If you open the images in Microsft Paint (look under accesories) and resave them with a different file name, you'll get the file size way down there.

Where is this car?

Dave, stumbled across this...Damn thats a nice car! Musssst biiiiid Ebay ! Won't win it, but damn thats nice. How to justify..Daughter gets the 300E in two years, my mom could use it meanwhile, then I get it. Plus you're almost in my backyard (northern DE).... Ok, I'm better now but still must bid on principle. Good luck with the sale.

what's the difference between your E300 and a Special Edition?

The Special Edition W124 E300 diesel and E320 cars have burl wood trim instead of Zebrano, different wheels (5 hole wheels instead of 8 hole), and only came in a few colors.

so it's just an appearance package? Thanks for the reply.

Yes, it was a package to move out the end of model line 124 E320’s and E300’s before the new 210’s rolled in- burl wood, special paint, phone, CD changer, memory seats, ss door sills, 5 hole wheels. The car I found also has leather, ASD, heated seats, and wipers, so I think that it's an E300 with every option one could order in the USA.

Does that make it a rare, high value collectable automobile? Not exactly….

Well, here we go with ebay one more time. Item #200175471376. (the reserve is $8,900, but don't tell anyone).

$10,500 is WAAY high for that car.

Car is worth what someone will pay...

With that said, I wouldn't pay it

FWIW, I sold mine this weekend for $12k. Granted, it only had 67,800 miles (no options though).

Yes, Skid Row, $10.5K is a big number, but that was then, and not what the reserve on ebay is NOW. Check post #11 for the obvious clue for what I'll accept. I too know of two E300's with 100K miles or so that really sold for $11k and $11.5K. We'll see what happens with my 150K miles car. Happy Thanksgiving!
