Default Deserion's 1995 Mercedes E320

Picked up this tidy little Mercedes-Benz last week when it looked like my GTI was going to be a loss (my opinion). Turns out the GTI is repairable, and I have this car now, too. Oh well, more the merrier...

It has a few cosmetic issues with it, but the paint is still quite good and mechanically the car is sound. Oddly, even with as large as the car is, I love driving it. Plus, I got it for a steal. Almost literally.

Great looking MB, if that was a 300D I'd be drooling all over it.

NO! I hate you. The facelifted w124 is one of my favorite benzes ever!!!

I'm soo totally jealous. If it was a wagon, i'd have to steal it from you.

Man I wish it was a diesel wagon. But a gas sedan is all I could find, and it's in really good shape to boot.

Haven't named it yet, but it's definitely a keeper.

In the past week, I got some maintenance done (finally):

Oil & filter (Mobil Super 10w40)
Air filter
Cabin filters
Power steering filter (yes, it has a P/S filter! )
Spark plugs (NGK Platinum)
Sunroof seal
Oil cap seal
Hazard flasher switch

That's in addition to:
Headunit (JVC Arsenal)
Headlight switch & knob
Left/rear window regulator

I love driving this car more and more. Sure, it's not quick or as efficient as the GTI was but this has class.



Have more maintenance planned out, including new emblems and all-weather floormats. It's really coming along!
