1994 Mercedes-Benz E320

1994 Mercedes-Benz E320

Published February 19, 2018 by Andrew

I was thinking the other day about another daily driver and what it might be. It is not that I am unhappy in my Mercedes-Benz W116 and W123, but on these cold days I just wish I had a little more creature comforts and a heater that was a little stronger than just enough to keep my teeth from chattering. Naturally, the W124 came to mind and specifically the face-lifted E320. They are still relatively inexpensive to buy, they are ergonomically flawless, simple enough to maintain at home and reliable enough that you won’t be scared to death to drive it everyday in fear of something happening. When I saw this 1994 painted in Midnight Blue pop up for sale outside of Philadelphia, the gears in my head started turning. But once I really got a close look at this W124, I wasn’t about to jump on board just yet. At least not for this specific example.

1994 Mercedes-Benz E320 Cabriolet with 6,700 miles

1994 Mercedes-Benz E320 Cabriolet with 6,700 miles

Published January 8, 2018 by Andrew

These ultra-low mileage cars always intrigue me in more ways than one. How have they held up after so many years of just sitting? How has the maintenance been handled despite only having a handful of miles a year? But this biggest thing I wonder is was it worth it, literally, to let the car sit and preserve its pristine condition. Today’s car, a 1994 Mercedes-Benz E320 Cabriolet that checks in with a little over 6,700 miles, isn’t your typical used car to begin with. I’ve covered the C124 pretty extensively and we’ve even featured some really nice examples here for sale. But for this 1994 for sale in New York, is it worth the giant price tag for the so little miles?

1994 Porsche 911 Turbo S Slantnose

1994 Porsche 911 Turbo S Slantnose

Published January 4, 2018 by Rob

With the January auctions approaching I always like to check in on what sorts of interesting cars will be crossing the blocks this year. Even though this auction is still a couple weeks away, I couldn’t resist posting this now. I could be wrong, but I think this is the only air-cooled 911 model I have never featured. It’s one of the rarest 911 models there is. We’ve featured the North American only Turbo S Package car previously, of which there were only 17 produced. For this model there are even fewer.

This is a Japanese market 1994 Porsche 911 Turbo S Slantnose, also known as the X83 Turbo S. And, yes, I do mean Slantnose and not Flatnose. Of the various markets only Japan received the 935-derived slantnose that was commonly found on the 930. The rest of the world received either the 968-derived flatnose or the standard 964 front of the Turbo S Package. Only 10 Slantnose Turbo S were produced, all nearly identical with Polar Silver Metallic exterior and Black interior. The biggest difference among the 10 was the choice of rear wing: you could have either the standard Turbo rear spoiler or for a little extra money you could choose the spoiler from the 3.8 Carrera RS. 4 buyers chose the RS wing.

I have never seen one for sale. Until now. This one will be up for auction at Gooding and Company’s Scottsdale Auctions on January 19 & 20.

1994 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Coupe

1994 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Coupe

Published December 7, 2017 by Rob

I’m starting to wonder if I’ve missed something with the 964 market. I’m speaking here of the standard models like the one we see here, not the various ultra-rare models that can command extremely high prices. Asking prices just seem way too high. The 964 indeed has become a more desirable model relative to its place among the air-cooled models only a few years ago, yet still while the rest of the market takes a few steps backward the asking prices for the 964 continue to go up. Perhaps it is because of those ultra-rare models and the significant premiums they command; sellers see a Turbo S fetching nearly $1M and think their Carrera 2 most certainly must be worth more than it is. Perhaps it’s the influx of RoW cars and the premiums those are commanding. I don’t know. Regardless, here again we have one that quite simply appears to be priced a good deal higher than it should be.

This is an Amazon Green Metallic 1994 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Coupe, located in Pennsylvania, with Tan leather interior and 116,810 miles on it. To be clear, I like this 964. I think it’d probably make for a nice addition to anyone’s Porsche family. It looks in pretty good shape for the age and mileage and the color combination is a very attractive one – not eye catching and head turning, but subtle and quite pretty. I just don’t think it’s a $60K 911.

1994 Mercedes-Benz E320 ‘Hammer Tribute’

1994 Mercedes-Benz E320 ‘Hammer Tribute’

Published December 6, 2017 by Andrew

Last week I checked out a 1983 Mercedes-Benz 500SEL that was styled after the legendary ”Hammer” from AMG. Notice I said styled and not another word because it was exactly that, styled. It looked amazing, as most people agreed, but under the hood was the stock 5.0 liter M117 V8 that wasn’t touched by AMG. Today, we have a different kind of tribute car that still isn’t the real thing, but has a lot more power over stock and still looks just as good.

This is a 1994 Mercedes-Benz E320 Coupe with a 3.6 liter M104 inline-6 engine from AMG swapped in. To go even further, this car has fenders from the legendary W124 500E grafted onto it for that extra wide look that every loves. And just one more thing while I’m at it, it has a 5-speed manual transmission too.
