Vehicle Description

1991 Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL – Final-Year W126 Classic | $7,800 OBO

A true piece of Mercedes-Benz history. This 1991 300 SEL, finished in Anthracite Grey with Palomino leather, is a rare, final-year model of the legendary W126 chassis. With its long-wheelbase comfort, smooth inline-6 engine, and over $5,500 in recent maintenance, this is a dependable, dignified classic that’s ready to drive today.

Performed by a Mercedes-Benz specialist to ensure smooth, reliable performance:

• New exhaust system

• Brake master cylinder

• Belt tensioner, pulley, and belt

• Tie rods, brakes, rotors, wheel bearings

• Distributor cap & ignition rotor

• Overload protection relay

• Spark plugs & vacuum lines

• AAA battery

• Oil changed with Mobil 1 Full Synthetic + Liqui Moly Cera Tec

• A/C converted to R134a

• Goodyear tires (installed) + Blizzak winter tires (included)

This 300 SEL includes rare, complete factory accessories:

• Original books, 2 keys, sealed tool kit, first aid kit

• Powder-coated original rims

• LED exterior lighting

• Crack-free glass and fully working sunroof

I’m also including:

• Brand-new snow socks

• Original floor mats

• Back seat pillows

• Wool seat covers (front and rear)

• Original rear speakers and trim pieces (e.g., center console wood)

• The rear windows are currently up and secured, but the motors are non-functional.
• Custom wood slats replace the original rear package shelf (the original shelf is included if you prefer to restore it).
• The rear speaker grilles have deteriorated from sun exposure, though the original speakers are included.
• As with any classic of this age, there are minor paint chips and light scratches.
• There are no major signs of rust on the body or undercarriage. Despite being driven year-round through sun and snow, the car receives a deluxe car wash with wax after every drive before being returned to the garage, preserving its excellent condition.
• For over two years, I’ve driven this car daily with my family, and it’s proven to be safe, dependable, and trustworthy in all conditions.

This is the kind of car you can feel good about buying and driving — a true classic that turns heads and starts conversations, yet still functions as a comfortable, dependable daily driver. It gets a ton of attention everywhere it goes, and it offers that rare mix of vintage style and practical usability at a very reasonable price.

Whether you want to restore it to its original glory or add a few modern conveniences to suit your lifestyle, this 300SEL gives you a solid platform to make it your own.

I’m simply moving on to my next car project — but this one has been a pleasure to own and drive, and I’d love to see it go to someone who’ll enjoy it as much as I have.

Unlike many W126s, this car has had all the big-ticket maintenance done. You won’t be stuck chasing issues or sorting out decades of deferred work. It's a dependable classic you can drive home and enjoy the same day.
