Perhaps the 300E with Chevy 350 V8 just wasn’t your thing — that’s fine, nobody is going to judge you around here, in fact, I’ve got something for the non V8 swapper — a nice looking original 300E for a decent price from a regular DT reader. Find this 1993 Mercedes-Benz 300E offered for $2,900 […]
The W124 Mercedes-Benz chassis was the first Benz given the official E-Class badging and one of the finer examples of German engineering and build quality in existence. They were distributed around the world from 1984 though 1996 with a variety of inline4, inline5, inline6, and V8 engines — and the one to get if you […]
If you plop the words Toyota Prius or Honda Accord into the search field of your local craigslist, you will typically find a menagerie of similar cars with similar prices, but finding the doppelganger of something as rare/odd as a E320 Wagon…that’s gotta mean something…like maybe time another DT face off! Which would you drive? […]
The W124 E-class was the Mercedes-Benz answer to BMW’s 5-series, but with the success of the E28 M5 and the upcoming E34 M5, the guys at Mercedes-Benz knew they had to respond with something fast. So, they did what any logical German would do and turned to Porsche and pleaded for help. The result was […]
In 1990 Stanley Kirk Burrell (also known as M.C. Hammer) released his Album Please hammer, Don’t Hurt ‘Em which featured his signature song U Can’t Touch This. Coincidentally this was the same year that Mercedes-Benz released their untouchable Hammer into the world, in the form of the 1991 through 1994 model year 500E. Find this […]
The W124 generation Mercedes-Benz 500E is one of those wolf in sheep’s clothing sleepers that will only be recognized by the sharpest of Border Collies. It seems, at least in SoCal, that the predominate drivers of the W124 for the past few years have been middle aged women, and while I hate to use the […]
I’ve had a few people ask me recently for recommendations for a good late model 4-seat convertible in the $5k range, and I typically point them toward BMW’s 3-series, any modern Saab (haha, suckers!!), Volvo C70, maybe even the Toyota Solara if they hate driving…but I’ve never given a recommendation for a Mercedes W124…until now. […]
The W124 Mercedes-Benz chassis was the first Benz given the official E-Class nomenclature and one of the final pre-Daimler/Chrysler era cars to come from Stuttgart before the inevitable decline and fall of Germany’s greatest automotive empire. These cars are nearing 20 years old, but still feel/drive/look modern, and will still be driving their owners around […]
Every year the malls are swamped on Black Friday with shoppers trying to get a good deal on worthless stuff they don’t need. Why should it be any different here? You may not need another 80% restored mid 80’s Mercedes in your driveway, but this one (with photos from a mall parking lot) looks like […]
We’ve been big fans of Mercedes-Benz E-Class wagons for years, especially since their values dropped to Volkswagen Bus prices…wait..those are worth a mint now…strange world. Anyway, today’s E-Class is no standard run-of-the-mill 300TE; this one was once owned by actor/comedian/Canadian John Candy. Find this 1991 Mercedes-Benz 300TE for sale in Katy, TX for $800 via […]
