I have also read on those sites that the 1993 is a much better car, because it keeps mentioning head gasket failures on the 1992 and older models. So I am guessing that the 2.8L is the good engine? It actually gives the 93 300E 2.8L a 5 out of 5 reliability rating and all of the consumer ratings of this year was good. I would like to hear a little more about this car. I have also went to their website and discovered that they claim that the car has ALL books and service records.
Here is a photo of the car from their ad. It says $5995, but they have reduced their cars $1000.
Thanks again.

For that price of $4995.00 I think it's a pretty good buy, at least compared to what I paid for mine a couple of months ago. It's a 1993 300E with a 2.8 engine, bought for $8000.00 in Southern CA.
The interior is great condition, but soon after I bought it, I had to change to water pump, which was not cheap!!
The former owner had changed the wiring harness so that was another major expense I was spared of.
The car just started to surge at idle, so I may be lookinng at another major expense (I'll have to let the holidays go by before I can afford to do that!!!).
Otherwise, I enjoy the ride, very comfortable, quick enough and gets decent gas mileage. It's not bad looking either, just like the car you're looking to buy. It's not a very powerful car, but I was not lookoing for that from a sedan.
Good luck!
