Parents bought the car new, and it was given to me when I got my permit ten years ago. Rarely gives trouble. If you don't know how to drive it, it can be slow, but hit the top of the accelerator and the car will throw you back in your seat. Best car to get into a wreck in. A TrailBlazer hit me and did a number on the Chevy while leaving me with a scratch. I like this car so much I bought another one, if that tells you anything. The gas mileage is good. I get about 18 in the city w/ A/C on full blast. While I've owned this car, I've owned an AUDI, VW, two BMW's (very needy cars!), and an Infiniti. None, not even the Infiniti, held up like the MB. These cars are built like tanks that last forever.
Love my 300E

I love my 1990 300E, my first Mercedes, which I've owned for just over 2 years. I purchased it with 60k miles, and I've added about 8k miles/ year. I love the way the car feels bigger and heavier than it appears. First time passengers are amazed that my 300E is 12 years old because it's in such good shape. Maintenance and repairs can be expensive. I always say, you get what you pay for, and with a high quality luxury car, you're going to pay a bit more for the repairs and general maintenance. Overall, though, I am very happy with the car and I look forward to many more years of happy driving.
Old but a classic

Have a '88 model - I am at the least the 4th owner. Considering that the car has 175,000 miles on it I think that this is one of the best cars I have ever owned (out of Mitsubishi, GMC, Toyota, Crysler, VW, Nissan) It runs every day without any hesitation. For sure it has a few small issues but with it's advanced age it is to be expected, Had engine seals redone recently to pass inspection, replaced injectors (less than an hour) and minor maintenance like fuel filter, plugs. I had never fancied a MB but seeing that I was temporary where I am, wasn't going into debt for a car, paid $2000 and expect to recoup my investment when I leave. Would not hesitate to buy another anywhere I go.
Gonna miss it . . .

This has been an awesome car--1989 300E which now has 210,000. People can't believe it's 15 yrs old! Overall, paint still looks GREAT, but a few rust spots around jack holes at bottom and around trim. I'm going to have to part with it soon and get newer model. I think if not for rust, I may have considered keeping it a while longer. Solid, smooth ride and easy to handle. Great interior quality- -still looks great. Have had it to the dealer only a few times--which is a good thing--pricey! We do minor maintenance and repairs ourselves. Got my money out of this one.
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.
