1989 Mercedes 300e                                                                             September 25, 2015

Here is my story about a Mercedes that I am buying

It has been park for a year from overheating.  I offer $1000 in 2 payments.   I figure about $600, I can have it running good.

 The interior looks good, even the heater fan works, better than the Volvo 940 that I have now.

It has the M103.980 engine (181 in³ or 2960 cm³) produces 179 hp or 132 kW at 5700 rpm (with catalyst), 188 hp or 138 kW at 5700 rpm (without catalyst), and has a torque of 188 ft·lbf or 255 N·m at 4400 rpm (with catalyst), 191 ft·lbf or 260 N·m at 4400 rpm (without catalyst). It uses the CIS-E (Continuous Injection System - Electronic) and has a bore of 88.5 mm (3.48 in) and a stroke of 80.2 mm (3.16 in). The compression ratio is 9.2 : 1 with a redline of 6200 rpm. The firing order is 1-5-3-6-2-4. Lubrication system is pressure circulation lubrication system. Amount of oil in engine is 6.0 litres and amount of coolant is 8.5 litres. Number of valves is 1 intake, 1 exhaust with V-shaped overhead configuration. Valve operation was 1 top camshaft. Camshaft drive was simple roller-type chain. Starter motor is electrical with 1.5 kW; since 01.88 was 1.7 kW. Ignition system is electronic ignition system. Recommended fuel octane for the M103 is 91 RON/MON (96 RON)(86 MON).

I am going to sell it; changing the head gasket is not possible at this time also I think I found a better Mercedes.
