1987 Mercedes-Benz W124 300E review from Australia and New Zealand
"Great Value Luxury"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The automatic antenna broke.
There is some minor wood panel cracking around the dash.
General comments?
I cannot believe what great value these cars are.
I did my research and read some impressive reviews about the 300E and drove a couple.
It is very quick and solid.
Fuel consumption is not bad.
It handles beautifully.
You cannot hear the engine when standing at the traffic lights.
It is a beautiful looking car with excellent paint work.
