1989 Mercedes-Benz 300SE – One-Owner, Time Capsule with Only 17K Miles
Offered here is a true collector-grade example of Mercedes-Benz's legendary W126 platform: a 1989 300SE sedan with just 17,000 original miles. This one-owner car is a remarkable survivor, preserved in astonishingly original condition and maintained to the highest standard from new. Finished in a timeless Mercedes silver over tan leather interior, this 300SE is the definition of a time capsule—down to its original trim, glass, and even the factory radio.
Under the hood lies the smooth and durable 3.0-liter inline-six engine mated to a 4-speed automatic transmission, delivering a refined driving experience that defined the S-Class of its era. This car has never seen rain and has been garaged since new, which shows in the paint quality, undercarriage condition, and supple leather interior. The sunroof, power accessories, and climate control systems all operate flawlessly.
With 10/10 originality and condition, this 300SE stands as a reference example of Mercedes-Benz engineering and quality from the golden era of the brand. It rides on its original wheels with period-correct tires and features no modifications whatsoever.
Whether you're a Mercedes enthusiast, collector, or simply someone seeking one of the finest preserved W126s in existence, this 1989 300SE is an extraordinary find. Cars like this rarely surface—especially with a documented single owner, ultra-low miles, and a flawless service and storage history. It's as close as one can get to driving a brand-new 1989 S-Class off the showroom floor.
