Market Find: Japanese Market 1998 Mercedes-Benz E320 Avantgarde 4MATIC Wagon in Viola

With cars older than 25-years available for relatively easy import into the USA, we’re seeing more and more interesting specimens acquired across ponds brought into the The States only to turn up on auction sites like PCarMarket, cars like this Japanese market W210 1998 Mercedes-Benz E320 4MATIC wagon (Vin: WDB2102821X014479) in Viola Metallic (violametallic; metallic UNI; 339U; Mercedes-Benz).

It may look like an E55 AMG, but that’s pretty common for rest of world (ROW) specification cars where AMG appearance packages with smaller engines was more common. Even if it’s not an E 55, it does have some great options such as the rare Viola Metallic paint, Avantgarde body styling, 4MATIC all-wheel drive Graphite Cuir leather seating, a glass sunroof, heated power-adjustable front seats, cruise control, dual-zone automatic climate control, self-leveling suspension, those 18-inch AMG monoblock alloy wheels, and more.

The car is said to have been imported about two years ago and is now available in New York with just over 70,000 km (less than 44,000 miles) on the odometer. Bidding is currently only at $7,250 which seems very reasonable for what this car is. If you’re interested, check it out via the link below… but hurry, because as of this post there are only about 20 hours left to bid.

Mercedes made big news at the 1957 Geneva Motor Show when it revealed the 300 SL Roadster as a replacement for the iconic 300 SL Coupe also known as the “Gullwing”. Additional chassis reinforcement took weight up, though further improvements such as a fully synchronized gearbox, improved engine (dropping direct injection), rear axle design assured the newer and heavier Roadster remained one of the fastest accelerating cars available in those years.

European Market Find: Mystery Blue 1999 Mercedes-Benz E 55 AMG Avantgarde Wagon

Hear us out. Yes, we know the E 55 AMG Station Wagon was sold in the United States. They’re exceedingly rare, especially in solid survivor condition, but they were sold here. Still, anyone who loves these cars or is seeking a unique long roof may find this one worth going through the extra effort of importation. That it’s old enough for easy import is one obvious reason, but more so is the unique build specification this car got from the factory. This sort of specification would have been extremely difficult if not impossible for anyone in North America to order, so it’s worth noting… even if it does have a dash of turn-of-the-century Y2K kitsch in the color choices.
