Hello, it's nearly time for me to get my first car. I'd really like to have a 1995 300E. It's a steel body, decent on gas and insurance, classy and not too expensive. Does anyone have input on this idea?

 

My first car was a 1995 E320 - great car with decent power, MPG and size. Make sure the wiring harness has been replaced (the biggest issue I remember having with my W124) - everything else along the way was standard maintenance such as replacing plugs, filters, fluids, oils etc...Whatever car you end up choosing, make sure to get a PPI on it.
