1992 Mercedes-Benz 300TE — W124 Estate — Approx. 79k Miles — Extensive Service & Restoration History For sale is my 1992 Mercedes-Benz 300TE, with approximately 79,000 documented miles. This is a very well-sorted example of the legendary W124 wagon that has received an extensive amount of mechanical, cosmetic, interior, electrical, and A/C work during my ownership. Rather than simply maintaining the car enough to keep it on the road, I’ve put considerable time and money into addressing age-related issues and improving the car while retaining the character that makes these wagons special.
