1990 Mercedes-Benz 300-Class User Reviews

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.

Primary Use: Family transportation

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.
