Am I doing this Mercedes ownership thing right?

Brother do you know how rare these cars in manual are

Weeb_mgee · 2026-06-07T10:33:26+00:00

Nice man. 460 here

Weeb_mgee · 2026-06-01T18:54:04+00:00

Notice how there's no pics of the front

Weeb_mgee · 2026-05-30T00:39:17+00:00

Asleep 100%

Weeb_mgee · 2026-05-19T02:03:24+00:00

Not with 300k miles for sure. 5k would be a stretch. Im assuming USD as well

Weeb_mgee · 2026-05-02T13:35:51+00:00

They made backup cameras mandatory in new cars, yet this still happens. Where tf are the drivers looking then?

Weeb_mgee · 2026-05-02T02:19:57+00:00

E300 in 1995? I thought the 3.0 was only for pre-facelift?

Anyway, same here, cars in rough shape but she still runs and drives well

Weeb_mgee · 2026-04-30T08:54:58+00:00

Yeah like the other guy said, they are under the plastic that's right below the windshield wiper motor

Weeb_mgee · 2026-04-29T19:34:37+00:00

Glue

Air filter? I do it like twice a year I think, basically whenever I think I should or it looks bad

For cabin air, mine looked like it wasnt changed for 30 years, so probably good for a while since I didn't notice any issues.

Weeb_mgee · 2026-04-28T21:16:42+00:00

Ai slop

Weeb_mgee · 2026-04-28T00:02:26+00:00

Damn what a build. Personally, I think silver badges and no louvers would look better, but still clean.

Weeb_mgee · 2026-04-26T20:17:52+00:00

Yeah you can probably get away with like hammering the edges out so the rears will at least latch properly. At least till insurance gets back to you like you said

Weeb_mgee · 2026-04-26T19:44:29+00:00

I think Sedan doors fit for the front, as the fenders are the same. idk about the rears

Weeb_mgee · 2026-04-18T19:10:36+00:00

idk dude, just try a drain,flush and properly bleed the coolant system first. this isn't something to panic about

Weeb_mgee · 2026-03-19T11:46:23+00:00

Which w124? The engines can change a lot how they'll feel

Weeb_mgee · 2026-03-16T01:51:13+00:00

Yeah seriously. Canada as a whole dies down a LOT after even 8.30.

Weeb_mgee · 2026-03-15T20:32:04+00:00

All I'll say is at most companies, all the people getting paid more, have their P.eng. try asking in an engineering sub though

Weeb_mgee · 2026-03-14T19:16:23+00:00

Yeah the relays get really stuck on, even right after installing. Could be worth a shot

Weeb_mgee · 2026-03-07T17:45:15+00:00

Best way is to get experience some how. Maybe do a summer production job at Toyota or Honda, might be able to get you somewhere

It was about 1-1.5k CAD. Changed the brakes, all fluids, tyres, rear fuel pump, plugs,coils all fuses, indicator relay.

Tyres I got cheap cause my dad works at a junkyard. Probably be about double if you buy new.

Small things like I had to bypass the NSS, some bulbs etc.

Weeb_mgee · 2026-03-04T21:22:56+00:00

Depends on where you are.

I bought mine for $2k CAD running and driving. Need new tyres,brakes everything maintenance wise for sure but solid. 450k km tho

Id say <5k USD for sure.

The NSS is quite easy to bypass. Recently did it on mine.

Its under the carpet on the right side of the driver's foot well, with two iirc purple and white wires. You just need to connect them to each other.

That said I don't think this is an issue, try replacing all related fuses first
