No affiliation. Thanks @LWB250 for spotting this! Headliner is sagging and I expect it needs a harness (NLA) plus head gasket, but otherwise could be a time capsule.

“I just don’t have room for it” = “it was always a flip money grab anyway”… but OK… good luck getting $19k… anyone buying it won’t like this guy’s profit in the middle.

GXSR, all the very best in selling. .. The W124 is going to make a solid / safe daily driver for a DIY owner type.

Rare to see a “common” w124 sedan in such nice visual shape. Nice color combo not often seen. Original owner must have been a retiree or buyer who really treasured having the car.

@M. Schneider, it's not my car - it's a seller in Arizona somewhere. No affiliation, I don't know either the car or the seller. Just passing along the info in case anyone wants a no-mile stripper in rare colors!

Yes, I saw that. Must be laundering money, this is a stupid price for a car that is unimportant in the grand scheme of things & was produced in hundred of thousands.......

Nah, $70k is just irrational exuberance over a low odometer and (maybe) rare colors.

Here is your laundering money listing:

SOLD - 1990 560SEC Widebody 6-Speed by Bespoke, "sold" for $0.56M on BaT (Costa Mesa, CA) | Off-Topic Discussions

UPDATE: Based on information which came to light after the auction ended, it appears this was a marketing stunt, and $560k never changed hands. It's also unclear if the title ever changed hands either, i.e. the car did not "sell" to a new owner. Since 126board is temporarily down, figured I'd...

This is pure comedy. I sort of “get” the relatively higher prices Dean obtains for those e300 diesels (great engine; one of the last solid “modern” MB cars), but this sale at this price for an M104 engine?

I’m still hitting my head over not jumping on the former @RocketeerPerformance‘s car that just traded hands.

There is a 86 W124 with 4200miles! on BAT at $9400 with 18 hrs left on auction Seems like a smokin deal on a rare low miler
