From 1987, the Mercedes-Benz 124 model series supplemented a four-seater coupé: only the stem and rear lights were identical to the saloon, otherwise it was an independent body with a shorter wheelbase, lower overall height, and reinforced sheet metal sections in the area of the A-pillar, side skirts and doors. The side windows of the coupé were frameless and fully retractable, which contributed to the elegant silhouette of the car. Mercedes-Benz packed a sumptuous standard equipment into the coupés of the 124 model series (including an electric belt bringer for the driver and front passenger as well as more safety features) and ensured elaborate noise insulation. In total, almost 142,000 coupés rolled off the production line.

The seller mentions that a new service has only recently been completed and the powertrain of the Mercedes-Benz has no defects, and there are currently no repairs pending.
