Re: [MBZ] 210 v 211 v 212

I've never owned a W210 but as I understand it the biggest concern is rust. Front spring brackets on the RWD cars (not an issue with the 4matic) and general body rust which rapidly becomes terminal once it starts. My W211 E500 sedan is definitely a complicated car compared to my W123 and W116

Re: [MBZ] may cause cancer/death - 2001 E430 - $999

Also, the VIN given decodes as a 2001 E430, but the paint color should be ZIRCONIC RED METALLIC (257U) and that car looks to be either dark blue or dark grey or black to my eye, hard to be sure given the nighttime lighting in the photos. On Mon, Oct 2, 2023, at 11:06, Allan Streib via

Re: [MBZ] Initial review of 124 after 1500 miles.

One other thing, check carefully what the octane requirement label says. European cars, especially older ones, will often specify octane in RON units - Research Octane Number. There is another unit called Motor Octane Number (MON), and US fuel grades labeld on the pump are normally the average

> In town, it feels much less powerful than modern cars One thing I've noticed about my MBs is that they seem to design throttle response differently. In my wife's car, most of the throttle response is in the first 25% of pedal travel. Beyond that the throttle doesn't do much. You get used to

[MBZ] Decent looking 1998 E320 Wagon - 111k miles - $7,000

Color scheme is a shame but looks decent otherwise if the paint will clean up. A few mechanical issues but nothing that sounds terribly difficult. Should have some life left with that mileage and sounds like it's been maintained. Price probably high?

Changed oil in the E500 today. Used the HF oil sucker. Sure wish I'd bought one of those a long time ago. I presume the filters are packaged for multiple applications and it's normal to have an extra O-ring in the package. Also installed new wiper blades. Couldn't figure out the passenger side
