From Diesel to no Diesel and back to another diesel
I sold my 1984 300SD on eBay this weekend. I was really bummed about getting rid of it, but was trying to consolidate my vehicle collection. I was on my way to the Saab dealer when I saw a 1996 E300D sitting in front of the Toyota dealership. I was only without a Mercedes diesel for 3 days!
The difference between the 300SD and the E300D is amazing. You cannot hear the OM603 idling. Nice car - I think I like it!

Well, you see that makes the 98-99 E300 a 96-977 E300 on steroids.
Seriously.... enjoy the ride. It's been interesting here, listening to the guys with the 20 year old cars saying how great they are...... not to start a war, but everyone needs to try something newer. I personally think the 98-99 E300's are a pretty nice ride. Those with E320CDIs probably think that the E300's are sleds. jnc...... 99 E300. 99 Boxster. 70 914/6.
