Hey everyone,
my search has continued for a daily driver. i found the following and need some advice.
1993 300E 2.8 black/black leather
129,000 miles
2nd owner, bought in 1994
new tires (bridgestone), brake pads, rotors, belts
oil changed rougly every 6K miles (by owner - sometimes synthetic, sometimes normal) and tune ups every 6-8 months (MB dealer)
no records
$4,000, but was originally asking $5,500
drives like a dream!
the paint is nice all over - few to no dings, but it is oxidized on the hood, roof, and trunk - looks polish-able/wax-able.
leather is in very good shape
rear window doesn't work
he was asking $5,500, kelly blue book is $7,600. i was able to talk him down to $4,000 because he doesn't want the inconvience of taking the car to get a PPI. he said he will let a mobile mechanic come check it out at his house.
yea, there are drawbacks about the car but the price is great. i plan on getting a PPI by a mobile mechanic and taking the car as long as it checks out.
what do you think? what would you do?
