1995 Mercedes-benz E320 Cabriolet - 42k Original Miles, Exceptionally Clean on 2040-cars

Offered for sale is an absolutely gorgeous, exceptionally clean, 42k original mile 1995 Mercedes E320 Cabriolet finished in ceaselessly tasteful Smoke Silver Metallic over a Parchment leather interior. With a sticker price of $79,595, the car was sold new by James Motor Company, the Mercedes dealership in Lexington, KY, the car would spend a majority of its life in nearby Missouri, always used as a second car and weekend driver, always garaged and always professionally maintained. The car was sold to its most recent owner in Houston, Texas in 2009, who continued the car’s sparing use, accruing less than 4,000 miles in five years of ownership. 

The completely original factory Smoke Silver paint is in fantastic condition throughout, marred only by a handful of extremely minor imperfections (a very soft door ding, a handful of touched up chips, etc.), all of which are consistent with a well cared for, low mileage example and none of which are significant enough to appear in any of the pictures. The body is straight with factory consistent panel fits and gaps and absolutely no indication of any accidents, further backed up by a clean Carfax report that also validates the low original mileage. The soft top is in excellent original condition and the original wheels are wrapped in Michelin tires with plenty of remaining tread. The car’s parchment interior is absolutely impeccable, the leather seats, carpets, interior panels, wood inlays and dash all showing virtually no wear whatsoever. Everything works, including the ice cold air conditioning system, 10-way power and heated seats, seat belt assist, power top, roll-over-protection bars, original sound system and 6 Disc CD player. 

The car is also in fantastic mechanical condition, starting effortlessly and pulling strongly and smoothly through each of the gears. The time tested, bullet proof 3.2L Inline 6 Cylinder engine puts out plenty of torquey power and the car is a joy to drive, whether tooling through town or cruising down the highway. While it would be shame to turn this into a daily driver, it’s certainly a turn-key a modern classic that will undoubtedly provide many happy years and miles for its next owner. The car comes with its original window sticker, its original books and manuals, both original keys, tool kit, spare tire and a rare removable windscreen. 

With Mercedes’ trademark solid construction, gutty yet elegant era-specific styling and still relatively simple mechanical and electrical systems, the E320 Cabriolet is considered by many in the collector car world to be the last standard production Mercedes that will ever be considered a classic. Offered in hardly-broken-in original condition, this beautiful original example is quite possibly the finest on the market today. 

We want this car to go to great home and would be happy to further discuss it and answer any questions, so please feel free to email us or call us at 805-708-2404.

We’ve always had an appreciation for classic European cars and over the years have created an eclectic personal collection. We only buy cars that we’d personally be interested in owning and generally only sell them to make room for other acquisitions. That time has come for this Mercedes (if the price is right, of course - this isn't a fire sale). We try to give accurate descriptions of the cars we’re selling, but we’re enthusiasts, not experts, and we encourage and are happy to help facilitate personal or professional inspections. But please do so before bidding, as the alternative harms our ability to make sales to other interested parties who have done their proper due diligence before bidding. 

For U.S. buyers a 10% non-refundable deposit is required within 3 days of the auction’s end, the balance to be paid within 7 days of the auction’s end. Foreign buyers must pay in full within 7 business days of the auction’s end. Buyer is responsible for shipping, however we’d be more that happy to help with recommendations and arrangements. The car is listed locally and we reserve the right to end the auction at any time should it sell prior to auction’s end. Thanks for your interest.
