Oh my GAWD, where did you score that? I thought I was doing great to pick up a near-mint 300E for $2400 but that was an '86 with 200k on the clock. I'd have soiled myself finding a 92 for the same price (with body updates and full leather, standard in 92!). After fixing all the assorted little things (cruise, worn steering stuff, etc), replacing all fluids and most rubber/plastic hoses, and generally cleaning it up I don't think I'd let it go for much less than double that. (It's REALLY clean.) Pics are here:

Oh, and sorry about that Saturn... poor guy... :-) -dm > ------------------------------ > Date: Mon, 22 Aug 2005 14:47:34 -0400 > From: JabbaHursty <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: [MBZ] people are on crack > > i paid $2500 for a very nice 92 300E. deals are out there if have the > patience to wait for one. > > my wife stole it from me though so i'm driving a saturn :(
