This example of the rarest of any Mercedes Convertible since the sixties is solid as a rock and rides as new. It was purchased at Beverly Hills Mercedes in 1995 for more than $75,000. Everything works including ice cold air, heated power seats (driver and passenger), power windows, cruise control, power mirrors, ABS, factory thick, padded and insulated convertible top with glass rear window and factory 6 CD changer. It has the original tools and optional windscreen. I have all invoices and service records since new including those for the head gasket valve job and cooling system overhaul that were done by a local (San Diego) authorized Mercedes dealer in 2010 and the car has about 16,000 miles since. The Michelin Pilot tires have less than 10,000 miles on them and shocks slightly more. The front leather seats have fine cracks on the cushions and the rear seats are in very good shape. The convertible top works perfectly and there are no leaks from any system on the car from hydraulic to oil (engine, transmission). Transmission shifts smoothly and perfectly. This car can be driven anywhere (as I do) while getting 25 mpg (freeway). It is reliable, comfortable, fast and great fun to drive especially with the top down and the windscreen attached. There are no squeaks or rattles whatsover. It is a car that you can enjoy while it appreciates due to its limited production. Will personally drive the car to the winning bidder under certain circumstances and will also ship worldwide. (Buyer pays shipping of course) The following is from an informative article about the car: "With just about 6,400 imported to the U.S. during its three-year limited-production run, the hand-finished E320 Cabriolet could well become the next Mercedes-Benz collectible. It would join the ranks of other classic Mercedes convertibles, including the 220SE Cabriolets of the 1950s and the 280SE and 280SE 3.5 Cabriolet models of the late 1960s and early 1970s. Those models are now worth many times their original purchase prices, according to the widely respected CPI (Cars of Particular Interest) Value Guide. "The 1993-1995 E-Class Cabriolet will unquestionably be sought after by collectors in the years to come," says Eric Lawrence, CPI Editorial Director. "Its appeal is similar to that of the 280SE convertible, one of the most desirable post-war Mercedes models." Based on the coupe version of the previous-generation E-Class, the Mercedes-Benz E320 Cabriolet is a convertible coupe in the truest sense: it offers high-style, high-performance driving and touring pleasure for four people. Yet, the E320 Cabriolet is far more than a coupe shorn of its roof. Its extensively reinforced body eliminates the shudder and cowl shake that plague some convertibles and provides the ride and handling characteristics expected of a Mercedes. Innovative Safety Like every Mercedes-Benz model sold in the U.S., the E320 Cabriolet includes dual airbags, emergency seatbelt refractors and anti-lock brakes (ABS). To meet the unique safety needs of an open car, the E320 Cabriolet also features an innovative, sturdy rollbar integrated into the two upholstered rear-seat head restraints. These deploy automatically within a fraction of a second should the car start to roll over, or if there is a severe front, side or rear impact. Identical in concept to the retractable rollbar safety system in the Mercedes-Benz SL coupe/roadsters, the Cabriolet's rear head restraints can also be raised and lowered by switches on the console. With its fully-lined, snug-fitting power top (which lowers in 20 seconds after two latches are released) and glass rear window (with an integrated defogger) the Cabriolet coddles its occupants in foul and fair weather alike. Its hand-fitted leather seats can be electrically heated, and the cabin is complemented by genuine burl walnut trim. Other standard luxury features include automatic climate control, electrically adjustable steering column, two-position memory for the driver's seat and steering column and an active-bass six-speaker cassette sound system with power AM/FM/cellular phone antenna. In addition, the car is pre-wired for an optional compact disc changer and cellular telephone. The E320 Cabriolet is powered by the same renowned 3.2-liter, 217-horsepower inline six cylinder engine as the E320 sedan. A four-speed automatic transmission and patented five-link independent rear suspension provide a sporty, yet comfortable driving experience."
