Before you and up for bid at NO RESERVE is my 1993 Mercedes Benz 300TE Wagon (W124 Estate). I am thorough in my description for the benefit of all potential buyers. The particulars of the 300TE are as follows:

* Very desirable last year of the model. These wagons have somewhat of a cult following. Their reputation is one for exceptional safety, comfort and reliability.

At 26 model years of age, the 300TE wagon is vault solid. It looks, runs and drives great! It just completed a 1400 mile round trip to Tennessee for the holidays.
While not perfect, the car is very clean and in remarkable condition. It is a testament to the care it has received during the course of its life.
Nice Estate Wagons are becoming increasingly difficult to source. In most states, the car is now classified as a classic, (25 yrs.) and eligible for antique/classic plates.

** If you are "new" to eBay, have 0% feedback, excessive negative feedback, lengthy inactivity despite being a long term member, or less than 15 transactions, you will need to CALL ME prior to placing your bid and express your intentions. (convince me that you're legitimate) If you do not call me prior, your bid will be cancelled and you will be blocked from further bidding. This is to preserve the integrity of the auction for the legitimate buyers. All too often, individuals will bid and win auctions with no intention of fulfilling their purchase commitment. If you do not have the integrity to fulfill your purchase commitment, simply move on. I am a legitimate seller simply seeking a legitimate buyer. I will not waste your time, please do not waste mine or that of any other sincere eBay member(s).
eBay provides for 24 pictures. I have selected pictures that best present a concise overview of the car. If you would like any area specific pictures, simply ask for them.
I am not a dealer, I am a collector/hobbyist. Since 2007, I have sold more than 30 of my personal vehicles through eBay. Almost all have had their expectations exceeded. Where collector vehicles are concerned, condition is open to interpretation. I am thorough in order for one to make an informed decision as no one likes surprises. I have represented the 300TE accurately, honestly and to the best of my knowledge.
Given the age of the 300TE, by bidding you acknowledge your understanding that the car is being sold in "as is" condition with no expressed, written or otherwise implied warranties.
Buyers from the U.S., Canada, Europe, Russia, Australia, and New Zealand are welcome and encouraged to bid with confidence. If the car is sold to an international buyer, I am available for reasonable expenses with my aforementioned hauler to get the MB to the requisite port.
I answer my phone quicker than I respond to e-mail, call me directly with any questions.
Last bid wins although if one wishes to discuss a "buy it now", call me and present your offer. DO NOT call and ask me, "what's the lowest that you'll take?" I have ended auctions early, it is easily accomplished with a simple phone call.
As mentioned, these 300TE wagons are desirable and considered among the best that Mercedes ever built. It is a safe, inexpensive automobile that is entirely suitable for the needs of any family.
Thanks for looking and good luck when you bid!
