400E
400elone

ok so i was thinking, sitting in the parking lot during lunch...and I came to realize I have one of two 400Es in my region of the U.S., the other is from texas. Is this the type of car that is more predominent in particular areas(i.E.: coastal, central, etc.)? or do I just live in the twighlight zone or something?

they tend to be where the money is, it takes people that can afford a 60k car back in the day. So, usually larger cities.

400E
there may only be the two of us, but its weird because every benz I see is an E-class of similar years , except the 4.

but there is a lot of money in this region, the two biggest high rollers are the Tyson family of tyson chicken, and the walton family, the founders of Wal-Mart for those of you who live under a rock......so there is a LOT of money around here

I have one in San Antonio, it is my second one in 8 years. There are two others within 3 miles of my house and I saw another one about 6 months ago on the highway in town. In the last 8 years, that is about all I have spotted in San Antonio. They are rare but they are out there.

400E
my dad has a connection in the DMV, and he checked the registry for 400Es, there are 3 400Es in Norhtwest Arkansas, so we are of the few here......which is good cause that means more of the greatest roads in the United States for me......
