My latest addition - 106k mile 98 E300

Brought over on a trailer having not run in a few months. Got it going in a couple hours and owner let me know he was interested in selling and it found a new home. Actually had anything from 98 to around 08 in mind to pick up this year and this one kinda fell in my lap. Good running/driving car.

Thanks Wayne.

My old '99's twin! Pretty car, Jim.

Wonder if the gansta' tinting is removable?

Nice clean yard you got there now!

I have that exact car, that color too!
Did yours come with the analog cell phone?
If so search my name for a Bluetooth mod thread.

Thanks

It is a pleasure to drive.

With that said , I find that I can get the drivers seat in the 95 E300 more comfortable than the '98.

Lowest mileage car I have purchased since buying an 80k mile '84 300SD back around '05/'06.

I agree. The driver's seat was more comfortable in my '93 300E (3.2) than my E430. The back rest was taller.

Jim's new car is a heck of a fun car to drive too! I can attest to that!

I enjoyed putting 100K on mine it's first several years of ownership from new. My relation in Omaha, Nebraska that now owns the '99 is enjoying the heck out of it as a garage queen / weekend driver.

Didn't get to steal this one. I feel that the price was fair for the buyer and seller.
