Just bought this 300SEL about a month ago from the original owner who was friend. It never saw snow or bad weather so it was in great shape. After driving, Park Avenues, Lincolns, Cadillacs and Chryslers I find this the best out of them all. I find myself leaving the new DeVille in the garage and driving this. I cannot believe how quiet this car is and how roomy it is. We just got back from a day trip with friends and they couldn;t get over how quiet the interior is and how no road noise could be heard inside. After a couple of hours of driving none of us were horse from trying to talk over the road noise you get from most cars. I definitely plan on keeping this car for a long time.

I have had 10 Mercedes Benz autos. I now have a 1983 380 SL roadster. Great car. Put $7,000.00 into it but bought it right. No rust, one owner, woman. One can say what they want but I prefer to buy from a female. They mostly are easier on cars then males. I replaced air conditioner system, stablelizing bars, middle muffler, timing chains, ALL maintanence, tranny tune up, plugs, radiator flush, new brak fluid, etc. I am into car for $ 13,000.00. This is a classic model. Great buy. Offered $17,000.00 more then once. NOT FOR SALE. GREAT RIDE. Just bought a 1990 300 SEL, 6 cylinder, straight job. What a TANK. Great find. Did mechanical work, will need new paint 119,999 k, low mileage, no rust, happened to be owned by a woman also, lol. As I said I have had 10 mercedes, this 300 SEL has a feel all it's own. Not a slow car either. When I drive this car, I feel like I have a new out of showroom car. EVERY TIME. A great old school BENZ. The older Mercedes were put together by the engineers first. Then they told the accounts to price them. Today although they are still great cars, the accountants tell the engineers , here is your budget. Skim if you must. Any way I have had many fun filled years with my Mercedes Benz rides. Happy Motoring.

I bought this new in 1990 and have had minor repairs done to it. The antifreeze tank cracked and fixed that and the radiater cracked and was fixed. This car I relied on for 12 years and still is running. I took it to Massachusetts from Connecticut about 10 times and worked great!
Love It !!!!

I bought this car from an acquaintance. It has 72,000 miles and is impecable shape, inside and out. Actually looks like a three-year old car. I had a 1984 380 SEL when I was younger and could not afford the repairs. Luckily, I can afford them now, because the costs can rack up. Anyway, I think this is the best-looking MB sedan in the last 30 years. One of my partners, who has a 2001 S420, agrees.
Great Car!

I bought my 1990 Mercedes-Benz 300SEL new in 1990. I have had to repair the antifreeze tank and radiator. I have heard about others having the same problem. I love driving it and it runs like it's brand new. When it was new for about five years, my wife, kids and I used to take it up to Cape Cod and never had any problems. Now that I have a Chevrolet Suburban, I don't drive it as often, which is why it only has 42,000 miles on it! We all occasionally take it out for a quick spin to see my parents or go to the supermarket. I am very pleased with it and love it very much.
