Which Mercedes to Buy ?WilsonMercedes 02-28-2005, 02:35 PM I like the MB 300 D from 1991 to approx. 1995 and searching for advice on these cars as well as other diesel models (like the 5 cylinder). Anyone knows where to see all different models/years and specification in general like diesel, gasoline, number of cylinders, etc ? Alos any car to stay away from / thanks, Wilson 57JagXKSS 03-13-2005, 06:42 AM I really like the 1986-1995 Mercedes-Benz E class. They have better quality and reliability than the new MBs. Watch out for head gasket leaks on 300Es and E320s. The 95 E300 Diesel has a 3.0-liter DOHC 24-valve inline 6-cylinder diesel with 134 hp at 5,000 rpm and 155 lb-ft @ 2,600 rpm. Here is some more information on the W124 (86-95 E class). http://www.mbusa.com/brand/container.jsp?/overview/overview_engine.jsp?spec=2&subNav=overview&yearModelCode=88_D300&class=88_E&rnav=024568&menu=2_1 A performance chip can boost hp from 134 hp to 150 hp and torque from 155 lb-ft of torque to 172 lb-ft of torque.
