1979 Mercedes-Benz W116 280SE M110 Inline-6
Summary:
That, what we all mean to the name Mercedes
Faults:
The both front doors got rusty during the first three years, but they had been changed by our dealer without any costs for us.
General Comments:
We used the car for caravaning and going to holiday with the whole family. The most time we used it, we used it with a heavy weight caravan or boat on a trailer when we went to wales or France. So the 227.000 km the car pulled it's double weight. The car is still in original condition. The engine still runs unlike any other. The car never had a fault during our journey. It took about 14 liters at 100km super fuel leaded.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

That's the very proof of Mercedes' reputation of heavy duty.
Indeed, I once towed a Mitsubishi Delica (L300) pick-up loaded with a lot of milk containers with my Mercedes-Benz 260E 1992; she did quite well with her strong torque and stiff body structure!
