My Mercedes Benz 300E 4 door sedan to me was a very good purchase due to the reliability and stregnth that the vehicle posesses and beyond that the beauty it is to be the proud owner of a prestigeous Mercedes vehicle.

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!

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.

One of the original '86's

This 1986 300E was 15 years old and had 197,000 miles yet I had more than one person ask me if it was a new vehicle! The original factory paint is in mirror finish showroom quality! The intense sun did, however, take a toll on the leather upholstery, drying it out awfully. Mechanically the transmission is is need of rebuild but only because the seals leak...it shifts wonderfully still. It doesn't use a drop of oil even at this elevated milage. All of the electrics function fine save for the passenger side mirror adjust. I plan on seeing the odometer roll over to 300,000 and beyond on this wonderful, beautiful automobile.

I bought it new in 1988 (300E). Runs smoothly, only regular maintenance and replace parts due to wear. I had several other cars, BMW, Volvo, Lexus, even a newer Mercedes but nothing compares to the quality and materials of this car. Hope for 10 more years of great performance.
