old school mercedes E class W124
classic 1990s mercedes benz at its prime .later model 1993-1995 are the best ones to own with its 3.2L inline 6 offering good power and average fuel consumption unique square lunch box shaped design ,ferm yet comfortable real leather seats with its soft smooth tight handling ,that glides over potholes and obstacles that can almost leaves you wondering ,did i just hit a bump ?!? .. snuggling you with safety features such as front seat belt retractors ,driver and passenger airbags,knee bolsters and a options list that was ahead of its time including bose sound system ,cell phones,two stage front heated seats ,asr traction control,abs brakes ,and headlight wipers that most likely all still work today ..on the downside its a german made car which means you will have to pay lots of money to maintain these vehicles ,so be prepared to spent more on parts and labor then the total value of the car. sadly with dwindling repair information and mechanics who can recall or know anything about these mercedes benz legends of the highways..in conclusion its fun to drive a time machine of 1990s luxury , that once only millionaires,celebrities,and business executives could partake in... but don't take my word for it ,drive one yourself !

Best of the best
I have had this car for 4 years and this is the best car I have owned. No problems,just regular maintenance and oil change. It is very fast and classy. This is what the Benz should look like. The newer E-class is ugly and suffers poor reliability - not a true Benz! Ask any Benz mechanic which is the most reliable model ever built and he will tell you the same thing. A Class of its own!
EXCELLENT CAR
I TRAVEL SIX STATES IN MY JOB. I HAVE OWNED BMW, VOLVO, AURORA'S THIS CAR IS BY FAR THE BEST OVERALL BEST VEHICLE I HAVE OWNED
Full of problems
My experience was not good at all, I paid more in repairs in one year than the car was worth. I bought it with 113k miles and within one year I had to replace the transmission, head gasket, neutral safety switch, ignition tumbler, blower motor regulator, combination relay. I'm sure there is more that I am forgetting. Of course, the previous owners might have played a big part in these issues, but after reading the online forums apparently most have these issues. According to my mechanic the wiring harness also crumbles but I never waited for that and sold it to buy a Honda.
Would Buy It Again in A Heart Beat!
I purchased brand new and it has been a gem. The price was definitely justifiable, for I probably would've had to purchased at least 2 other cars within this 10 year timeframe if I did't have my Benz. I have had no major problems and have kept up with routine maintenance. Most maintenance can only be done by the dealer which isn't pocket change, but is "far less" than a car note. The most has been $900 at the 90,000 mile check-up. At 10 years, I'm embarking on my 1st major service with the engine which will be about $2500, still less than a carnote, so I'm going to keep it instead of trading it in. It's a classic. The body still looks like the day I purchased it.
