I know how you feel, Jackd.

My 300E has 305,000 Km on the clock and lately I had been trying to decide whether to spend a grand or so to fix her up for another 100,000 Km or sell and get a newer car.

Well, I've decided to keep the car, spend a bit and see if I can't get 400,000 Km myself! This 300E has been a dream as well - absolutely original engine (not even valve stem seals replaced), original tranny, etc. Most recent service was two new tied rods and door check straps. Absolutely 100% reliable and a pleasure to drive.

So I'll spend a bit on touching up the body (minor rust spots), might contemplate a head job, and other than that, I'm hoping for another 100,000 Km....we'll see!

Good luck on your next purchase, it'll be hard to replace her! The W124 chassis has been a dream to work on - the newer ones won't be so easy!
