1991 Mercedes-Benz 300-Class User Reviews

Panzer Tank Build. The Last Of The Real M-bs. — What can I add that hasn't already been written about the iconic W124 Mercedes-Benz? These cars were big, heavy, overbuilt, solid, and would run all day long at 100 mph without batting an eye...unless the local constable wasn't in a good mood. The ride was smooth and luxurious, the power kept on and on, and the parts were ridiculously expensive and you had to know someone named Klaus or Fritz or Hans to get it worked on.

Great Overall Vehicle. — Although I don't have kids nor typically have passengers, I prefer a wagon to an SUV so I can do mobile repairs and have the room to haul my tools without sacrificing mpg. The added benefit is the 4MATIC system since it does snow here at least 4 months out of the year. The added 3rd row seat that folds down with the 2nd row seats for more than enough room for a large jack, jack stands, and tools. If need be, the 2nd row seat splits so you can accommodate an extra passenger while having plenty of storage space. Although dated the 3.0 straight six has plenty of torque, reliability, and accelerates quickly because of the 3.07 or 3.27 (IIRC) differential ratio.

Definitely Worth Owning — Excellent acceleration from 2000rpm, good brakes handles well but it does need small repairs once in a while. I like both the in- and exterior but the exteriour looks kind of boring original, it needs new lights and wheels to achieve its potential :P gas mileage is very good for a 3 liter... about 1,2-1,4liters/10km. parts are expencive from Mercedes but there are a lot of aftermarket parts for the car. Increadibly fun to drive ;)

Drive A Piece Of Automotive History, And Have Fun, Too. Don't Tell Your Friends It's Only Worth 5k. — Decent speed (8.5 0-60, 220 BHP), excellent braking, handling a bit soft on stock springs. No squeaks or rattles. I have replaced a few things only for cosmetic or precautionary reasons, only once necessary (20 yr old alternator, can't blame it) . Classic styling, though some may see it as outdated. US spec lights are ugly, I would suggest buying Euro-spec lights or 94-95 US lights + headlight wiper deletion. Interior is simple, elegant, and comfortable. Very modern for its day. Maintenance next to nothing unless you are really picky and want it to be like new (like me). Gas mileage not great -16-18 mpg in mixed driving, 12-14 when driven hard. Car is faster than the average car on the road, kickdown switch makes the auto-transmission come alive. Driving a piece of history. Lots of fun if the car is in good nick.
