i got my 1989 300E about 3 years ago (my first car ever) and it was in mint condition! it ran like a brand new car, clean inside & out and it still is! only problem ive had with it is with the sparkplug cables which i changed about 6 months ago & an electric problem that comes & goes... no one can find the problem but i think i found it its some cable underneath the dash on the drivers side. other than that the car has ran perfectly! dont know how many miles it has since the mile thingy doesn't work. when i got it it had 114k and it still does! hahaha great car! still driving my first car and will be driving until it gives out on me...
