Hey guys, I was thinking of a picking up a beater just for my short commute to work and to beat around town, keep miles off the new Jeep and the Vette. My friends just got this '89 MB 300E in from another shop in a deal. The car has been meticulously maintained. It's had only 1owner and the shop it came from did all the service after the dealer. Interior is clean and the body is straight, only the paint has some fading. Under the hood it looks new, no leaks. My friend is asking $1200 but will replace all 4 shocks, floats like a boat right now, and will recharge the ac. I heard these 3.0L (m103) inline 6 motors are bulletproof. Anyone have any experience with these cars? Opinions? Oh and the car has 170k mi but runs really good. Fires right up and shifts nice and firmly too.
