You often hear the phrase “They don’t make ‘em like they used to” and that couldn’t be more true when said about new cars. This 1985 Mercedes-Benz SD with just 50,000 miles on the odometer is the perfect way to showcase that saying. No complicated electronics and sensors here, just an honest car that is built to a standard that is nonexistent nowadays. The S Class name has been around since 1972 with several models to choose from in that 52-year timeline, and this classic W126 is on the more desirable side.
Cars in this good of condition are few are far between. The interior of this car has been preserved to an unbelievably high standard and it really shows. There appears to not be a single wear mark on the power adjustable beige leather seats (with memory of course!), not a chip in the wood grain on the dash, and not a stain on any of the carpets. Equipped with a Becker Grand Prix head unit and automatic climate control, getting comfortable will take no effort. The exterior of this land yacht is just as pristine as the inside. The grey paint has held up remarkably well for nearly 40 years with hardly any fading, chips, or scratches. The boxy shape of the car is complimented nicely by the pinstripes running the length of the vehicle, the silver body cladding on the lower end of the car, as well as the tips of chrome scattered throughout, and the period-correct 14-inch wheels that will give you a ride that would give a modern S-Class a run for its money.
Under the hood lies a bulletproof 3.0 Inline 5 Cylinder Turbo Diesel motor, code-named the OM617. With a fresh oil service and less just 50,000 miles on the clock, this drivetrain hasn’t even been broken in.

What do you get if you want a Mercedes-Benz E-Class, but with a sportier, coupe-like silhouette? One might point to the E-Class Coupe, but then you counter with “I want four doors”. No worries, Mercedes-Benz’s boffins had anticipated such a request. That’s why the CLS-Class was born 2004, as a four-door coupe-like variant of the E-Class. Three generations were made before the nameplate was retired in 2023, as Mercedes-Benz now offers similar value propositions in other models. This 2018 Mercedes-Benz CLS550 comes from the second generation of the model, and has covered 72,229 miles so far. It’s a well-specified car, with the Premium Package, AMG Line Package, Parking Assist Package, Night Package, and Driver Assistance Package all ticked off. Hence, it’s a great luxury car if you’re looking for something truly sleek and stylish, with a Star on the nose.
If you look at any modern luxury car, its main selling points are its gargantuan screens pasted on the dashboard or its gimmicky self-driving abilities. Go back 30 years, however, and the term Luxury Car meant something completely different. This 1995 Mercedes-Benz S600 Coupe with just 135,238 miles on the clock is a perfect representation. The W140 generation is known as the last overengineered Mercedes, and it really shows.
One of the most popular luxury midsize cars, the Mercedes-Benz W124 E-Class, was introduced in 1984. Since then, this sturdy German cruiser has gained a reputation for being the pinnacle of Mercedes-Benz’s bulletproof build quality and reliability. It was made as a sedan, coupe, convertible and estate. Up for sale today is a pleasant 1990 Mercedes-Benz 300CE two-door pillarless coupe with a scant 99,157 miles on the odometer. We say scant because it’s not difficult for these cars to quickly rack up mid or high six-figure mileages. So, if you want a practical modern classic that can possibly outlive you, here’s the golden ticket. The car comes with two keys, the original manual, and is reported to have all servicing done up to date.
