The "300" badge covers several Mercedes generations — the boxy W123 sedans and wagons, the W124 that followed, and the flagship W126 300SD and 300SE — so this listing spans sedans and coupes, plus the occasional wagon or roadster. Too few trade here in any stretch to build a sold-price average, and honestly a number wouldn't mean much across cars this different in age and spec. What decides value is the body, the drivetrain, and how original it is, not a formula. Most stay in the US with restorers and diesel enthusiasts, picked up on a trailer or shipped in-country.
The diesel engines are the reason a lot of these cars are still running. The OM617 five-cylinder, naturally aspirated or turbocharged, has a reputation for outliving the rest of the car by a wide margin, and the OM603 six-cylinder that followed it in the later 300D and 300SD carries much of that same durability. Confirm the specific engine and check for a service history, since a diesel with skipped injector or glow-plug maintenance is a different animal from one its owner kept up. Rust is the other half of the equation — wheel arches, floor pans, the battery tray and the area under the rear window are where these bodies go first after decades outdoors. Cars from the final 1992 and 1993 W124 production years carry a documented issue with the era's biodegradable wiring insulation, which turns brittle with age, so check grounds and gauges on a late 300E before you commit. A rough shell with a strong diesel underneath still makes a solid parts donor.
Buying is quick: register free — no dealer license — set a maximum bid and the system bids up to that cap, or take a lot at its Buy Now price. Win it, pay the invoice plus fees, then pick up, ship or export.
Note: ACV and damage data come from the original auction listing. Always check the condition and title yourself before you bid.
