I wanna get into one of these but..

...but my knowledge is limited on whats the best model/year to buy.

I owned a c36 amg and currently have a 5.4 swapped c43 and a 05 c55.

I wanna get into an early 90 300c convertible(I think). Also whats the difference between that and a 300e?

What are the weak points on these? Is it the head gasket and wiring harness like on the early c36s?

You don't know what the difference between a convertible and a sedan???

Head gasket issue is on all years. Not sure on diesels though.

Wiring harness only affected on 93-95 cars.

wire harness eco junk, head gaskets, oil leaks, the same but different... and oh yea, may be prone to evaporator leaks
