I'm looking for a new (used) vehicle. Must fit into a shortish garage space. So I need to compare length - I have 190" max to play with.

For those who care, an SLC with the 5 MPH bumpers is 200". An ML430 is 188.

The SLC is currently taking over the space formerly occupied by the ML430 - and wife will not be happy when she tries to fit the ML430 into its new home.

Alternatively, can anyone easily check the length of a 300CE, 300E, E430 and 560SEC?

I suppose buying a car by length is as good a way to pick one as any. Almost as good as by color.

Thanks
Al

In a pinch, you can take a tape measure with you.
You won't be the first one, to take one with you to the lot.
At 17', the SEL I used to have, was a bit on the longish side.

I was worried about the same thing when we bought the W210 wagon. I found this site had all kinds of great info, including car length:

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks.

BTW, ignore my earlier note re: ML. It is 180.6 long, not 188.
