This Mercedes-Benz 230TE is a Japanese-market car that was built in March of 1988 and modified by AMG Japan with a 3.2-liter M103 inline-six. Finished in Arctic White over blue, the car is also equipped with AMG suspension, wheels, and bodywork, as well as a later-model fascia, Recaro CSE front seats, a folding third-row seat, and a four-speed automatic transmission. The car was imported to New Jersey by the seller on behalf of the current owner in May 2019, and maintenance performed since has included installation of a new fuel pressure regulator, fuel injectors, spark plugs, a hood pad, and tires. Now showing 87k kilometers (~54k miles), this W124 Estate is offered on behalf of the current owner with a clean New Jersey title.

The body is finished in Arctic White (147U), and the hood, grille, and headlights were replaced under previous ownership to match-later model W124s. AMG valances and rocker-panel extensions have also been fitted, and the lower body cladding is color-matched to the body.

17″ multi-piece AMG wheels are fitted with Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 tires that show 2019 date codes. The factory self-leveling suspension has been replaced with AMG struts and coil springs, and a front strut bar has also been added.

Recaro CSE front seats are upholstered in blue leather, though the rear bench and folding third-row seat are covered in blue velour. Burl wood veneers are present on the dash, center stack, door panels, and center console lid. An aftermarket shift knob is fitted along with a Nakamichi head unit.

A four-spoke AMG steering wheel fronts AMG-branded instrumentation, which includes a 300-km/h speedometer and a 7k-rpm tachometer. Approximately 87k kilometers (~54k miles) are shown on the odometer.

The 3.0L M103 inline-six was modified by AMG to 3.2L specification, reportedly increasing output to 230 horsepower, which is sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed automatic transmission. Service under current ownership included an oil change and installing a new fuel pressure regulator, fuel injectors, spark plugs, and hood pad.

An AMG exhaust is also fitted, and additional photos of the underbody and suspension are viewable below.

A plaque from AMG Japan is attached to the body, and the Mercedes tags are pictured in the gallery below.
