Hi All,

I am looking for a W108/109 3.5 to buy.

If anyone has one, or knows someone selling one in decent condition, please let me know.

Thanking you all in advance.

Welcome to the forum.
Will keep an eye out.

Are you happy with either a W108 or a W109? they are very different cars to own, so wanted to check. Generally people want one or the other. If you do go for a W109, make sure its not had a W108 interior fitted as it destroys the value when it comes to resale.

Hi Bryce,

Thank you for your reply,

I would personally like the W109 but in saying that, I understand that they are getting harder to come by these days. So a W108 would be ok.

Thank you for the interior comment, I will definitely keep an eye out for that!

Thanks again

Tim

Have you seen this one?


Its' been for sale for ages, largely because the seller tried selling it with a very silly price in mind, and it went stale. It's now got a (more) sensible price attached to it, with some room to negotiate it down some more.

Its an attractive colour and seems in overall good order. Looks like its had a re-trim in the proper W109 pattern. I wouldn't say its the best re-trim in the world, but not too bad. Would want to look under the sheepskins on the front seats. Needs a period radio too.

Thanks Bryce,
Yes I've seen that one before.
Any seat covers on a sale add worry me a little to be honest.
Due to contracting covid I missed out on 2 x 300sel 3.5 early this year that went for half of what he is asking.
They were both in comparable condition to this one.
I shall keep hunting!
Thanks again Bryce, you've been a great help

Yes, his asking price is still on the high side.

The one that sold at Shannons was quite a basket case though, if that was one of the ones you're referring to.

Hi Bryce,
There was a white one and a black on black in Sydney. But I think the black one was a W108 from memory.
Are you talking about the silver one? I don't know much about that one.
Thanks
Tim

Yes, The silver one that went through shannons. Apparently it pretty much needed everything and was a lot better in the photos than in real life.
