An eBay purchase, this car was
repainted following purchase due to sun
damage but otherwise needed very
little. I own 6 classic Mercedes and
this is the grand pappy of them all,
with silky-smoooth ride and exceptional
quietness. This model sold for $82,900
new, and can be purchased typically for
$10K to $20K depending on condition.
Probably the closest thing to
a "lifetime" car you can buy, with much
simpler electronics and lower costs of
ownership than the successor 140 series
cars. As far as what to watch out for,
these cars had some corrosion problems
in the rear window areas and sometimes
the glass would delaminate; used glass
is about $400.

The best of 3 SEL's we have owned over the last 20 years.
Repairs have been regular oil and filter changes , brakes, and one problem window over the last four years.
Our mechanic says ignore the power steering pump leak and live with it.
Fuel mileage is the best we have had. 15 around town and 20 to 22 on longer trips.
We run regular fuel but we don't hot rod it.
I have always purchased around 100K and run them to 200K plus then basically give them away.
Pay extra for good tires. It is worth it in ride and handling.
Look for one that is really clean and cared for. It is worth the search.
Have fun and enjoy it.

Best car I ever owned. Dependable, hugs the road, sturdy, comfortable to drive. Fourteen years and very few problems outside of regular maintenance. Fabulous car.

Safe and reliable .
It is a fun car to drive, comfortable and so smooth.
I bought this car for my dad who insisted on the very best in quality.
My dad recently passed away and unfortunately I now need to sell the car.
Clean and cared for.
Looks and drives like new .
If you know anyone who would appreciate this soon to be classic, they may contact me at
