1991 Mercedes-Benz S-Class 300SE Classic review from Hong Kong
"A luxury bargain with great reliability"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Only regular service required.
Oil change, transmission oil change, engine flushed, added Slick50, clean fuel injector.
Replaced brake pads.
General comments?
This is a great car, the last year of the W126 with over built engineering and it still drives like new.
It is extremely comfortable on the highway. This is more of a highway cruiser than a stop and go traffic. If you drive gently, the fuel economy is great for a Benz S-Class. The interior is still like new, the quality is better than the new Benz.
If you take care of this car with regular maintenance, this car will last for ever.
