1998 E-300 TD for Sale

One owner 306,000 miles. Oil changed every 5,000 miles
Clayed and waxed by hand, 4 times/year.
This car was picked up in Germany on an European Delivery,
driven through Germany and Austria, and delivered to the USA.

Her name is Heidi, and I'm offering her up for $4,000.00
She lives near Conroe. Texas, about 45 miles North of Houston.
She has 2 badges, European delivery, and the first high mileage
badge. She'll earn her next high mileage badge in another 50K miles.

She had always been garaged, and always had her "B" service
performed every 15,000 miles. Everything on her works flawlessly.

Sadly submitted, but wife wants a new Mercedes...
(936) 856-3784

She looks like a gorgeous car. If my timing were better I'd be buying her, best of luck with the sale.

She's quite the gem. She grew up on this forum. Thanks Jeff.

Gorgeous! Mine has 330K with a new paint Brilliant Silver paint job and same interior as yours. Has a new top end and timing chain. Still runs better than any car I've had. If I needed another car I'd buy this.

She's the best car I've ever owned, she's just gotten long in the tooth,
and wife wants a new one. It would be a great college kid car, or short
commuter car.

My best tank was 36.1, 650 miles on a tank. Average fuel economy straight city is 23-25mpg. Mixed 28-30mpg. I have a properly timed, properly maintained fuel system on both W210s.

The best I ever got in her was 36 mpg. Diesel had gone up to $4.75 and I drove her 55 mph to and from work. Generally she gets 30 mpg as most of my driving miles are highway.

I kinda got all choked up on the pictures as I just sent my '99 TD to the bone yard just 5 months ago. Your car looks awesome and is good deal at $4000 considering it never missed a service. Curiosity is getting the better of me however - may I ask what is the piece of paper wedged between the steering wheel and the lower dash?

HAHAHA, good catch! Wife stuffed it there. It's a leather smelling thing they give out in the carwash.

Never missed a service, and never missed an oil change. It is and was an awesome car. I wish I had a 4 car garage. If I did, I wouldn't have it for sale.

More pics. I'd sure love for one of you to get this car, but given another week, she'll
go on Craigslist.

I waited too long to change out glow plugs the last time. My mechanic had to pull the head and drill the glow plugs out. Apparently, they can mushroom and they won't come out.

That's all for the engine, and the trans has never needed repair.

I really wanted a 98. That's the first year for the turbo OM606 in this country. But now I just found out that 98 and later diesel cars have to be smogged out here. Missed it by one year! That would stick me with a 97, but those weren't turbo, unless someone got it direct from Europe as you did. So I guess I need a Euro market 97 turbo (like that's going to happen).

GLWTS!
