Auto gear changes a little slow when cold. Runs perfectly when warmed up.
Thermostat needed change - second one during the last 4 years.
Outstanding comfort and security.
Nimble despite size.
Quality is very durable.
I am considering buying a 1990 make 300SEL and would like your comments or advice on following :
1) What are some critical checks that I must make before purchase of this car?
2) What magnitude maintenance cost per year?
3) What is the running cost of the car for normal usage on Singapore road?
4) Does the car take 95R gasoline fuel given the rising fuel prices?
