Used 1990 Mercedes-Benz 300-Class Sedan Consumer Reviews
Love my Benz
Just bought this 300SEL about a month ago from the original owner who was friend. It never saw snow or bad weather so it was in great shape. After driving, Park Avenues, Lincolns, Cadillacs and Chryslers I find this the best out of them all. I find myself leaving the new DeVille in the garage and driving this. I cannot believe how quiet this car is and how roomy it is. We just got back from a day trip with friends and they couldn;t get over how quiet the interior is and how no road noise could be heard inside. After a couple of hours of driving none of us were horse from trying to talk over the road noise you get from most cars. I definitely plan on keeping this car for a long time.
A Flagship Car
My 1989 300E is is in fact one of if not the best used vehicle that I ever had. I always wanted a 300E until I bought this one. It has 134000 miles and is still rolling, not ready to retire at the junkyard. I love it better than a Lexus, I enjoy the car so much that I drive it to anywhere I go. The 300E flows like the rivers of Egypt. Some experts say that cars are like women, "Those who are beautiful are seldom faithful and those who are faithful are seldom beautiful". But the 300E is at the same time beautiful and at the same time faithful.In sum, it is beautiful, it is durable. and it is a Benz.

Buy low and be ready to spend
Purchased used in Feb 2002. Car was in fantastic cosmetic condition with 108K. Have had a complete brake system overhaul and replaced Head Gasket. Also replaced AC blower motor and turn signal/emergency flasher unit. (turn signal flasher is not a $5 plug in type) Park Place Mercedes in Dallas appears to not want my business (as they refer to - "a car that old") Not been easy to find a capable mechanic to work on the vehicle. Thought to have been a good value at time of purchase, now higher cost, but still within reason considering condition.
A reliable inline-6 S-Class
This car has been reliable. Now that it is 21 years old with 146,000 miles there are a few wear and tear items. First, my right rear passenger window regulator went out along with the door lock mechanism. The radio volume relay switch went out and was replaced. There are some wear and tear items that need to be addressed, but as long as I can drive it safely.
The Best
I bought this new in 1990 and have had minor repairs done to it. The antifreeze tank cracked and fixed that and the radiater cracked and was fixed. This car I relied on for 12 years and still is running. I took it to Massachusetts from Connecticut about 10 times and worked great!
