1990 Mercedes-Benz 300-Class User Reviews

The W124 chassis is possibly one of the greatest in Mercedes Benz history. The 300CE is the epitome of understated luxury, incredibly comfortable, happy and stable at high speeds, and very pleasing to drive in town. The shape and interior are timeless and this is a car that will always look good. Find one with maintenance records so that you’re not sinking a lot of money into deferred maintenance. I absolutely love driving this car. I purchased mine in Kansas City- drove it to a business meeting in Louisville KY, and then drove it home to Atlanta. 1,126 miles in 3 days and the Mercedes was a champ. If you find a good one, don’t think twice and make it yours!

One Of The Best Cars Ever — I owned a 1990 300E from Sep. 2011 to Dec. 2012. I bought the car with around 220,000 miles and though it was far from perfect due to age and mileage I have never been more impressed by a vehicle and I have owned a few Bimmers also. The build quality and sheer durability of almost every component of this car still blows my mind. The doors shut with a vault-like slam of solidity. Everything looked, felt, and smelled of high quality even after 22 years. I replaced a window regulator, heater blower fan, few suspension components, and maybe a few other small things. Car handled very well with the classic big Benz spring-loaded cloud type feel. This is an incredible car on the highway. Words just are not enough. If only they still made them like this, I would buy another in a heartbeat.

Buy One If You Can Find One :) — We found this car the same day it had been traded in at a Mercedes dealer; they hadn't even cleaned it yet. It is a Japan LHD import, with 47,000 original miles (which is RIDICULOUSLY low), a Webasto engine oil heater, heated seats, the original Becker radio, and a flawless interior. Needless to say we snatched this sucker off the lot before the dealer knew what hit him. A couple of spark plug wires, a tube of grease, a window regulator, and a windshield washer pump later, this car is the most reliable we own and drives like it just came off the lot. It has the bulletproof Mercedes-Benz M103 engine with no oil leaks, and an idle that will pass the quarter test. I learned to parallel park in one of these....They may lumber a bit, and yes the gas mileage is never wonderful, but this is the best riding/driving highway cruiser I have ever driven.

Mercedes Benz 230e 1990 — This car is the member E-Class type of Mercedes Benz, thus no doubt for its luxury and convenience. This car has 2.3L 4 cylinder engine which is very powerful.
