I have been thinking about this 1992 300E 3.0 liter (NO 4Matics) and wondering if it is a good investment. Maybe you guys can make better judgement. As far as I know, this is the information I obtained from the original owner.
- one owner
- low 49k miles
- no accidents, clear title
- white exterior, blue interior, excellent body
- garaged since new for 10 yrs until the owner moved to another house without garage.
- Major tune up recently at 48.5k miles that includes:
Two New Rear Tires MXV4+ Auto Transmission Fluid Change Differential Fluid Change Replaced Spark Plugs New Wire Set New Distributor Cap New Rotor Oil and Bosch Filter Change Fuel Filter Change Replaced Air Filter Flushed Brake Fluid Flushed Coolant Replaced Four Brake Pads
The owner seems pretty honest and told me the following known problems:
- A/C not working even though AC condenser has been recently replaced.
- some minor cracks on the wood trim around the shift area
- driver power seat has some random minor movements
I am not sure how expensive it is to fix the first two problems. I can bear the minor cracks on the wood trim. I have test drove the car. It is, otherwise, in very clean good condition. Still has lots of power. The leather still smells fresh. Am I paying too much?
