Hi guys,<br> I am looking to purchase a 300E its black, has books but no records, car seems to be in good condition, doesn't show any repaints/bodywork. Paint is good. It is for sale by a little used car dealership. What should I be looking for and how should I go about checking it. I am not at all mechanically inclined. I had a w-124 2.3l overseas and was very happy with the car. Never had a probelem for the 2 years I had it. The car in question has 120,000 miles ( don't know if this is correct), and it is for sale for $4500. Comments Advice etc would be greatly appreciated.<br> <br> Regards<br> Sohaib

There is the solid plastic panel behind the headlights on the engine bay side as shown in the photo, but I am wondering if that may retain too much heat. Although the LED front...

  6. Dome light door switch

    My front dome light has three positions. It's possible to manually switch it on with the switch on the light. I expected the other positions to be 'always off' and 'on when doors open'. Unfortunately, opening the doors doesn't activate the light in either of these two other positions. I...
