My son has had his 300e for 5 1/2 years and I think together we are going to upgrade him. Target is October something...

First of all it has 213k miles on it. and the paint is faded on the hood and top..nice on sides. So you can quit reading if this is of no interest.

This has been an amazing car.... sure we have done stuff to it, rubber, fan clutch, water pump, and other nitpicky things. It hasn't been to a shop since we' ve owned it.

I got it from a guy in South Florida after haggling with him for months. At the time it had 147k miles on it.. but wait... it just had the A/C completely rebuilt (i have 3200 in receipts) and the head had been done and the transmission rebuilt just before he got it....

I simply won't part this car out. It has to go to someone. We are probably going to sell it in the 1200 range. I will have to take out the euro headlights and replace them with stock. But it will have nice updated rims, and nearly news michelins on the back...and michelins that are fair on the front.

It gets it's fluid changes regularly. We are fanatical about that. I believe the drivers rear window does not go down..and the front passenger is closed, but to get it up to snuff, it needs to be adjusted.

The car color is black/blue with grey tex interior.

It is currently located in Greenville, South Carolina, but he is going to drive it here to the West Palm Beach area sometime in October... at that time I will update it.. I do have to check out the ball joints...they seem fine, but we haven't done them. I have a complete list of what we have done.

You are to be commended for refusing to part the car out. I wish more so called "enthusiasts" would take that stand.

We are getting closer to finding another car. So this one can go on the market within a couple of weeks. The only addition is a new alternator, not rebuilt. Car now has about 215k on it, running well.... paint worn on hood and roof. pics available

Car is in Greenville, SC

2.6 engine.... extensive records, over-maintained by owners... real nice people


needs motor mounts and possibly o2 sensor..... will probably do the sensor and plugs anyway...

Nice!
Also nice to see you folks didn't give in to the temptation to go newer. I really can't see owning an MB that is newer than 95 at the latest. The reliability just isn't there after 95. I could be forced to tolerate a C63 though.
You need to change your sig now!

can't go newer than a 95.... it's just getting tough to find older ones in pristine shape.
