Faults:

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.

Faults:

I have had the car for a few days only and it is going like a dream.

It has done a lot of kilometer's, but has been well looked after. It pays to change the oil and filters every 10,000 kms.

The car was owned by a farmer's wife (70yo) so it was well treated. I have always wanted a diesel car and this one was hard to find. I just kept looking and it was in the Trading Post. It only came with one set of keys. There is a locksmith in Sydney who will cut some new ones.

General Comments:

The car is a "head turner". The man at the front gate said that.

It is very comfortable to ride in.

It has more power than the 5cyl 300D.
