model and model year

 

[frans-c]

I'll take a wild guess: W123.

Approximately 2.3 million of them were sold between '76 and '85.

I'm guessing you mean a single year, but do you mean US or worldwide sales? Is looking up the actual sales totals considered cheating?

 

[rothmans18]

i reckon the 190

 

[POS]

Dang fine question. I would like to know both:

1) The best selling model (w123, w126, etc.)
2) The best selling year and what model

 

[Benzkid89]

Yeah I would like seeing what people bring up....me personally I think the 300 series ranks up there. I see tons of those around.

I know for a fact that the W126 S-Class was the best selling large Mercedes since ever. Over 800K W126 were produced in 13 years. The W220 did better than 600K, but this was only after a span of 8 years (1998 was the first year in Europe).

I'd bet the 124 chassis. Hope someone with easy access to MB figures will look 'em up for us?

There were over 1M W211 produced so far. This is since intro in MY03. Both the C Class and E Class do about 250K units per year.

 

[ScrazySean]

I'm pretty sure it is the w123 chassis, I don't know which one, But its most likely the 240D.

If not one of those, perhaps another E class

 

[csquared4290]

I would think the W126.

According to Wikipedia, W123 takes that honor.

[rothmans18]

according to worldcarfans:

"Production of the 190 ended in Sindelfingen in February 1993 and in Bremen in August that same year. A total of 1,879,629 vehicles had been manufactured"

so second i guess to the w123

According to Wikipedia, W123 takes that honor.
