My Dad bought an 87 300E used in 1991 and it was a fantastic car. Handled great, had really good power, got good gas mileage for the power you got out of it and when they got T-Boned at a highway intersection into an oncoming Semi truck him and my brother survived the accident because of the car's design. This accident happened in 1995 at a time when pretty much any other vehichle and they both likely don't survive. At that time the car had 260,000 km on it, but still ran great. After that accident he wouldn't drive anything but a Benz....incidentally enough...he survived another sure death Accident in 2001 because his 99 C class held up to a nasty roll over on the Coquihalla.
