300e coupe buying advice

[Flash]

hey folks, i'm considering getting a 1990 300e coupe, 24valve.
i've allready looked at the 280 advice, is there anything else thats different on the coupe?
any idea about performance/economy? (note i use the word economy loosley....)
its got a full history, 85000 miles on it and i'm going to look this afternoon, if they ever let me off this oil rig....
cheers, Brent
:twisted:

Flash,

Same as the saloon, really..........

Worth winding the windows down and slamming the doors. Cos they're frameless, they get really rattly if not well maintained.

If they rattle, this will irritate you for the whole time you have the car......

Make sure when you drive it you check the auto trans changes smoothly and kicks down etc ok. Should also run as smooth as silk, any hesitancy or missing points to injectors etc.

some of the trim is a bit gash, plastic panels on the side of seats etc break quite easily, so hopefully it is in tidy knick.

Get a copy of E owners bible if you buy it, loads of good gen.

good luck
