Thumbs up Thanks for the feedback!!!

Thanks for the quick feedback, its a good sanity check. For a moment I was very exited about the car but you guys are right. The car is at the stealership so I doubt they will fix anything and likely...

Question '99 300TD worth it? how much to pay?

A dealer in town has a '99 300TD with 74k miles and they want $16k for it. The car is nice and looks sharp, but it does have some issues.

It is black with gray MB-text interior. Upholstery is OK,...

don't get mad

Hi Jury, don't get mad but my '86 300E looked cleaner than that. You need to really clean that interior, there are grime smudges all over the place (in the seats, carpets, lower dash, pretty much all...

maybe you don't need to

From your description it sounds plausible that the dash control unit may be faulty. Try looking at that first before going for the vacum servos behind the dash (that is the long expensive job). If...

Great post...
Also consider that you can do it from the top with no need to jack the car up and take the fender liner out. Takes about 1.5 hours with chitchat and drinks. If you have a long and...

Re: Euros

I am not very familiar with the different types.
The 500E lights are a different type all together as they have driving lights where the other models (300-400 E's) have the fog lamps, and instead...

Re: headlight doors?

It is the plastic part of the headlamp (US DOT version) that houses the fog lamps, that probably looks brittle with lots of tiny cracks. New ones will not have all those tiny cracks and will actually...

No accidents, I have printouts off all repairs or sevices made at the dealer (life of car), plus I have all my receipts from all services done since I own the car. I guess I could scan them if you...
