It's a keeper

1991 Mercedes-Benz 300-Class 300TE 4dr Wagon
I bought mine 1 year ago and have put 20k on the car with no worries. It had 152k at time of purchase. This is my fifth older mbz and is my favorite one of them all.
Fun to drive, great reliability and the interior layout is practical.
I have seen the 3.0 liter inline six go 400k plus with just a top end rebuild.
Things to be aware of: head gasket and engine harness failure.
A small … price to pay in overall upkeep, for a car that is safe, has classic lines and can handle high mileage with proper care.

Love My Mercedes

1991 Mercedes-Benz 300-Class 300SE 4dr Sedan
i purchased this Mercedes in 2006, and it has 204,000 miles on it and I love the solid feel that you get in driving a Mercedes. I used to own nothing but Japanese cars. The German engineering is impeccable, this car has been very reliable. I see why this car was $53,900. 17 years later, still running strong, I see a lot of them still on the road, they are truely, classy cars and they … keep their value, so that should tell you something!

1991 Mercedes-Benz 300-Class 300D Turbodiesel 4dr Sedan
This vehicle is an excellent choice for
anyone wanting a great car for little
money. This car sold for 50K when new.
It has 225K miles on it and still runs
like new. It is tight with no rattles
or squeeks found in domestic vehicles
less than 2 years old. The fuel economy
is 32 MPG HWY and 23 MPG city. This car
looks like a 50K car and cost less than
a used Honda.

Never buy an early 4matic

1991 Mercedes-Benz 300-Class 300TE 4MATIC 4dr Wagon AWD
We bought this car with 147K on it. We
had it checked out and were told it
was in great shape. It came to us with
a failed transfer case leaking a qt of
hydraulic oil every 100 miles. The
repair was nearly $2,000 and the part
very difficult to come by. Now the
front and rear engine seals are
leaking and the engine has to come
out. That will be another $2,000+. The …
water pump and alternator failed
within days of each other. There have
been numerous hard start problems.
This is all within 4 months. The car
is fun to drive but I don't trust it
to go more than a month without
needing some hideously expensive
repair.
