But seriously...any engine can develop a misfire, including V8's...if you want power, get the V8, if you want economy, get the diesel, if you want economical smoothness, get the inline 6.  They are not bad engines at all. |
Yeah, I like what the 6 had to offer, which is why I wanted a 300SEL, but I did not know of these potential problems even around the 150K mile mark. I was thinking this was something that came around closer to 200K. My uncle had a 89' 300 wagon with 171K and it never had any issues.
Maybe I will take a chance and go ahead and get this one. If it does soon need this work, it should not be too costly should it since these are fairly simple engines?
This car supposedly does not have these problems and stated to run great, but knowing my luck it may have, but for $2000, what can I expect?
