A Mercedes-Benz E 320 C124 Cabriolet with Brabus modifications has recently appeared on the market with an asking price close to €100,000. What immediately grabs attention is the extremely low mileage of just 7,852 km, which is almost unheard of for a car of this age.
There is no doubt that W124 Cabrio models are among the most desirable modern classics from Mercedes-Benz. Built during the brand’s golden era, they are known for outstanding build quality, timeless design, and long-term durability. Convertibles from the W124 range have been steadily increasing in value for years, and this trend shows no signs of slowing down.
That said, the price of this particular example raises serious questions.
The Brabus name naturally suggests exclusivity and performance, but in this case the modifications appear to be limited primarily to the engine. There is no visible Brabus exhaust system, no clear evidence of Brabus suspension, and no comprehensive exterior or interior conversion typically associated with full Brabus builds from the era. If the car is still running standard suspension and exhaust components, calling it a complete Brabus car may be generous.
Of course, mileage matters — and 7,852 km is a massive selling point. Cars like this are no longer bought to be driven daily; they are acquired by collectors, investors, and enthusiasts who value originality and preservation above all else. From that perspective, it is entirely possible that someone will be willing to pay the asking price.
However, value is not determined by mileage alone. Without a fully documented, period-correct Brabus conversion, this feels less like a true Brabus masterpiece and more like a standard E 320 Cabrio with a partial Brabus touch and an ambitious price tag.
In my opinion, this valuation goes too far. The W124 Cabriolet is unquestionably a strong long-term investment, but in this case the price seems to be running ahead of the substance. If this were a fully engineered Brabus car, complete with suspension, exhaust, styling, and documentation, the conversation would be very different.
For now, it looks like seller confidence rather than clear market value.
As always in the classic car world, the market will ultimately decide.
