1990 300SEL- have good engines? 85 380SE (require chain replacements?)

Before reading this original thread, read the last "updated" thread.... as this original thread was typed 5 years ago.... LOL.




I am not sure what all years this engine was used, but I am wondering if these are good engines in these cars. I am considering a very nice local 1990 300SEL, with 99K original miles- 1-owner, ALL records available for $4900.

I am guessing it is an inline 6-cylinder? Do these engines also require timing chain replacements like the V8?

Can someone verify this- someone with a 85 380SE I am interested in said that the 85' and older engines do not require timing chain replacements like the 86+ V8s do. Is this true?

Thanks!!
