1987 Mercedes-Benz E-Class 300E review from North America
"Buy one now!!!"
General comments?
I purchased my 1987 300E from a friend. It has proven to be my favorite car ever. I had to invest 3000.00 USD in a new front suspension and engine work. I have only had to pay for tune ups since. The cars handling while at speed is amazing, and the comfort for passangers is beyond reproach. For the money that many car maker's charge for a new car, to purchase and "make mint" this fine auto, is an investment you will never regret! One hour on the road and you will swear by this model. I have a porsche 914, my weekend car, and this is actually my favorite. Join the Mercedes club in your area, it is a resource of likeminded and generally kind people. Good luck and happy motoring!
All the Best,
James Hunter Davie
