1992 Mercedes-Benz 400E

This 1992 Mercedes-Benz 400E was first registered in Alabama and spent time in Georgia before relocating to California following the seller’s purchase in 2024. Powered by a 4.2-liter M119 V8 paired with a four-speed automatic transmission, it is finished in Signal Red over beige leather upholstery. Equipment includes 15″ Alamak alloy wheels, a sunroof, European-style headlights, power-adjustable front seats, cruise control, automatic climate control, and cruise control. This W124 400E is offered at no reserve with partial service records, a clean Carfax report, and a clean California title in the seller’s name.

The car is finished in Signal Red (568) with black bumper trim. European headlights have been installed, and the factory headlight wipers have been removed. Additional exterior details include a sunroof, a power antenna, and a mono-blade windshield wiper. The seller notes clear coat damage on the hood, trunk, roof, and pillars. Close-up photographs of the exterior finish and trim are shown in the gallery below.

The 15″ Alamak alloy wheels were mounted with Michelin Defender tires in April 2024. Braking is handled by ventilated front and rear disc brakes with ABS.

The cabin features seating upholstered in beige leather along with wood trim and a color-coordinated lower dashboard, center console, door panels, and carpets. Interior appointments include power-adjustable front seats, automatic climate control, a passenger airbag, and cruise control. The AM/FM cassette stereo does not work.

The four-spoke steering wheel frames VDO instrumentation including a 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer as well as an analog clock and gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, and fuel level. The six-digit odometer shows 125k miles, and was repaired in preparation for the sale. The seller does not believe the mileage to be accurate and total mileage is unknown. The 4.2-liter M119 V8 was factory rated at 268 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. The oil was changed, a transmission leak was repaired, and the distributor cap and rotor were replaced. [Only 1 cap and 1 rotor? -Ed.]

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission. The Carfax report is free of accidents or other reported damage.

Sold for $8700, ~$9200 with fees, ~$11k all-in with T/T/T/T. Decent result considering the tariff tornado likely scared some buyers into keeping their piggy banks intact.
