You will never guess the price of this old Mercedes

If this Mercedes looks like something the brand built in 1995, that's because it is. But the price? You'll never guess that one.

The price of diesel cars is on the rise. Also in Denmark. In fact, the prices of up to 8-year-old 'diesel choppers' have increased by up to 40 percent.

It is – and must be – a different story with the really old diesel cars. So like this E300d from 1995.

But no. Because earlier this summer it found its new owner on the American site Bring A Trailer . And here something close to war arose over some. Perhaps because the soon-to-be 30-year-old Mercedes has only been owned briefly and by one man all its life.

And he doesn't really have cards in it either. A total of 13,500 kilometers have been made in 29 years. And that's something people are willing to pay handsomely for today.

In fact, the car has been used so little that it is still on the tires it was originally delivered on in 1995. And despite the condition of the car otherwise, it is probably something the new owner should have changed immediately. Unless the car is to be included in an almost museum-like collection.

Under the bonnet we find a version of Mercedes' OM606 engine. That is, a 3-liter inline six with 136 horsepower and 210 Nm. Whether it's all still at home, we shouldn't be able to say. But the service history doesn't fail anything.

The latest stamp in the service book is from May 2024. Here, the car had its fuel and air filter changed, as well as the oil and the coolant.

What will people pay for this kind of thing? Yes, so not a service on an almost 30-year-old, diesel-powered Mercedes but the car itself? $101,000 straight out. This corresponds to 690,000 Danish kroner at the current exchange rate.

It is only slightly smaller than the spiritual successor E 220d. That car is available in Denmark at the moment from around DKK 763,000. We said you'd never guess the price.
