world officials, CEOs, oil tycoons real and fictional (e.g., J.R.
Ewing) and celebrities, Mercedes-Benz?s S-class became the
signature high-end sedan and limousine of the go-go 1980s and early
1990?s. This clean and elegant 1990 Mercedes-Benz 300SE has been
owned by a good friend of ours, who brings us some really amazing
European cars to sell over the years. He purchased this 300SE ten
years ago from his neighbor in Los Angeles and he used it as an
occasional commuter car. Recently he drove this car from Los
Angeles to our facility here in St. Louis Missouri without a single
issue. The car is very clean and well sorted for its age and
mileage! This example, made in February 1990 at Mercedes?
Sindelfingen assembly plant, is one of 105,422 examples made
between 1985 and 1991 and is considered a Second Series car. It
left the assembly line with the following options ? rear ashtray
and cigar lighters (code 227); power front seats with memory
settings (codes 241 and 242); sunroof (code 412); four-speed
automatic transmission (code 420); Tempomat (cruise control, tilt
steering column and airbag), (code 446); USA version (code 494);
Becker Mexico Grand Prix electronic radio (code 519); power antenna
(code 531); dual sun visors with illuminated vanity mirrors (code
543); anti-theft system (code 551); automatic climate control (code
581); insulated glass with rear defroster (code 592); headlamp
wiper/washer (code 600); courtesy lamps for front and rear doors
(code 611); 15-hole light alloy rims (code 640); and rear reading
lamps (code 877). Dressed in original black, (code DB-040), the
car?s paint and trim are in overall very good order, especially for
overall original paint. The body is straight and solid, the car?s
engine bay is very tidy while the cargo area is in satisfactory
order. The European body-colored bumpers with chrome and rubber
wraparound strips fit tightly to the body and look so much better
than the larger US market bumpers. The 300SE rolls on Falken
Sincera radials, size 215/70R15 at each corner that are slightly
taller than factory size for a better ride for highway cruising.
Each tire is mounted to a 15-hole factory chrome rim. The chrome
wheels are in excellent, original order while the tires are in very
good condition. Under hood is a then-new and Mercedes legendary
3.0L SOHC straight six-cylinder inline engine (code M103.980) with
electronic-mechanical fuel injection. Backing this motor is a
four-speed automatic transmission (4G-TRONIC W4A 040) with standard
and economy shift points. Driver convenience features are
plentiful, including automatic climate control, power
rack-and-pinion steering, power, four-wheel disc brakes, cruise
control, power front seats with memory, tilt steering column, power
antenna, rear defroster and headlamp wiper/washer. Safety features
include a driver?s side airbag; and anti-lock brakes;
high-strength, low-alloy steel; seat belt pretensioners; and front-
and rear-crumple zones. Competition to this 300SE in 1990 included
Acura?s Legend, Audi?s 200 Turbo, Avanti?s Touring Sedan, BMW?s
735i, Cadillac?s Fleetwood and Sedan de Ville, Excalibur?s Series V
Touring Sedan, Infiniti?s Q45, Jaguar?s XJ6, Lexus? LS 400 and
Lincoln?s Town Car. These S-class Mercedes were automotive
juggernauts, even in base trim. The bank vault solidity of the
doors, trunk and hood, the quiet interior at speed and the overall
fit and finish. If you?re looking for a classic cruiser that won?t
yield gas mileage in the single digits, take a closer look at this
