The seller offers for sale this 1991 Mercedes-Benz 300 TE, a practical and comfortable estate from the well-regarded W124 series. This example is powered by a 3.0-liter six-cylinder petrol engine paired with an automatic transmission. According to the seller, the vehicle was originally delivered in California and later imported into Germany before arriving in the Netherlands. Documentation includes various invoices and several appraisal reports, although no history from the United States is available. The paintwork is in reasonable condition and was previously resprayed in the United States, likely due to sun damage, with preparation not fully according to European standards. The interior is in good condition, with some wear on the driver’s seat bolster and fading of the wooden trim. The vehicle is equipped with features such as leather upholstery, air conditioning, automatic transmission and a third seating row. The cruise control is currently not functioning.
The current, but not documented mileage is 267.000 km and it holds a valid technical inspection.
The Mercedes-Benz W124 series is widely regarded as one of the most durable and well-engineered model lines produced by the brand. Introduced in the mid-1980s, the W124 combined advanced engineering with high levels of comfort and build quality. Estate versions such as the 300 TE offered additional practicality with generous cargo space and optional third-row seating, making them suitable for both family use and long-distance travel. The model became known for its reliability and solid construction, earning a strong reputation among drivers and enthusiasts. Today the W124 remains appreciated as a dependable classic that combines everyday usability with the traditional Mercedes-Benz driving experience.
