We will only sell them to people who can connect with the German car culture and the idea of cherishing them as a member of the family.
The W140, Mercedes-Benz 300SE is the flagship of Mercedes, the highest of the premium saloons, and the third generation of the S-Class, born in 1991. In the Japanese market, where the myth of high-value-added luxury cars was deeply ingrained in society due to the bubble economy, the Mercedes character was extremely popular. The S-Class is said to be the last car produced based on the philosophy of “making cars without any compromise,” symbolized by Mercedes-Benz’s famous slogan, Das Beste oder nichts, (The best or nothing). It is a masterpiece of German craftsmanship with a deep taste of safety and quietness that makes mere specifications seem trite.
Unfortunately, in Japan, where the new car policy is absolute, the average ownership is 7 years, and the government policy makes it difficult to maintain old cars, the number of cars in service is drastically decreasing even if they are in good condition. However, in Europe, especially in Germany, a true automotive powerhouse, 60% of vehicles are still in service 30 years after production, and driving more than 300,000 kilometers is commonplace. The culture of treating a good car as if it were a family member, replacing it when problems occur, and using it for a long period of time is a true example of the European sustainable eco-life. In fact, I have a W123 that is 36 years old and has traveled more than 300,000 kilometers, and I use it as my daily driver. In the 80’s and 90’s, Mercedes cars were given a commemorative badge by the dealer when they traveled 500,000 kilometers or even 1,000,000 kilometers, which shows the high level of German craftsmanship to the world. This is a testament to the high level of German craftsmanship. Nowadays, it is easy to find parts from Niemöller and other German dealers on the Internet, and it is easy to enjoy an environmentally friendly and truly sustainable enthusiast life with a great car.
This interview is just that! It was the story of the relationship between (car) W140 300SE and people (owner) as it was in Germany!

The owner, who says that German car culture has always been a perfect fit for his lifestyle, has traveled around Europe, including Germany, experiencing the culture and enjoying the German car life in his daily life as well, driving 250,000 kilometers in his VW Golf I with a diesel engine and manual transmission. He has been enjoying the German car life. A few years ago, he met the first owner, who was over 70 years old and had been taking good care of this 300SE since it was new. He nodded his head in agreement with the idea that he wanted to build such a lifestyle, and had been taking good care of the car for over 20 years. The more he drives, the more he can feel the taste and personality of this “wonderfully maintained W140 300SE”. Since then, he has taken over the will of the first owner and has carried out various maintenance work as well as his precious family.

"Taking stock of your life to create a positive lifestyle..."
The W140 300SE is the embodiment of German automotive culture and has been cherished as a member of the family. It has been loved and cared for as a member of the family. There are no problems with it, nor is it in need of storage. It was a positive decision to move forward in life, she said sincerely. I felt as if I was interviewing her as a parent who wanted her daughter to grow up and become independent. This is the kind of existence that connects us to new feelings. This humanity is also based on the idea that a good car is like a family.
The true charm of a Mercedes is something that can only be understood after driving it for 500,000 to 1,000,000 kilometers….
