1990 Mercedes Benz 300E

Nice higher mile trade. See how this one has aged over the years. Watch it on the highway too

this car is really great and fucking SAFE i am in high school and my dad buyed me a 1990 300e and after a week i was driving home suddenly there was a 2005 toyota avalon going about 80 km and hit me from my side the side window shattered in my face but i swear to god nothing happened to me i highly recommend this car

Perhaps a case of poor maintenance and not knowing how the fuel/electronics work? Maintained properly they are very reliable.

@fight341 I also had an accident with an avalon in high school while driving my 1990 300e. I rear ended the avalon (wet road after it rained). I won. ;D

yeah mercedes makes really great cars, my 1991 190e saved my life. i got in a car wreck on a mountain road and my car was totaled but i got out of the car with only minimal cuts and whiplash. had i been in a shitty honda i would have died. thank you mercedes

@sariglenn The sound does shut off when I turn off the car. It sounds like a small fan motor and its coming from underneath the right speaker of the dash. Its not very loud but very noticeable if I have the ignition in the accessory position. I cant get any a/c component to kick on so I dont know if the noise is a/c related. And thanks very much for responding. Ive tried looking on forums but to no avail.

@sariglenn sounds great!, surely they cant be devastating for the car´s function, but this noise, does it still sound when the car is shut down? because that sounds unfamiliar to me..

[sariglenn]

@coolakiIlen007 I traded for the mercedes and its literally one of the smoothest riding cars ive owned. There is a gas smell and i noticed that the gas cap doesnt seemed to pressurize. Also the brake pad sensor light is on and there is a noise under the right side dash that sounds like a motor running. I cant get it to shut off. It runs constantly. Other than these issues the car has been well preserved inside and out.

@sariglenn Mercedes w124 is the last quality built merc, it has the over engineered engineering which were set to a standard and not to a price. from what i know the (inline) 6 cylinders should be as durable as the 4 cylinders only consume more gas. and as it is an older model and a petrol one, it should be low on insurance and taxes. and ac is a very common problem, especially on the 2 zone climate controle or whatever when there are a lot of buttons instead of "wheels", which are better. :)

I am looking to trade my 1994 3000gt w/144k miles for a 1992 300e 3.0 w/ 160k miles. The owner says the ac blower motor is bad but everything else works. Its a very clean looking car from the pics. I am supposed to go next week and test drive it. He was going to give it to his son but his son wanted a sportscar instead. I notice the values dont hold very well , why?? Can any1 give me insight on the 300 e v6 3.0?
