My Mercedes Benz 300E 1990

April 26th, 2005 | Automotive

Love

  • 90 degree hood opening
  • outside temp gauge (and easily viewable)
  • real gauge (v. idiot light) for H20 temp and oil pressure
  • very easy to work on for most tasks
  • no rattles, squeaks in 14 year old auto
  • refined ride
  • manual driver side mirror
  • great turning radius
  • heated washer fluid
  • lack of electronic reminders for everything(a la’ BMW)
  • a pretty accurate clock (after 14 years)
  • wheel stud locator (in tool kit) makes putting wheels on, even with “kleen wheels” blocking your view, a snap
  • yeah, three pointed star is pretty sweet

Hate

  • arm rest covers always wear out
  • vacuum door locks
  • plastic sun visors that always break or have lights go out
  • plastic parts in engine bay that shatter when touched; due primarily to europe’s recycling craze
  • weak headlights
  • weak factory radio, speakers

    Iya, mesin terbaik, sebelum Mercedes akhirnya melakukan reengineering dalam assemblingnya.

    Iya, mobil yg bagus banget! saya punya 300E Sportline edition 1991 masih bagus banget krn jarang dipake (baru 50ribuan km). real perforated leather dgn electric adjusted chair & krey electric. Mewah deh pokoknya…naikannya aja lebih enak dari naik civic 2007 gua..mantap deh kaga kyk mobil jepang yg melayang kalo lari kenceng di tol..makanya sayang banget kalo dijual..bagus buat modifikasi lagi…TOP!

    Hi!
    Salam kenal.
    Saya baru punya W124 300CE 1989 (dua pintu) setelah beberapa tahun nabung & memimpikannya.
    Saat ini saya pengen merapikan mobil tsb, khususnya bagian interior. Secara umum, ini mobil sangat pantas dikoleksi. Biar tua tapi masih sangat gaya.
    Konsumsi BBM nggak terlalu boros, masih bisa 1:7 dalam kota Jakarta yg macet.
    Happy untuk share, dimana bisa cari bengkel / toko buat ngerapi-in interiornya.

    Salam,
    EBF
