AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Mercedes 300 E 4-MATIC from the W124 series (MoPf1) in very nice original condition, condition 2+ according to Classic-Analytics professional check.
This beautiful and very well maintained car was first delivered on 17 April 1990 in Amriswil (Canton Thurgau) and has been driven in sunny Ticino since 1999. The service history was predominantly with Mercedes-Benz and carried out at the prescribed intervals. The canceled Swiss vehicle title, the service booklet with the original data card, and the onboard folder with the original operating manual, etc., are, of course, present and in as well-kept a condition as the vehicle itself.
Non-smoking vehicle, no pets.
Having been bought by me in Switzerland, the vehicle is being offered from my private collection for space reasons. The vehicle was properly cleared for customs upon import into the EU.
German historic vehicle registration since 2021.
I am the first and only registered owner listed in the German vehicle title.
Minimal imperfections (primarily the protective strip on the front bumper, which can be easily replaced). Please note the attached photos and feel free to inspect it in person.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
