1992 300E 4 matic possible buy?
I am looking at a 1992 300E 4 matic with 160,000 miles, the only problem is that the transmition will not go into reverse. He said it drives great just no reverse, and he wants $1000.00 firm. My question is, do you think this a easy fix or is the whole trany on the way out? The car looks like it is in good shape, 2 new tires, new stereo. Thanks for all of your help. Also how much would a rebuilt trany cost me?

Depends....
Go to the dealer or do it yourself? You can get rebuilts online for around $1300-1500 Double to triple that for a indy or dealer job. Not a bad deal on the car, but not a great deal either. Jim

A 160k mile 4 matic with a bad transmission would have to be in absolutely terrific cosmetic condition to have a value above 0.

Its a $500 car with a bad trans if its in good shape, the early 4matic system sucked.

someone told me that no reverse on the transmission!! The transmission must need to take it out for repair!!
Early 4 matic cars!! The transmission should be different, which compares to regular W124 RWD. $1000 for an bad transmission 4 matic... since little expensive.....because fixing a transmission may costs over $2500,. |

Oh, didn't notice the 4 matic before.
Revised answer: Pass, unless you can get it cheap enough to make it a parts car, say $500 or less. Remember, with today's scrap steel prices, it's worth $200 at the crusher. Jim

I looked at the car today and I am going to pass on that one, to many things wrong. Thanks for all your help.

I bought a 1986 300E today and I love it. Great shape, but very dirty.

Car wash, armor-all, wax, etc.... that's cheap.
Enjoy, hope it cleans up nicely! I have an '88 300E I'm in love with, just got it about a month ago. Funnest/most pleasurable car I've ever owned. |

Is your car rusting at the jack holes? Mine is and I want to do something about it and looking for some ideas.

No, mine doesn't have a speck of rust anywhere thank goodness.
Do you have any pics, of the rust and of the entire car? What color/interior/etc? Details man!! |
