So far I've had: E320 Coupe '93 Had for 4 years from 95K to 180K, really nice car, smooth engine, fastish without being a sports car. Highly recommended, bargains right now, don't worry too much about miles, but needs to be tight & tidy. Sadly written off in small motorway shunt Oct 05, not much damage but financially didn't make sense to repair. 300TD (Diesel Estate), '89, I bought this as a stop gap whilst I saved up for below. Still have it but off the road at mo. Old school diesel motor, looks like it belongs in a truck. 3.0 but still very slow, but is a very smooth motorway cruiser once up to 80-90mph. I wouldn't by another diesel of this age as it was so sedate. I guess more modern ones are better. E36 AMG Cabrio, finally got my dream car June 07. Mines a little rough round the edges but I'll be keeping this a while. Again not especially quick, but a very pleasant drive. I wouldn't have thought in current market purchase cost would vary much between engines, look for well maintained car. I reckon the best balance between running cost and performance would be a 320 as it's a bit more modern than the 300, but I have no experience of the 300. Welcome to the W124, I'm sure you'll be staying a while.

From 1990 on, the coupes had the twin cam, 4-valve engine, which transformed the car. Sedans had to wait until '93 for the improved engine. But I'd suggest you look for a '93-'95 model as earlier models transmissions started in 2nd gear unless given full throttle. The Sportline option (coupe only) provided lowered body (3/4") wider wheels, shorter/stiffer springs, supportive seats etc. Hard to find, very collectable and well maintained cars will likely appreciate in value. Since you didn't specify a coupe in your query, I'd also consider one of the two 4-valve V-8 sedans: 4.2 litre 400E ('92-'93) E420 ('93-95) or better still, the 5 litre 500E ('92-'93) E500 (1994). Both built in small numbers, they had sport packages available as well. Instant collector cars. To the untrained eye, they look like a 300E sedan, making them stealth bombers. Fun! Good luck, Mike B. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Congratulations on not having just another garage queen. I've just put two back-to-back 4,000+ mile road trips on our coupe, a 1992 300CE Sportline. A flawless ride, with many 12 to 15 hour days in the saddle. We purchased her w/ 90,000 miles in 2001 and have over 180,000 miles now. Very few problems with the 3.0 liter CIS six. BTW, Bob, your coupe is one of only 1,019 300CEs imported into the USA in 1993. And only approximately 20 to 30 of those were Sportlines. A rare car indeed.

Considering the milage I have had little opportunities of repair with it. Things that eventually went were wear related. Wire harnes, etc. I know it is special. Won first prise at the MBNA Jamboree in Popular Coupe. Many drivers glance at the milage after I open the hood and think it reads 32,ooo...Then I ask them to have a seat and start it ...its then that they flip. Yeah, she's special. I have admired your stable as well.

Congratulations on not having just another garage queen. I've just put two back-to-back 4,000+ mile road trips on our coupe, a 1992 300CE Sportline. A flawless ride, with many 12 to 15 hour days in the saddle. We purchased her w/ 90,000 miles in 2001 and have over 180,000 miles now. Very few problems with the 3.0 liter CIS six. BTW, Bob, your coupe is one of only 1,019 300CEs imported into the USA in 1993. And only approximately 20 to 30 of those were Sportlines. A rare car indeed.

I've heard of people in Norway buy left side mirrors from UK to have both mirrors the same size(small and high) and with electrical positioning. So if there are anyone of you sitting on the wrong side and driving that has a spare left mirror with electrical positioning with the whole circuit, I'd like to buy one.

Because of the amount of expressway driving it was not noticible that the alternator was going....but, as I pulled of the expressway she went from a roar to a pout. Fortunately I had AAA Plus and they towed the car back to my home base some 72 miles away at no expense. If you do the job yourself, be aware to double chedk the belt tensionor so as tt make certain it is functioning correctly, as they do require a change out every so often.

And I have never signed up for the W124 list, but from time to time I will start receiving posts frim W124, then after awhile they will stop. When I have atempted in the past to "unsubscribe" from this list, I have been informed that I cannot do so, because I am not subscribed . . .

I have two further questions concerning fuel consumption. Whilst this is not paramount, it is a consideration. Is there much difference between 280,300 &320. or are they about the same. For performance and refinement which is the one to go for. Thank you. Kind regards Jack. _________________________________________________________________ Get a FREE Web site and more from Microsoft Office Live Small Business! http://clk.atdmt.com/MRT/go/aub0930004958mrt/direct/01/ _______________________________________________ W124list mailing list W124list at mbcoupes.com http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/w124list Transam Microsystems Limited 2 Bakers Yard, Bakers Row London, EC1R 3HT Tel +44(0)20 7837 4050 Fax +44(0)20 7837 3804 Web http://www.transam.co.uk Registered in England 1370650 Registered Office As above DISCLAIMER: This email is confidential and may be legally privileged.
