Which year 300E to buy?
I am looking for a solid 300E and I was just wondering if I should go for an 86-92 model year 300E, or the one with the newer engine from 93 and up. Any real problems that I should be weary of with the older 300E's? Thanks

Personally I'd get a 94-95 E320. I still love the W124 and plan to get one one day also. I want a 94' E500 but that is another story.
