300SE Sedan
RickELake writes:
Excellent S-class — Loved this car for general all-around driving and good gas economy at nearly 20mpg. Exceptional build quality and workmanship. As the only SWB version of the iconic W126 Series, these cars are highly under-appreciated. The better handling and lighter weight makes driving a big sedan fun. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) Pros: The 300SE was the only version of the W126 Series 2 ( 1988-1991 ) that was imported to the US in the short-wheelbase ( 7" shorter than the SEL ); Very good handling and more sporty to drive than the larger wheelbase cars. Cons: 6 cylinder can feel a bit challenged on acceleration 0-40 until you learn how to depress the pedal properly. |

A Good Sturdy Luxury Sedan — This is a very nice driving sedan. I doesn't look that big, but it is. Lots of room inside and a big trunk. So easy to drive - great visibility and gives you a feeling of confidence and safety. Starting to look a bit dated, but this is after 23 years! Seats are very confortable. Primary Use: Family transportation Pros: Good classic styling, great seats, lots of room, easy to drive Cons: Engine needed a valve job at 118K miles. Some of the plastic inside is going bad. Muffler/exhaust system rusted |

300se — great car, rides beautifully and the build quality on these is amazing. Amazing acceleration for a 23 year old car, the braking is excellent for such a large car and the appearence is one of a stately classic car that has aged well. Pros: its 5.2m long with a bullet proof straight 6 Cons: not a lot to be honest, |

If You Find One In Good Shape Like Mine And Have A Slight Neurotic Nature, This Car Is For You. — (1989 300 SE W126 S-Class, short body, 3.0 inline 6.) It's a very comfortable car and everything works. It moves for the most part, but when driving in the mountains, it can be sluggish at times. It handles great for being a big tank and it's reliable as hell. Cruising on a highway is great- very smooth "meaty" feeling. The car is solid. I put $2,000 into it when I bought it, and since haven't had any problems. The interior and exterior are in very good shape, the gas mileage is fine for a car this size. Maintenance is easy- change the oil once a year, add a quart once every two months- no leaks, just burns it up 'cause it's old. Yeah, it's fun to drive- it starts conversations for some reasons. Primary Use: Commuting to work Pros: Handling, quality, luxury, comfort, styling. Cons: Don't be afraid. This is a great car- if you find one that's clean. |
