1990 Mercedes-Benz 300-ClassReview

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! |

Fit For Royalty — This car is still a good looking and driving car for its age. I think when you add up all the pros and cons the pros outweigh the negatives. Parts are plentiful and most are affordable. These go for more than 2-3 hundred thousand miles easily. Pros: A great deal of car for the money Cons: Some repairs can be pricy but overall it is a great car to own and drive. |

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. Pros: Tank-like build quality, reliable, comfortable Cons: Dodgy climate control system |

Gorgeous Car! — This car looks awesome. I love the classic Mercedes exterior, but in a coupe! The interior is traditional Mercedes, but with a bit of added luxury. Great choice of materials. Nice strong engine. Good road feel and gives you much confidence. Handles well for an older car. Great visibility! A few expensive repairs were needed, which always decreases the enjoyment. Pros: This is such a great looking car. I love the body style - classic. The interior looks great in the traditional Mercedes way. Easy to drive and has quite a bit of power for an older car. I've pushed her to 135 mph and she had a bit more to go. Smooth at high speeds and leaves you with a feeling of confidence. Extremely comfortable seats. Cons: Well, where do I start? The transmission shifts hard and now has trouble getting from first to second and second to third. The paint stinks - smoke silver color isn't very good looking and has some worn through spots. Gas mileage is on the low side |

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. Primary Use: Family transportation Pros: This is the last Mercedes-Benz big body sedan Cons: I hate nothing about these cars, reliability, safety, ease of repair, and a great ABS system make this car a joy to own. |

??? — Remember your not buying this car for its power...Its giving me over 20 MPG. Both the interior and exterior are in excellent condition. I have put in a rebuilt tranny less then 7000 miles upper and lower ball joints passenger side, new tires head gasket seal, rear shocks, rebuilt and recharged A/C, this is by far one of the cleanest 300's for this year you ll ever see!! Primary Use: Commuting to work Pros: appearance Cons: not a whole lot of power |

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. But the suspension is not softer as the Masterpiece generation, but still convenience fro everyday driving. The interior is very luxury, with electric seat, leather seat and automatic transmission, makes this car is the most luxury European sedan in 90's era. and the most important is this type of Mercedes Benz use conventional engine (less electrical) makes it easy to maintain. Primary Use: Commuting to work Pros: powerful, luxury interior, fun to drive, easy maintenance. Cons: Low mileage of gasoline (because of its conventional engine). |

Awesome Head Turner — I loved everything about this car except for the cost of gas and the type of gas needed for it to run properly. This vehicle had the build quality that made it something I was proud to own. Mercedes knows how to make a vehicle! Primary Use: Commuting to work Pros: Refined luxury |

Its A Mercedes. What Can You Expect? — acceleration isnt that great until you get up to about 3 or 4k rpm, then itll suprise you. brakes good considering the size and weight of the car. rides like a caddie but corners like a lancer. amazing build quality, everything is solid. looks kinda laid back, nothing sporty or anything. lots of leather and elegance on the inside. mileage isnt too bad, supposed to get about 22 mpg, havent had a chance to check it yet, but its around there. its a great driver, seems to always want to go faster Primary Use: Commuting to work Pros: good image? Cons: cost to insure and all that |
