Faults:

1. Transmission gasket started leaking, which resulted in changing it outside the authorized dealer. It cost around $400.

2. Ball bearing in the emission vacuum pulley had gone bad. I had to replace it. Unfortunately, the pulley doesn't come by itself & if you want to buy the whole unit, it would cost around $500. So, I had to custom make a new pulley for it, which cost me around $50 only.

3. Having 4 speed gear box is unfair for such machine.

General Comments:

I really loved the car. It had the 1992 shape, but I took it to a professional garage to paint it after upgrading to 1994 model (changing the bonnet & the trunk with the required accessories.

Driving a 500E 124.036 is basically is driving the ultimate on the road. Very very very very comfortable and luxurious car.

What makes it unique is that ordinary people don't know about it. Only people who know about the 500E will know it.

I drove sports cars before, driving the 500E is different.

Faults:

The only fault I have had with the car is the drivers side electric window regulator broke.

General Comments:

Fantastic car, I have owned a large number of cars, but this is the best car I have ever had, including a 3 year only omega which is not a patch on the 1992 Mercedes E300D.

Faults:

I had the 90000 mile tune-up completed last week. My dealer charged $3000.00 but had the car 4 days and provided a new Buick loaner.

This is my dream car and no amount of money could replace it in my heart.

I have had no minor no major complaints.

General Comments:

This automobile is very fast, quiet, smooth and exceedingly comfortable. It drives unlike any other car I've driven. To day I've personally owned 187 cars, trucks and motorcycles, this machine is a work of art.

Faults:

The tumbler had to be replaced on this one and my 1989 300E. Other than that nothing.

General Comments:

I feel that the W124 300E is a complete package. Classy looks, solid build, prestigious history, great performance, great ride. This car was definitely built to cruise the Autobahn.

I had an 1989 300E that I gave to my brother. It was mint, but I wanted the updated looks of the interior/exterior of the 1992. Mine has the 8 spoke wheels which make it look sporty.

I long for a 500E/E500! An all alloy V8 that weighs only 18lbs more than the cast iron I6 with suspension and brakes by Porsche.

Faults:

A few holes were in the muffler - which I chose to replace.

The antenna motor needed replacing.

General Comments:

This car has the most stability and comfort of any car I've owned. I feel extremely safe when on the road. It's very quite and smooth.

Faults:

Slow oil leak, need to replace the head gasket.

AC works only on the center vents.

General Comments:

Very nice driving car.

Fun to drive.

Nice weight in the steering wheel with that high quality feel.

Faults:

1. Engine quit when put in gear.

2. Air conditioner failed.

3. Transmission has erratic operation.

4. When sitting for 30 minutes or more after running, it's extremely hard to start.

5. Radiator hose fitting broke, causing extreme overheating.

6. Voltage regulator failed.

7. Battery exploded.

8. Power seat switch failed.

9. Fuel filler cover door broke off.

10. I get 15 miles per gallon in town, and 18 on the open road.

General Comments:

For a named auto this is a POOR example.

I have spent more on repairs than the auto cost me to buy. The "Ergonomic seats" will break your back on trips over 100 miles long. Other than that, it's a pretty car.
