mine not quite a w124, is a w202 mercedes C200 Elegance 1997( pre faceift model) with upgraded 17 inch advangarde( polished) rims, respray bumber to make it body colour coded( ala advangarde style) and the HID xenon headlight!
its a collectors item, expect to pay for a 'ok' conditioned in the regions of Rm70K and Rm100++K for a well-kept one...
maintenance wise is the same as any other mercs...its prcier but worth every damn cent..300CE's parts are on the expensive side as it is quite hard to come by but this car will rarely give your problem if its well taken care off....besides for the same amount of money, a waja cannot give you the same First Class Treatmnet from the any hotel's doorman...hehehe
CBT did a review of this particular model few months back, look it up and email the guys at CBT for details..my CBT issue on 300Ce must be in my pile at home rite now...so need to look for it...anyways
yup.. i agree dat 300ce would give class n would be an excellent buy.. recently saw 2 230ce cars goin on sale at motortrader.. 65k n 70+k.. smaller engine but lower fuel consumption + lower road tax..
u think the price could rise again sumtime later.. say 10yrs? ;)
hello guys, im new to here...
i own a W115 200, bit old model but mod....
hm....lowering, 280s auto transmission, euro signal, 280s front bumper, W123 spring + shocks, 17" DTM Hockenheim Y style... thats all...
for my opinion... If the Merc Logo still there... its a good car :lol:
Panda, my location is Subang, i play some others classic car as well, Merc i got
another S280 manual, 1980, and i got another fren which driving W123 as well... there is a member in my team driving "Batman Merc-1959".... u can join me anytime for TT.
Wah seh.. such a classic car also u got ? Nice rims.. BBS wan ar? damn pui fok la.. but how u find the spare parts? quite difficult right? i'm driving a W201.. and some parts r so difficult to find.. not new 1 la.. new cost a lot... :( hey u guys got any cheap 16/17" sport rims for W201 ar? 2nd also nvm.. good condition can liow.. preferably within RM1k.. <_< *Damn Kiam Siap la..* oh yeah, i wan to implement to guys that the 'electronic' seatbelt in CE in very fragile n needs to repair quite frequently.. didnt experience it myself.. but heard from my mechanic... hope it helps. ;)
Yes...classic Merc parts not easy to get nowadays...but not all the parts lah. Used Steering box very hard to come by especially in good condition. Bad condition ones of course lah plenty in kedai potong.
I heard that you can still get parts for Merc cars up to 50 years old...but you'll have to import direct from Germany for certain parts.
Those W115, W116 are just about the type that will fall into the 'very hard to get spare parts' Merc..at least in Malaysia.
Germany there memang got a lot.. but if 1 2 buy damn mahal la.. too bad the local market do not manufacture spare parts for merz.. if not sure more will buy old merz wan. coz nowadays merz very 'cha' la.. electronics keep on give lots of problem 1.. like the S320 for example.. the vacumm spoild ledi n the boot cannot shut nicely.. so ugly la.. :( n the new C270 CDI the fuel consumption crazy wan.. some time can go very far.. but some time very short distance only.. <_< still the 190e is my favourite car.. only problem is the fuel pump n the ignition thing.. sometimes cannot start coz the fuel cant reach the engine... twist a few more times and wahla.. ITS ALIVE...~~~ but embarrassing lar.. merz cannot start.. then some times the igniion doesnt even have any 'ignition sound' also... problem again.. repair b4 once but problem still occur.. so dun care ledi lar..
