Check it out! 1991 300CE

Springbok · 11-10-2008, 12:33 PM

Hello,

I am new to these forums, I just bought my first car, and it's a 300CE. I love it so far, check out the album!

My 1991 300CE (W124) - Link

Read the descriptions and let me know what you think, did I get a bargain?

The good:

(Almost) Everything works
Power everthing
No rust
Beautiful coat of paint
No stains/marks/spills/smoke in interior
Near-New condition
Got it for only $4000 and spent another $2000 on it
Same owner for 16 years, then 1-year owner, then I bought it
Just over 100,000 k on the odometer
Excellent heating and A/C
21 MPG

The bad:

Windshield cleaner motor inoperable
Passenger-side seat belt feeder broken
Rear window seal broken, but no noise or temperature loss

The Ugly:

Slight sun-damage on rear seats (brittle plastic)
Small chips in paint near wheel wells
Small crack in dash trim
Key marks near driver's side keyhole

Couldn't get any better for less than ten grand.

Looks like a really nice car, minted out etc. You will love it for years to come, however, its not a car to invest in. It makes me shudder when I see how undervalued these cars are in the states. I wouldn't go as far as saying you couldn't get any better for $10K, that's a lot of money. I don't think any W124 unless genuine AMG or a 500E would fetch over $10k which is still very undervalued in my opinion. Enjoy your W124, they are in my opinion one of the most rewarding cars to cruise in.

The paint looks excellent. That's my favorite W124 color.

What a nice looking ce - love the caramel camel palamino interior.

Great first car - hopefully it will make you an even greater fan of the marque.
