Looking at a 97 e300d, some questions.

I am looking at a 97 e300d 130k, and are the issues with it. He is asking 8k.

Rear diff moist but does not drip. Catalytic convertor cover rusty but exhaust itself is fine. No exhaust leaks. Driver sideview mirror foggy. Remote key just fell apart. Outside temperature monitor not giving accurate readings.

What would a new mirror cost, and is the dealer the only guy that i can get a replacement remote from? how much hassle would the temp monitor be?

Are there any major Issues other than the spring perches (which he said have been inspected and are completely rust free) on a 97 model? I know it has the 4speed in stead of the 5 speed, but other than that i don't know what else to ask about.

Ohh, and the rear diff. is draining the diff, and resealing procedure any different from a w123?


Any help would be appricated.

I replaced the mirror on my car and as I remember, the reflective surface was about $100. Either from fastlane or maybe ********az I think. It's a little tricky to replace but not too hard.

The '97 should be the 5 speed. My friend had one and it was the reason I sought and purchased my '98.

Do you mean this car?

There's also a '99 for a great price here:
