- 97. E300.TD. 7 SEAT.ELEGANCE. EST.TOYOTA SUPRA MK4. RS. VAUX. CORSA.GLS AUTO. SPORT.
hi everyone, i was at my local MB main dealer and there were several 2 to 3 yr. old e-300 estates etc. for sale. but aesthetically i prefer the one i have, 97. e-300 td. 7 seat. eleg. est. mine is worth £4K, and the ones mentioned are circa £15 to £20K.
the value of my car falls short of what i have spent on it in the past 3 yrs, but i paid £51K. back in 1997. it has never missed a beat in 12yrs and 193,000 miles. it still looks immaculate, no rust and drives just the same as in 1997.
i could scrape up the £20K. but what would i gain ? i see the 124's some immaculate and 15yrs old, they all look solid and non of the old mercs in my opinion give the gypo feeling like the old jags do. what do you think, are old mercs somthing special ? or is it old age and not wanting to spend our money on a new streamlined model. ? herbiemercman.
