1989 Mercedes-Benz 300 SE W126 (Manuals / 5 Gears) RWD [1985-1991]

Summary

Experts rate the 300 SE manual as a car for those who want to feel every movement of German engineering at their fingertips. According to ProfessCars™ estimates, the performance is impressive with a top speed of 221 km/h and a 0-100 km/h acceleration of just 8.5 seconds, figures that make it fast enough even by today's standards. The average consumption of 11.9 L/100km is very reasonable for a vehicle of this class, especially given the refinement of the Bosch KE-Jetronic system. The starting price in 1987 for this model in Germany was around 65,300 Deutsche Mark (approx. €33,400). This variant remains a fairly rare and sought-after choice for collectors looking for pure mechanical performance under the guise of an S-Class.
