Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes 
Pros: Rock simple,rock solid.Great first car for a teen
Cons: Some parts are pricey.M-B dealers are modern day pirates in 3 piece suits.
The Bottom Line: Getting on up in years.Buy the lowest mileage,original you can find and you won't be disappointed.
I admit it.I have wanted one of these cars since they were introduced in the U.S in '84.I finally ran across a creampuff '93 model with lower than average milage (94,000) and a motivated seller and bought it on the spot.One of the best purchases I ever ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Rock Solid build quality, Interior materials are flawless, holds tremendous value
Cons: Repairs on A/C
The Bottom Line: This car is the bottom line if you can get your hands on a low milage 500. They're a disguised tank
The 1993 S-500 is built like no other car. This is what seperated a Mercedes from a Lexus. Now Mercedes and Lexus build equally expensive cars. The experior design is boxy, but formidable. The doors and trunk have the pneumatics (Air Closing). The air ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Exceptionally well-built, powerful, drivable, safe, luxurious, and lasts forever.
Cons: High cost of replacement parts
The Bottom Line: The '93 300TE's value, safety, power, comfort and, well... practicality, make for a truly exceptional used car.
We were fortunate to buy our very low mileage '93 300TE from the original owner. Our car is NOT a "4MATIC" (M-B's four wheel drive system) but does have ASR traction control. If you live where there is ice and snow (I'm in Wisconsin), I HIGHLY ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Everything about the car
Cons: Nothing
Driving in the Mercedes S-500 is one of the greatest experiences I can think of. Luxury is not the word for a car like this. With beautiful suspension, it feels like you're driving on flat pavement when you are on an old dirt road. With gadgets that ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Safe, roomy, and driving dream!
Cons: Repairs are VERY expensive. We've had to have a couple things replaced due to a fender bender
We got this car because, we trust Mercedes. With a young son, my husband and I thought that this was a safe choice for our family. It is a very roomy car, and has a huge trunk! So those of us with children really find that a valuable asset. I can fit my ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: solid.... great drive.
Cons: multiple car seats don't fit easily.
This is an overall well-built car. Mechanically, it drives so smoothly. Everything in it is so solid. You do not feel like you'll pull the door handle off (as in some cars) when you're closing the door.
Love all of the features such as being ... read more

Dec 24, 1999 (A Very Helpful review)
Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Good handling and good engineering.
Cons: Maintenance and repair can be expensive.
I bought my 1993 Mercedes 300SD new in August, 1993. This purchase was a huge decision because I am not a wealthy individual. I must admit this purchase was more of an impulse purchase as opposed to a very planned and deliberate purchase. I ... read more

Dec 23, 1999 (A Helpful review)
Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Solid car. Good cruising vehicle
Cons: Mercedes Dealers charge too much for service
I do not allocate funds for new car purchases. The upfront depreciation is just too much for me to take. However, I recently bought my first decent used low end luxury car, a 1993 190E with 79k miles. My wife influenced me to do so. I normally buy a car ... read more

Feb 26, 2002 (A Somewhat Helpful review)
Author's Product Rating: 10 Recommended: No 
Pros: Style, luxury, convenience features
Cons: Poorest engineering in Mercedes history
The Bottom Line: I would not recommend this automobile to anyone who wants quality, reliability, and durability. This car is not an example of the great cars Mercedes once made.
I am proud to be an EX-owner of a 1993 300SE. I am amused at the wonderful opinions that have been submitted on the 300SD. Over the past several years, I have owned nine Mercedes, all diesels except for my 300SE. By far, the W140 body cars were the ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50
Recommended: Yes
Pros: Smooth and connected ride, comfortable, roomy, old school big grill, rare and an interesting history.
Cons: Heavy feel, Non-backlit gages from the 70s, original Becker radio and speakers are cheapo.
I purchased this car used in 1999 from the original owner and have had no issues with the car. It is bullet proof! I keep up on the service which is more costly than most cars but never had much out of the normal. This car has never
