Howdy...About a year ago I sold my 1991 420SEL. Since then I have been driving my 1999 Cadillac Seville. Nice car, powerful engine, decent interiors. It is not,however, a Benz.
Last week I drove my daughter's (well, it is technically mine, since I pay for insurance and repairs) 1989 300TE for a few days and driving it reminded me why I love Benzes so much.
So now I got the itch to get another Benz. I love the new Benzes, but with two kids in private colleges and two on their way to (also) private colleges there is no way I can afford a new Benz. So I have to "settle"
for an older Benz.
I really like the 1996 - 1997 E series cars, with the inline 6 cylinder engine. I think they are great cars and I think the inline 6 are great engines. I also like the style, including the "bug eye" look.
I would like to hear from E series owners of 1996 - 1997 vintage. How do you like your cars? Would you buy another one? what are the problem areas? Cost of maintenace and repair?
Thank you in advance for your help.
