  Thanks Rudolf - 1995 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By andrew - June 1 - 2:43 am

  Bought my 95 E300D in Jan of 07 with 282,000 miles on it and 1" Benz 430 wheels with a spare in the trunk. I have put almost 20k more on it with 12K+ using Biodiesel B99/B100. On the Bio, this car is as quiet and smooth as a Corolla. It is also great with an Elsbett veggie oil kit. Plus, in LA stop and go, the car averages 25-27mpg, which is almost the same as my wifes 2000 Corolla. This car is a solid as they come. I hope that it never gets totaled.

  As good as it gets. - 1995 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By Mrjohn - January 26 - 10:00 am

  This is my 3rd M-B diesel and is just a rock solid car. 15 years old and looks like new, yea, there are a few little issues with fuses etc, but who cares when you get about 38 mpg overall. Rides great and has plenty of power for a diesel, keep them serviced and theyll run for ever!

  Class for the Cash! - 1995 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By Carlton B. Russell - December 25 - 6:13 pm

  This car is my first real luxury car, and I can honestly say you get what you pay for. The car is now 15 years old and I love driving it more and more each day. It is a classy, well built, dependable vehicle. Have put maybe $700 worth or repairs into it in a year for front struts and tension pulley, thats it. Oil changes are a little more pricey, but only need to be done every 7500 miles. Have learned to do a lot of minor repairs myself with the help of manuals and internet. Trust me if you ever ride in one you will see why I am so in love with my baby. Rode in a 2003 Benz and my cars ride is definitely smoother.

  Gosh, I love this car! - 1995 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By Midwest Merc Lover - December 10 - 6:00 am

  This is my 4th Mercedes, my 3rd diesel. Wow, they got this one right. Its powerful, reasonably quiet, dead simple to maintain, and the parts arent bad at all. Bought her with 235k on her, and did ball joints, tie rod ends, brake line ends, and an epic cleaning. Changed the oil and coolant several times, cleaning out the sins of the previous owner. Ive put 10k miles on in 6 months, and nothing but smiles. I hit 40 mpg on a 800 mile road trip in October, and nailed 41 mpg on a 400 mile trek later that month! The daily commute gets 36 mpg in the summer, down to 31 in the winter. Shes big, shes bad, shes comfortable, and the wife even likes her. Worth the steep price.

  converted - 1995 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By Newmerc - October 28 - 2:00 am

  It was difficult to research this vehicle once I found it. With such a limited production, there seems to be little press. The dealer recommended test-driving with the top up to experience the quiet, solid feel of the car. Its like driving a hard-top. Dont confuse this with a convertible sports car, though, it is more a well mannered car with a top that folds down. Im hooked on driving again.

  Choose wisely, and youll be rewarded. - 1995 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By pentaconsix - October 25 - 2:00 am

  With the youngest W124 now at 15 years old, youll have to be picky and discerning when buying on. I found a 95 with only 78,000 miles on the odo. The car has been a joy to drive & own. Try to find one where the previous owner has already done the major repairs: trans rebuild, head gasket replacement, wiring harness replacement. Mine had all those items already done. The looks of the W124 has aged very well, looking neither vintage or new though. The engine performance is still good by todays standard, but not as peppy as cars all seem to accelerate with more pep. My E320 has been reliable and starts up with just one turn of the key every time.

  Almost Perfect - 1995 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By RADJ - July 17 - 10:00 am

  This is the best (6th) diesel I have owned, bar none. Purchased from the original owner with 124K on the odometer. It is a very refined automobile with a simple, economical, engine. It is not a stoplight racer but will devour large expanses of highway with aplomb. Fuel economy is consistently 32-34mpg with mostly highway driving at 65-70mph. I highly recommend this model and this particular year. It was the last year for this body style. It has a larger fuel tank than the new models. So far (at 127K), everything works, though not always perfectly.

  More than I expected. - 1995 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By Original Owner - May 27 - 2:00 am

  After a few weeks of driving my new car, I thought, I hope I will always own a Mercedes. Talking to another 95 Mercedes owner that owned a number of cars including a new Lexus LS4xx, he brought up that same feeling about his Mercedes. At 60,000 the car was running better than other cars Ive owned with less mileage. It was more reliable, with very tight body. I was begining to think trade-in, when I brought it in for the 60,000 mile check- up. As I drove it away from the dealer, I was amazed that it drove as well as it did the day I bought it. At 75,00 there is still no reason to trade it in. It has been a great automobile, much better than I expected.

  great engine horrid HVAC - 1995 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
  By radicalpumpboy - February 10 - 12:33 am

  The twin-cam straight six has always been a great engine, and the variable cam version has to rate as one of MBs best engines. It pulls like a V8 and roars when told to do so. The engine is also bullet proof, as is the transmission, brakes, and suspension. All work like new after 112k miles. BUT, the car is best suited to milder climates -- like San Fran -- because the HVAC is total crap. Ive lost heat in the winter and seldom had cold air in the summer, despite spending lots and lots of money on constant repairs. The locks are also a weak spot.
