| Hello Everyone! I am having some legal issues that would be better taken care by a legitimate person and I am really looking for a lawyer to take me out of this critical situation. I have searched a lot but did not find the right person to hire for my issues. I am seeking some suggestions here as I know and I believe that people here come from different streams and can better advice me on this issue. Any help will be appreciated. | |

Had the old girl out and ran across an old Mini. Had to park next to it and take a quick cell phone picture (sorry for quality).

Replying to: hpmctorque (Jul 31, 2008 8:28 pm) of course, it is a Benz so it's going to nickel and dime you, no getting around that. These are the types of cars where you never ever buy a "fixer-upper". You buy the cleanest, nicest, lowest miled one you can afford to own. |

Replying to: hpmctorque (Jul 31, 2008 8:28 pm) The M103 I6 as seen in most 300E cars is a smooth and durable unit, not too powerful (180hp I think) but it can move the car along as they aren't as heavy as a modern car. The engines can also take a lot of mileage if maintained, but they do seem to like value adjustments or work at maybe 250K miles, even with proper maintenance. It was replaced by a DOHC I6 for a couple years that bumped up the power a bit, but was still durable. There was also a 2.8l 300E that developed less power. Powertrains on these cars are solid, electrical glitches and HVAC issues are the main problem areas, I think. I wouldn't call them unreliable, they just need more TLC than a Corolla. If that is ignored, the cars will fail. If I was to choose a V8 car it would be a 500E, and those still cost...however a I6 car should be just fine for most people. |

| Thanks regarding the 300E info. | |
| spotted in the parking lot tonite, outside the grocery store. It was antique white, similar to my Dart, and a bit rough around the edges, but still cool to see something like that still plying the streets. | |

Send it back to England For large families As odd as it gets Sharp Z The little wide car Wow Beast Homely Low miles R Uh-oh, someone restored a fintail...burning the money would be more efficient, but I like those tires "rare and beautiful" This is cool 442 of a different era
