One of the most legendary members of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class lineage is the W124 generation. This generation came about in 1984, and was made until 1995 as a sedan. Other variants carried on until as late as 1997. The W124 is widely considered to be one of the most solidly-engineered Mercedes-Benz models; it’s not uncommon to see them being used as taxis in some African countries to this day, braving elements such as desert sand, scorching temperatures and of course, limited availability of spare parts. We did get the W124 in the United States as well, and today, we’ve got a nice 1992 Mercedes-Benz 300D from Virginia for sale. This car has got 131,410 miles on the odometer, but that’s a mere stroll for a W124. You really should buy it because it’s a car that will become a classic very soon; yet is modern enough to drive around regularly. The car is said to be all-stock and has received a recent service.
