Hi folks,
My rust-free 82 240D is slumbering in the garage for the winter. My ageing 92 Volvo is performing yeoman's duty carrying me through the winter mess. I'm looking to get a replacement daily driver for the Volvo (in case it craps out this winter, but I will need a replacement vehicle in the Spring anyway, as I don't want to invest any more money into the Volvo, would rather put it into a car I will be driving longer). Thought of going for a reliable used japanese, but a good-sounding 1990 MB 300E has surfaced locally. 110k miles, no rust, clean, lots of work recently done to it, working AC etc., $3000 US.
I'm thinking about checking out and possibly buying the 300E and parking it for the winter, in case I might need it. Or hold off until Spring, ride things out until then and find something at that point.
I'm more used to diesel MB's but don't care to drive one in the winter up here, so a gas model MB would be nice, as long as maintainable, quality built and good condition.
Thoughts?
