Some of you guys are scaring the **** out of me! I just bought a 1993 300E from a very reputable MB garage that also sells used MB's. They have maintained the car since selling it to the previous owner in 2001. It has had a full valve job, heah gasket, radiator, wiring harness, brakes, etc. I felt very comfortable buying this car as a daily driver that would give me 100k trouble free miles; after reading some of these posts I'm not so sure.
