 I'm selling my 1993 300SE. -LAST OF THE TANKS- Rare Tropen Green Metallic two tone,Mushroom SMOKE FREE Interior (tan). This car is in Great condition for its age with only minor wear from 20 years of use. locks, keyless entry, power windows and sunroof all work perfectly, although I suspect the left rear windows may be due for a regulator soon.. and the power antenna is in need for a new motor ( mast is fine) ..I just don't use it either of those two things.   I am the 4th owner. 201,120 Miles. This car is unique in the fact that it has had the opportunity to be owned by owners that believed in maintenance at a Mercedes dealer and following the actual Mercedes Benz service schedule (rare). Selling this car because I've bought a new F-150.. The owner before me was a Mercedes tech and took meticulous care of this car. He had worked on it for the previous owners at the dealership and noted the care they put into it and bought it when it was traded in. The car looks great for the age, the paint cleans up well, although starting to show its age. However no peeling or anything like that. The front bumper has some scratches in it. NO CORROSION! This car- up until last year, was GARAGE KEPT.  The car has 4 Michelin Primacy MXV4 tires with about 25k put onto them  as  they look pretty new still. Oil Changes with Mobil 15w40 Every 3,000k since new, plugs every 15k miles, filters and all exactly to spec and only using Genuine Mercedes Benz parts.  Car Does not burn oil, Runs GREAT and has a lot of documented work done on it.  Lots of receipts from previous owner and some other maintenance documentation. There however is one problem with the car which has actually been going on for the past 50k miles.. The Transmission has a strange shift from 2nd to 3rd- I bought it this way from the former owner - (Mercedes Technician) He actually bought it that way too...  He drove it for about 40K like that and I drove it for about 10K with no change in frequency or indications of it getting worse. For what its worth, the official opinion of the Mercedes tech was that it doesn't act like a mechanical slip but more as if its a modulation or valve body issue such as a spring .Other than that, this car is really in great shape!  I Drove this car 50 Miles a day as a daily driver as did the previous owner before me with out a single issue. This car has had so much done to it for it to slip into someones hands for a parts car or junker. Below I will list SOME of the maintenance history that's within the last 40k. Also two very noteworthy maintenance issues that were addressed with this car the correction of two very common COSTLY issues with this car... one being the A/C Evaporator ( Huge Job consisting of 28 Hours of labor and 1800 in parts)  so the Climate control works 100% and the A/C is ice cold. The other is the Engine wiring harness- another Mercedes issue for a few years... the coating of the wires deteriorated faster than the car resulting in a barrage of electrical problems ... this was also FIXED and a new updated MB harness installed.  Please Note this is a 20 year old car and that there are items that are worn from age and so forth and I am not offering any warranty implied or given as this car is to be sold as-is. To my knowledge, I have described this car as best I could so there are no hidden issues as I take pride in my honesty in all my listings when selling items- look at my feedback.  If you have any questions, please feel free to ask before you bid.  May be able to help with arranging shipping ( at your expense)  if necessary.
(Pics I took were from February after I got it detailed for the year.) Happy Bidding!!

 I aplogize but there is one item I forgot to mention-there is a crack in the windshield that has developed around where the windshield wipers rest towards the bottom. Not all that noticeable- but cracked nonetheless.
