New guy with a 'new' 1988 300E

Love it!

Looks clean! How's it run?

.....has a minor leak at the head gasket, what else is new? I'll eventually get it fixed, but for now, heck with it... doesn't leak very much oil at all.

Very clean in and out; the leather is overall in nice shape for 20 years, but is a bit brittle in places and some cracks. No cracks in the dash at all.

Drives like a brand new car, especially nice at about 85mph on the highway, it's a shame I won't normally drive it that way (mostly back and forth to work).

I am in love, it's literally my favorite car I've ever owned.

Thanks -Eric

Other than the A/C, these are very strong cars and relatively easy to work on.
Good luck!

...mine works--though not "ice" cold--as does the heater, but air flow always comes out of the defrogger vents, which as I understand it, means some of the servo pods that distribute air are faulty. I've heard that's a costly fix, so I'm likely to let it go at least for a while.

Just love the car, amazing how a car so old feels like new--the steering wheel has zero play, it accelerates nicely and is so frikking smoooooooth at 85mph, just really nice!

Thanks, -Eric
