This Mercedes has Effortless power, sophisticated technology, elegant styling inside and out.
"Engineered like no other car in the world."
For decades that was the Mercedes motto. But under the onslaught of new competitors from Japan and a surging BMW, the company in the early 1990s moved away from the cold rationality implied by that slogan and toward a warmer, and perhaps fuzzier, image of itself. Judging by this spanking-new E300, however, we don't think anyone told the engineers about the change.
Although the car is8years old, it still drives like new. Having clocked 130,000 miles, the engine still has a lot of oomph... drove to the Lake District and the car's engine power could be felt on gradients where other cars struggled... the turbo diesel 3000 cc is a very powerful engine, and when it came out it was the quickest diesel.
These cars are easily capable of doing over 500,000 miles without major issues with the engine, provided the body does not rust away. I love mine, as I have maintained it with a specialist.
Pride, so they say, comes before a fall. That motto pretty much sums up Mercedes' fall from grace at the turn of the millennium.
We'll leave the fine detail to the automotive historians, but nobody - not even Mercedes - disputes the Chrysler alliance went badly wrong. Coincidentally or otherwise, a nosedive in Mercedes quality kicked in shortly after the 1998 merger/takeover, blighting Benzes for years after. Indeed, many Merc diehards have foresworn the brand for ever as a result of their experiences in the early 2000s.
This week's Shed, a W211 E300 Turbodiesel, was born in that troubled year of 1998. Fear not, though. By the looks of it, this one came off the line before the accountants replaced 'only the best' on the material procurement sheets with 'Borat grade'.
Superseding the oblong-headlamped W124, the four-light W211 was launched in 2003, facelifted in 2007, and succeeded by the more slope-fronted W212 in 2011. This classic three-boxer reeks of respectability and solidity. It is a saloon, full stop. The only hatch you'll find here is a square hole grudgingly cut into the middle of the back seat for ski toting.
Even before the Chrysler debacle, Mercedes electrics were showing signs of weakness, so the best W211 Sheds are the ones with the lowest toy count.
As you'd expect, it does have automatic climate control, which can fail, as can diesel injectors and glowplugs. A weird one to look out for is the transmission cooler housed inside the radiator, perhaps not the smartest piece of engineering design in M-B's history.
But can't you just taste the potential smugness of being behind the wheel of such a beast for under a grand? For a feel of what you'd be in for, here's a video walkround and 0-60 run up the road in an American one of the same vintage.
As you can see, hear, and possibly even feel depending on the quality of your speakers, that 3.0-litre TD lump isn't the last word in refinement, but you can expect 30mpg-plus, 135mph and 0-60 in under Sevenseconds - all very decent numbers.
Digital images can flatter to deceive, but those shutlines look bankvault-tight and there's no sign of wheelarch or wing rust. OK, so it's not an estate, and the wheels will need a refurb, but once that's done you're all set with a one-owner, low mileage, Mercedes exec from the good old days (just), with FSH, a semi-desirable reg number.
There is No Rust on the vehicle. A Southern Vehicle from the Sun Shine State

The Mercedes E-Class is quite likely the very finest Sedan ever made.
The E320 BLUETEC is visual poetry parked in your garage, and poetry in motion while driven.
Driving the E320 BLUETEC (DIESEL) one learns what it must feel like to be a deity when freed from the shackles of place and time and the cares and worries that haunt ordinary drivers.
The E320 BLUETEC (DIESEL) engine runs without sound or vibration at idle and normal speeds. It has more power than even the largest military Hummer, yet when pushed merely makes a slight whooshing sound while objects from afar get very big very fast and evaporate in your rear view mirror almost instantly. Shifting through the gears the E320 BLUETEC(DIESEL) gives no jerking forward and back, but instead offers continuous, unbroken smooth acceleration more like a silent turbine jet engine. The E320 BLUETEC(DIESEL)'s ground speed exceeds the speed at which aircraft lift off, and ten E320 BLUETEC(DIESEL) have more power than a locomotive with a lot less weight and noise.
While moving the E320 BLUETEC(DIESEL) reminds one that it costs over five times what a normal Sedan does not by excess, but by the absence of all the little noises, inconveniences and compromises of lesser cars. As many world religions have noted, pleasure and Heaven are not obvious pleasures, but the complete lack of unpleasantness.
Driving the E320 BLUETEC(DIESEL) is salvation. Behind the wheel your life is perfect.
The E320 BLUETEC(DIESEL) is a masterpiece of beauty, power, smoothness, safety and convenience which cannot be put into words by any living poet. The rest of this is all technical. Other SUV occasionally can offer better performance on paper in one aspect or another, but always at the expense of something else at which the E-CLASS continues to excel. The rest of this cannot possibly convey the pleasure received from owning an E320 BLUETEC(DIESEL) . I present the rest of these facts for my personal reference after having researched them
INTRO:
I've owned Mercedes and BMW's for years. They are strong, durable and get great mpg. Well it is a true fact that the older German cars are easier to maintain and less cost compared to the new ones. Back in the 90's to own one of these fine German cars you either have to be rich, old, or a drug dealer if you were my age back in the day. Everybody knows during that time if you owned a Mercedes or BMW, you had money and in that time of era cars wont even close to a Mercedes and BMW. Even Lexus was no where to being close to design and style. 20 years ago most cars were cheaply made but Mercedes and BMW were always Over Engineered during that time.
This E320 BLUETEC(DIESEL) needs nothing for inspection runs and drives great (will go anywhere).
WILL PASS EMISSIONS AND state inspections
tires in good shape 90%
No CEL engine lights on the dash
Starts the first time
