Used 1991 Mercedes-Benz 300-Class Consumer Reviews
The 300SE is definitely a family car!
Purchased in 1996 off a trade-in from a 5 year lease. This was the best deal I ever made. With low mileage 32k miles and in great condition. It is now May 2003 and I have had the car for 7 years and still love it. I have driven from New Jersey to Miami 5 times with no problems. It has only needed the standard maintenance specified by the book. A great car!
Solid car and reliable
I love this car! We've had it for a year and the only thing that we replaced was the battery. It was well-maintained when we got it. The only issue I have is the driver side window. It doesn't close all the way up. For the age of this car, it is pretty reliable. We have 195k miles on it.

Love my Merc
I found this one owner all server records 300E for sale. I have always been a fan of this body style since they came out in 1986. For $5,000 I bought it. I the 8,000 miles I have had it there have been no problems. Love to drive it on a trip. I get 24mpg consistently. Nobody believes it is a 17yo car. It is a keeper. The W124 of this era are along with the w140, the last of the great Mercedes
MB Wagon
A great car for snow country use. Love the ability to bypass chain installers. Downside is the lower fuel mileage caused by the 4matic system.
Be a Benz lover 300
This is a Tank , nothing more nothing less - It was $55,000 new in 1991 M103 Engine 3.1 Litre 6 cylinder Straight 6 Gas automobile. Fuel injected , W126 one ECU - no new type tech stuff... just Air Bags in those days and ABS.. This is a great car - no good in SNOW without Snow tires... The car never dies Period. I have 185,000 miles on it. Even the doors feel like doors... I have had many Jaguars and I am not convinced this is and was a Better car when it was New, compared to the XJ6 and XJ12 I used to swear by.. Sorry Limeys... the Germans out did you back then. I have to see probably the suspension is ahead of its time...open your eyes and look at the linkage for the suspension... Ahead of its time !! I wish they still made this NEW but those days are over and its a Sunday Driver for me ! Wife hates it !! so thats a plus...She has a toyota... .Oh you can get 560 SEL but its an 8 cylinder longer wheel base.. VERY hard to find here in NY. This is not for high techies...this is now for Collectors and Sunday Driver type car... put me back into a Time machine and I would trade alot to be back in the showroom and BUY or Lease this car. The Jaguar would never last this long...mine never did and I was Brain washed to be sure.. The Germans WIN !!
