For Sale: 1995 Mercedes-Benz E320 in Ft Worth, Texas for sale in Fort Worth, TX
Vehicle Description For many years, if you wanted a convertible Mercedes-Benz, the only choice was the 2-seater SL.
But in 1993, the Wunder-Engineers from Stuttgart developed the E-class convertible - a luxurious 4-seater with Mercedes quality and a top that went down.
This particular 1995 Merc E320 convertible is a bargain-priced way to get into an A-list Benz droptop, featuring relatively low miles, a wonderfully preserved original presentation, and unparalleled German luxury that still impresses today.
Yes, the mileage has crept over the six-figure mark, but in a Mercedes-Benz, it's all pretty much academic thanks to legendary build quality.
And if you do the math, 4,500 miles per year over the course of 26 years is evidence that this Merc was never put through the ringer, but rather enjoyed as a 2nd or 3rd car - to be driven on weekends and sunny afternoons.
So yeah, you better believe this 100% stock E-Class is still in great shape.
The W124 E-class was particularly well-engineered, one of the last Mercedes-Benz lines to be developed purely by engineers without the meddling of accountants and marketers, and it certainly shows.
Dressed in Brilliant Silver Metallic over Atlas Gray, it has a period-perfect look and still looks expensive.
Up close, you can hardly believe that this is a 26-year-old car with 117,584 miles on the clock, because the finish is well above-average and shows only minor imperfections in inconspicuous places.
And if you want to restore some mid'90s glory into that original finish, a professional detail with a little light buffing on the paint would really work wonders.
Thanks to rock-solid build quality, the doors still open and close without effort and the sucker fits together better than a lot of modern machinery.
The darker gray lower cladding is in great condition and is a lot more durable than regular paint, so it's resisting the passage of time pretty well and the big chrome grille and three-pointed star on the hood still have an intimidating effect on fellow motorists.
As you'd imagine, the interior is made of leather, which was a big step forward for Mercedes-Benz, who typically favored MB-Tex vinyl in their open-roof cars.
Black leather in a droptop of this vintage usually deteriorates easier than David Hasselhoff in a tanning booth, but the beautiful hides in this E-Class are a testament to this car's fantastic preservation.
The sculpted buckets up front remain firm and supportive, perfect for long-distance drives, and other than a few minor wrinkles and light scratches in the driver's seat, they look incredibly good.
Those famous plush Mercedes carpets still look great, protected by matching floor mats that have likely been there since new, and the door panels show almost no evidence of a car that's been exposed to the direct sun for several decades.
The rear seats look barely used and this cabriolet is loaded with every luxury feature you can imagine from the '90s, from automatic climate control to power windows, locks, and seats, just to name a few.
The real-deal woodgrained dash and center console are in awesome condition, as is the upper dash pad, and all the instruments are big, bright, and well-marked.
The only deviation from stock is a Kenwood AM/FM/CD/AUX head unit that fits neatly into the factory dash slot, and with cruise control and cold factory A/C this cabin feels like the lap of luxury.
As a true 4-seater, there is a real-sized back seat that's good for adults and because this is a Mercedes-Benz, the multi-layer black canvas top powers itself up and down, hiding beneath a hard-shell tonneau cover.
The top takes up a decent bit of luggage space, but you'll find there's plenty of room for your gear on a road trip.
Bottom line, if you told me this interior was 6 years old, I'd believe you more than the actual 26 years it really boasts - it's simply that nice.
The E320 received a slightly larger 3.
2 liter inline-six, whose silky-smooth torque output makes the car feel like it's powered by a turbine rather than pistons.
Famous for its reliability, with regular maintenance it should continue to run for quite a while yet and the engine bay is clean enough to suggest that someone really cared about this car.
It idles with barely a whisper and despite the transmission's programming that forces a second-gear start, it feels reasonably quick and agile around town and is simply amazing on the highway.
The all-independent suspension is supple yet athletic and the brakes are so powerful that you'll never even give them a second thought.
And thanks to a lifetime in California, rust and rot are not an issue here.
Factory alloy wheels were specifically redesigned for the E320 and carry 195/65/15 Michelin radials all around for optimum grip.
Can't you just picture some Hollywood big shot driving this baby down Pacific Coast Highway in 1995, chatting on his gigantic Motorola with the ocean breeze precariously lifting up his toupee? Well, he looks even sillier now that the asking price is $70k lower than when it was new - and this Merc is still in such great shape it's ready to tackle the sunshine-paved streets for years to come.
