Mercedes benz 1991 300ce(RIP), now an 89 300ce
my new 300ce

ok guys, i picked up my new 89 300ce to replace my old one. i love it. it seems nicer than my old one, was kept in much better shape, has more pickup, and has cool rims.









the good, the bad, and the ugly

ok, so the good:
gold rims, great shape, hot looking, sweet speaker system with subs

bad: pulls left, not a fast reaction to pressing the gas, tighter steering wheel than the old 300ce, cant adjust seats with doors closed, needs a tune up, and e brake doesnt work

ugly: dents and dings all over the car, with two big ones on the roof. paint needs touch ups all over. needs a good wax.

for the most part, i love it. tell me what you guys think

lol, license plate needs to be tightened up! Personally, I don't care for the rims, but other than that, great car! Congrats.

Nice grille and light setup. Those O.Z.'s are pretty rare now...they look good.

also, any chance someone could scan me a copy of their fuse list for a car similar to mine? my wipers and windows went out and i see no visibly broken fuses.

dont care for the rims.
white and grey not the best combination.

but at least youre back in the game.

what year was your other car? this one might have a 103 engine when the other one had a 104. that would explain the difference in pickup.

Car not looking too bad, the grill is a lil' 'ricey' though - nice car nonetheless.

Add to "bad" the attempt to use USA headlight wipers with Euro lights.

It looks like a nice car. Take your time, the car will tell you what it needs. Repair whats' important first.

Take a blade and the cut the bubble right down the middle, then you can overlap the two sides. Or you can poke a hole in it and heat it or whatever.
