A/C blows cold and the engine is more refined and powerful than those in our 1991 & 1992 300CE's. Minor problems included replacing one coil pack and the thermostat because the engine was running too cold. Bought it as a "snow car" for $5,000 ... best value of our four MB automobile purchases.
It may be true that I have a lemon. It is a truly beautiful lemon, but maybe a lemon nonetheless. I would caution you, however, that 2 years and 20,000 miles is not a very long time of ownership. I wish you the best of luck in the future.

It may also be true, as some enthusiasts suggest, that it really is too much to expect not to have considerable repairs with an almost 14-year-old car that I have owned for 11 years. The good news is that I still love driving my car. I just have moments when I wonder if I really should move into a much newer vehicle and not another MB. I also think it is only fair to share my concerns with perspective buyers of the model.

I think it might be like always going back to that same bad relationship with an ex girlfriend.
You feel you love them too much, or you are just too stupid to know any better.
