There are many 1986-89 300E's with over twice that mileage that still serve as daily drivers around here.

Thanks, sounds good.
I suppose key for me would be finding out what this particular specimen might need insofar as repair/maintenance. After all, it's a 25 year old car... Cheers.

Bingo.

They make excellent snow cars with the right tires.

How big is the trunk in a 300E? Big enough to do some hauling? Does the back seat fold down to carry other things, lengths of lumber etc? The other car I am looking for as a daily driver is a Volvo 240, preferably wagon but a sedan would probably be ok too.

There is a fuel tank standing in between the trunk and the back seat, so no long lumber unless sticking out the window. The trunk is pretty big; enough for 4 sets of clubs.

The passenger front seat back reclines all the way down so you can get quite a bit in there, an lots of room in the back seat area too. Not a wagon or a truck so no full size plywood but you can get a few 2 x 4s in there.
