I have always admired quality and desired to own a Benz. I spent a lot of time looking at the history of Benz through books and magazines. I chose the 300E for a number of reasons. The straight six is clean and easy to work on, the interior is spartan yet the instrument gauges I think are especially nice. The overall body style is clean and simple. I know this model sometimes has climate control issues and head gasget problems but I know I will probably keep this car far beyond engine rebuilds etc. because I like its overall look. Maybe its resale "value" is low, but it is a Benz and to me it still says quality. I would rather have it than a new Honda or Toyota.
