I would try to avoid the 300E 24V engine, as it has a bad reputation of
developing mechanical trouble. I would try to get a late E320 instead. As
you seem to come from Denmark, it might be of interest for you that german
company Wiessmann (http://www.wiesmann-auto-sport.de) makes a fine hardtop
for the W124 convertible. I would seriously consider that for protecting
the convertible top during winter.

Any opinions on a 124 CE cab
I consider to trade my 300e and 280SL to a 124 CE cab as my children are
getting
to old to the back seat of the SL. And yes, there are not much room but they
only complain
if I tell them that I'm selling the SL

Re: Any opinions on a 124 CE cab
If you have the cash look at a CLK Cab instead. Better roof mechanism and
more room inside (believe it or not). And, IMO, it looks much better.

Re: Any opinions on a 124 CE cab
I would - but I live in Denmark and the +60.000$ for a used CE is more than
enough :-(

Re: Any opinions on a 124 CE cab
60.000 Dollars - US???
Wow!
Well, come to France. There's (was, last week) a 1994 320CE Cabriolet
Sportline, 5 speed manual with 155K kilometers for sale at local Mercedes
main dealer. Body is wonderful and I'd buy it for the asking price if my old
300CE 24V Sportline wasn't working so well (255K Km) and I had the 15K5
Euro. Yes, 15,500 Euro with garage warranty (sadly, not MB warranty) for 12
months.
Please don't pay 60K $US - look around German/Swiss MB dealers.
My 2 cents (Euro cents) worth.

Re: Any opinions on a 124 CE cab
dosen't matter if I find one in Germany. The taxman roughly tell me to pay 2
times the price I pay
in Germany. So I buy at 20k and pay the taxman 40k. The chiepest car in
Denmark (maybe Suzuki Wagon)
cost about 17 or 18.000 $.
Only exeption is if the car is more than 35 years old...
Great land to purchase car in.

Re: Any opinions on a 124 CE cab
Well, as we say in France, "Jesus Harry Christ".
I thought Denmark was in the EU. Doesn't that mean that goods cross borders
without levy. OK, I know, tobacco/alcohol into UK breaks the rules, but
second-hand cars???
I'm planning to get the best 300/320 CE/Cab (whatever) I can find and bring
it here to France. Am I in for a shock??
Sorry to hear how difficult it is for you.
The very best of luck.
RayH
What about if you pay "1500 Euro" for it??? Tax = 3000, total = 4500. The
rest is paid in cash. Oh well, just a thought.

Re: Any opinions on a 124 CE cab
your algebra is correct.
Anyway - we have some exceptions here. You can't buy a house here, I can buy
a house in France!!!
The thing about tob/alc. The same rule applies here as in England althoug
they are to be changed by 1/1 2004.
About EU - I don't think you could bring the car to Finland or Greese either
as they have rater high
taxes on cars also.

Re: Any opinions on a 124 CE cab
I am not sure about that comment about bringing alcohol and tobacco into the
UK.
As regards alcohol, you can bring into the UK as much as you like for
personal consumption if VAT/other taxes in an EU country have been paid. If
you are checked carrying above a certain amount you may have to prove it's
not for commercial use. It used to be 90 litres of wine per head but I
think is higher now after it came out that UK customs officials were
harassing travellers.
Have no idea about tobacco but would have thought it's same in principle.
As regards the vexed question of cars, I looked into it for the UK. You
have to have owned and driven the car for six months (min mileage applies,
IIRCC) outside Britain before being able to bring it in without paying VAT,
but that is, I believe, an EU-wide rule. The problem in Denmark (plus
Greece etc) is that cars attract additional taxes, which is no longer the
case in the UK.
I suppose at some point the EC may force a relaxation of the rules for
moving cars around. BTW, I believe aeroplanes are also currently exempted
from the rules about the free movement of goods. Maybe a Learjet costs
three times as much in Denmark as everywhere else???
