Vehicle Description
Price slashed $2,000! This is a W123 Executive Sedan that was built
by Mercedes-Benz from 1976 to 1986. The chassis and powertrain were
used in many limos that were two feet longer; the sedan was very
popular with taxi companies all over Europe where they typically
logged 300k-600k miles with only minor mechanical issues. This car
is one-family owned since new. It was ordered by an
Italian-American born in Lucca Italy from the Mercedes-Benz dealer
in Lucca, where he had a vacation home. During the gray market
period of the 1980s he imported the car to his home in San
Francisco. He died about 15 years ago and the car sat until
recently when a very top Mercedes specialist went through it
entirely. These cars are of an exceptional build quality, have a
timeless classic look, and are great to drive. This is a good read
on how it feels to drive a W123:
