General Comments:
I bought a 300E and kept it for about a year and really liked it so almost on the spur of the moment, I bought a 1989 420 SEL for $3000. The engine has about 42,000 miles. I really like driving this car and have already run into some maintenance cost issues, but I knew that it would cost more to maintain. I kind of regret buying it without shopping around some more, but I don't regret having a 420 SEL. Now I'm thinking about how I can get my hands on a M-B coupe, 600 series :-)
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I have a 420sel merc very nice car one of best I ever owned when I got it. it was alright, but three days later smoke was came out if the exhaust, had it looked at, mechanics said $3,000 he thought it was the injectors, but I replaced them myself, still same thing, so a month later went to another mechanic he said $9,000 the whole motor got rebuilt, it was worth every penny. best car if one looks after her very pleasing to the eye.smooth
