I'll assume you're talking about the 88-91 model 300-SEL; not the one made 30 yrs. ago. I bought a beautiful '91 300-SEL in 1997 with 35K on the clock. It now has 65K and to date, I've had zero problems. Fluid/filter changes are a breeze. The car features an M103 6 cyl engine and plugs are also easy to change. The 88-89 models had weak valve guides/seals(so I'm told). They leak oil out around the distributor area and some leak out the rear of the engine(head gasket). The guide/seal issue could cost you $1500.00 if it needs to be done. In my opinion, the 300-SEL is a fine car. Regards. Mike Murrell '91 300-SEL Boerne, Texas |

300 SEL Response to Mike Murrell
Mike,
I am considering buying 300 SEL right now ... black on black. Very low mileage (68K) ... so, I am suspicious, but if all turns out OK, what would you think it is worth? George george.stephenson@trw.com |
