMW's 325i Convertible, Mazda's Miata, Nissan's 240SX Convertible and Porsche's 911 Carrera 2.

This is a great example of a classic 1990s Mercedes convertible, great for day trips, weekend getaways, leaf peeping in the fall and even stargazing. Come by MotoeXotica Classic Cars today and check it out for yourself.
