This 1997 Mercedes-Benz E420T is a Japanese-market wagon that was brought to the US under previous ownership and was acquired by the seller in 2024. Power comes from a 4.2-liter V8 paired with a five-speed automatic transmission, and the car is finished in Violan Metallic over black leather upholstery. It rides on 17″ AMG Monoblock-style wheels and is further equipped with the Avantgarde package, a sunroof, roof rails, AMG bodywork, xenon headlights, and an AMG muffler in addition to heated and power-adjustable front seats, fold-down third-row seating, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a Continental head unit. Work under current ownership is said to have included changing the fluids and replacing the blower motor, throttle body, battery, serpentine drive belt, valve cover gaskets, spark plugs, headlight bulbs, and tires. This E420T is now offered at no reserve with a tool roll, spare parts, and a Washington title listing the vehicle’s model year as 1998.

The wagon is finished in Violan Metallic (339U) and features an AMG front spoiler and rocker panel moldings. Additional details include a sunroof, roof rails, fog lights, Avantgarde fender badges, and a rear window wiper. The xenon headlight bulbs and ballasts are said to have been replaced under current ownership, at which time LED driving light bulbs were fitted. Rust is noted on the right roof rail, and chips, dents, and scratches are evident on various body panels.

Silver-finished 17″ AMG Monoblock-style wheels were wrapped in 225/45 front and 245/40 rear Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 Plus tires under current ownership. The Avantgarde package features a lowered sport-tuned suspension, and braking is provided by discs at all four corners. The brake fluid was changed under current ownership.

The seven-passenger cabin features seating surfaces upholstered in black leather that are joined by a color-coordinated dashboard, center console, and door panels. Amenities include heated and power-adjustable front seats with position memory as well as dual-zone automatic climate control, a Continental head unit, an Avantgarde-branded shift knob, a fold-down third-row seat, a rear cargo partition and cover, and power windows. Wear is noted on the driver’s seat and the central locking does not work via the keyfob. The blower motor is said to have been replaced under current ownership.

The two-tone leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a 260-km/h speedometer, a tachometer with a 6k-rpm redline, and auxiliary gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level. Wear is noted on the steering wheel and the “light out” indicator is illuminated. The digital odometer indicates 203k kilometers (~126k miles), approximately 18k of which have been added under current ownership.

The M119 4.2-liter V8 was factory rated at 282 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque for the Japanese market. Work under current ownership is said to have included changing the oil and coolant as well as replacing the throttle body, battery, serpentine drive belt, valve cover gaskets, and spark plugs.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed automatic transmission. An AMG muffler is fitted, and the transmission and differential fluids were changed under current ownership. The seller states that the catalytic convertor rattles intermittently.
