Alright, I'm thinking the general concensus will be to sell my beloved 300e, as the list of problems is rather lengthy...The car has 222k miles...
Where to begin? Lets start with mechanical problems- The trasmission is rough, shifting from second to third can be a little clunky if you dont do some pedal work. There is a never ending coolant leak. It is just infront of the engine block, to the left. I've had a shop im on very good terms with replace hoses twice. Don't know what it is, but i cant drive for more than about 15 minutes before it starts smoking. This eliminates most all highway driving, I just use it to get to campus and back mostly. Heater dosnt work, but this dosn't much phase me. It also makes a gurgling noise. I thought the drain might be plugged with something, but i cant find it. Engine leaks oil, but not at a very fast rate. I need to top it off every month or two. Still... The power stearing makes a good loud moan/whine when making turns in excess of 45 degrees. This is just annoying... The interior isnt in great shape either. Two of the door handles have been ripped off, one with the panel ripped off with the handle. One of the doors dosn't unlock, and you can only lock the car from the passengers side or the trunk. Now all of these things considered, the exterior of the car is in great shape... I'm wondering if its worth the few thousand dollars to fix it.. what 3-4k? Hrmmph. Any ideas? The car is only worth mebe 1k or 1.5k... soo i duno. I'm looking to get a 99' e320 hand me down within a few years, but i am still kinda attached to my 300e... Thanks guys! |
