Love My Mercedes

i purchased this Mercedes in 2006, and it has 204,000 miles on it and I love the solid feel that you get in driving a Mercedes. I used to own nothing but Japanese cars. The German engineering is impeccable, this car has been very reliable. I see why this car was $53,900. 17 years later, still running strong, I see a lot of them still on the road, they are truely, classy cars and they keep their value, so that should tell you something!

Purchased in 1996 off a trade-in from a 5 year lease. This was the best deal I ever made. With low mileage 32k miles and in great condition. It is now May 2003 and I have had the car for 7 years and still love it. I have driven from New Jersey to Miami 5 times with no problems. It has only needed the standard maintenance specified by the book. A great car!

This is a Tank , nothing more nothing less - It was $55,000 new in 1991 M103 Engine 3.1 Litre 6 cylinder Straight 6 Gas automobile. Fuel injected , W126 one ECU - no new type tech stuff... just Air Bags in those days and ABS.. This is a great car - no good in SNOW without Snow tires... The car never dies Period. I have 185,000 miles on it. Even the doors feel like doors... I have had many Jaguars and I am not convinced this is and was a Better car when it was New, compared to the XJ6 and XJ12 I used to swear by.. Sorry Limeys... the Germans out did you back then. I have to see probably the suspension is ahead of its time...open your eyes and look at the linkage for the suspension... Ahead of its time !! I wish they still made this NEW but those days are over and its a Sunday Driver for me ! Wife hates it !! so thats a plus...She has a toyota... .Oh you can get 560 SEL but its an 8 cylinder longer wheel base.. VERY hard to find here in NY. This is not for high techies...this is now for Collectors and Sunday Driver type car... put me back into a Time machine and I would trade alot to be back in the showroom and BUY or Lease this car. The Jaguar would never last this long...mine never did and I was Brain washed to be sure.. The Germans WIN !!

Bought new in 1991. Car blew head gaskets about every 50,000 miles. I replaced them 3 times. Motor mounts got crushed all the time causing engine to rub on exhaust . Bad water pump. Everything electrical that could break, did break. Horrible, horrible car
