This 1991 Mercedes-Benz 250TD is a European-market wagon that was imported by the seller from the Netherlands in February 2018. Powered by a naturally-aspirated 2.5-liter diesel inline-five paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, the car is finished in Midnight Blue over blue plaid fabric and features a retrofitted facelift-era front end as well as Sportline suspension. Service in the last year included fresh fluids and fuel filters, self-leveling suspension work, new brake components, and more. This S124 shows 252k kilometers (~156k miles) and is offered with manuals, a stamped maintenance booklet, a build sheet, and a clean Michigan title in the seller’s name.

The exterior is finished in Midnight Blue (904) paint, the condition of which can be seen up close in the photo gallery below. The seller notes touch-ups on the rear right wheel arch and several other areas that show evidence of paintwork. Rust is present under the right front door and inside the rear side windows as shown in the gallery. The front end features a later-style hood with and integrated grille, with the retrofit documented on a build sheet below.

15” 8-hole wheels wear Continental PremiumContact tires, and new stainless steel valve stem caps have been added. A Sportline suspension upgrade is also listed as a later retrofit on the build sheet, though it is not known when the changes were made. Corresponding badges are present on the fenders, and the tailgate badging has been updated to later nomenclature. A walk-around video has been provided by the seller.

The interior is trimmed in blue fabric with plaid inserts and blue carpets which are protected by new Coco mats. A Sportline shifter and airbag-equipped steering wheel are featured, and an Eberspächer pre-heater timer has been fitted ahead of the shifter. A power sunroof is factory equipment and power windows have been added. The rear window washer is disconnected, and according to the seller the tubing will leak along the tailgate hinge if the washer is activated. The air conditioning system has not been used during the seller’s ownership and its condition is unknown, though the seller was told by the previous owner the system functions.

Metric VDO instrumentation includes an odometer reading approximately 252k kilometers (~156k miles), 1,400 kilometers of which have been added by the seller. The fuel gauge is not accurate and is said to read 3/4 when full and occasionally bounce while driving. A period Blaupunkt cassette player and CD changer are fitted, but the latter will only cycle through CDs without playing them. The power antenna has been replaced during current ownership.
