Ron--- i'll tell you my stories...

4000 for the 1989 300E .... owner provided $3200 in mechanic receipts for a complete a/c redo...down to the hoses... the owner also claimed it had the tranny rebuilt and a new head gasket.. he couldn't provide receipts.. his mechanic confirmed this, but couldn't provide receipts. The story is is that it was a dealers car...and when he couldn't pay to have the head gasket replaced..it was held by the shop..it had 147k when i bought it... i have slowly replaced various rubber components. it was worth every nickel...the only thing that has gone wrong in the last two years is the rear view mirror broke...another member sold me one for 25 dollars. It could use a paint job...it came with nice tint, clk wheels and a nice sound system.. it now has 164k i think... burns less than a quart at 3k. This car seems like a bargain

it's my son's. bought in Miami

i paid 4800 for my 1989 300CE a year and a half ago... it had 122k at the time. it is a sweet ride. I did lose the compressor earlier this spring...and have replaced it along with the drier and expansion valve.. i also replaced the voltage regulator. Various rubber as time permits. I think i will need a fan bearing soon... i have ordered the part. My wife drives this mostly during the week... it now has 142k. We plan to keep this car forever..whatever that means. It does need valve stem seals... and i am likely to rent your tools... i know we have tried to hook up...but it just doesn't work out.

Bought in Nashville

i also paid 3500 for a 300e a few years ago..it was owned by the grandson of the previous owner...it had 110k... it was a nice car ....it got me hooked on the 124's... i got into an with it..and don't carry collision on my cars.. i parted it out for 2200... sad day.... it had a few drippy leaks, but was a nice car...

bought in Charlotte.

These were all cars that didn't meet reserve on Ebay.... i paid the people close to what they wanted, but inspected each vehicle before handing over money.
