Hey guys, need y'all to keep your eyes peeled for a clean 300CE for me. Got rid of the 300E today, the auction house took it back because the odometer was rolled back. Im liking the 2 doors more! Prefer in Canada but will buy from USA!

 

my brother got one....... 1991 300CE tan has like 116k miles i believe... interior is like new and runs and drives perfect....

 

Do you have any pics? How much is he looking to get? Im mainly looking for one in black, charcoal, silver, red or white

 

he wants 4600 for it i think.... i will get pics soon for you, but its pretty clean in and out runs smooth and whatnot

 

hello,,,I have a ce which i have to sell. just turned 100k,black on black,all original,ac and all systems operate as they should...runs excellent,dealer serviced,new engine harnness installed by dealer, new tires NO accidents or body work.call me for more info@ 914-2615529...thanks! mike

 

ttt

 

Lol, I'd sell you mine for cheaps, but its working again :P

 

Im trying to make a deal with Bennett Dunlopp Ford in Saskatchewan on this blue imported 89, 109k, blue on blue, doesnt even have leather. but they want 15 large ones ok buddy






Apparently it was appraised @ 17k, LOL, im not too crazy about that interior though

 

Its beautiful, though the price is a bit much. I donno, I'm a fan

 

I like it. CE's are beautiful and hard to come by.

 

Dude for that price you could get a very nice 93-95 300E and do a 4.2 engine and ecu swap. That is a nice car but you can do alot with that much $$.

 

Why would you buy a 93-95 300E and swap in a 4.2L engine when you could just purchase a 400E or E420?

Still not the coupe that he wants...

 

wow that coupe is H.O.T!

 

Sounds crazy, but you may be on to something...has a AMG kit, including steering wheel.

Have you got a look at the engine yet...try to post pix of the engine.

Also post the VIN and I can see all the particulars of the car when delivered.

Not sure of the wheels as they are chrome and similar in style to my AMG replicas.

 

I will try and get the VIN # from them, what would you guys recommend as a fair price? Did these engines have the Headgasket problem also?

 

You want to look at the engine and if possible take a few pix.
What would make it valuable is if it is a 3.2L AMG M103-12V.
The most obvious identifier would be that the air filter housing has two air ducts going into it.
The VIN would give the info of what was on the car as options when delivered along with what country it was originally sold.

If it is a full AMG 3.2 Coupe, then it could have some value.

Get some pix of the engine !!!

 

here is one http://losangeles.craigslist.org/wst/car/572188054.html

Look very clean and I think the price is right!

 

Here is the VIN #.

WDB1240501A812777

I will try to get some pics of the engine from the seller, he is 8 hours away. Any members here in Regina?

 

I was last night, but my wife called


No, sorry

 

That coupe is HOT...love body kit, and the color, LOL. I would almost be willing to give up my M119 sedan for that car, as long as I had the whip to drop a TT kit into it. Yummmm!

This is getting extremely interesting.
It's a left hand drive car that was delivered to Japan which is a right hand drive country.
The VIN shows the vehicle as a 1988 and doesn't indicate any AMG factory
part installation.
Possibly shipped to AMG Japan for the AMG install.
Japan did some AMG mods that you rarely see in the USA.
Engine pix please !!!

Note that it has a "face lift " front end ( hood, grille, etc ) that doesn't belong on the early C124.
Not sure but the wheel well lips appear to be rolled?
What size tires are on the car ?

Still looking for one , prefer a black sportline but throw them at me!

 

I just joined the search party. 300CE's are more plentiful than I thought, found two Sportlines, and I'm also currently considering a 300CE cabriolet and two E320 cabs. Good luck to both of us (this will be the first used car I've bought in over 20 years, and considering my experiences with classic motorcycles, I am out of my mind ).

Cheers!

 

Buy the cab as the current market undervalues the cab more then the coupe.
If necessary, pay a premium to get a low mileage fully documented example.

Economy improves and the cab will jump significantly in value.

 

In your search be aware of the CE differences:

• 88-89 has the same as the 300E M103 12 valve SOHC with CIS-E
• 90-92 has the early 3.0L M104 24 valve DOHC with CIS-E
• 93 has the later more common 3.2L M104 24 valve DOHC with HFM-SFI
• 94-95 has the 3.2L M104 with HFM-SFI, renamed E320 coupe with new styled hood, headlights, and trunk

(corrected)

If you're familiar working on the 300E, get the early CE with the same engine and EZL. The later versions can have VERY expensive EZL ignition control module failures. The (windshield back) body parts are costly in these beautiful coupes and the 92 and later years can have the wiring harness problems. On the other side, the later years have more power and better fuel economy, newer 134a AC refrigerant, and you'll generally find them with lower miles.
