One of my friends been driving E200 Masterpiece for the longest time. Told me parts are cheap (think he buys from a shop in Golden Wall) and unless major prob, he DIY all the minor.

i drove that before for a month.

 

1 litre around 5+km to 7km/litre mostly

 

quite good.

 

cos the car is freaking heavy and the ride is solid

 

the engine is quite solid.

One of the most worth it marque to acquire right now.... cist abt 28K+/-

 

Only drawback is road tax.

Actually i am looking into getting one 1997 s280, so the fuel consumption is actually how many km to a litre

so far no good car for sales, either it too bad shape or I am late to propose. any contact as to anyone selling their

s280 . my contact 97766998 thank you

The W124 E class is a better bet in terms of reliability, affordability and ease of finding OEM parts. FC is around 8 to 9 km/L.

 

The W140 S class is around 5 to 6 km/L.

why not get the S280L?? should be more comfortable right??

The current Merc W204 C280 (3L V6) is rated at 10.4 km/L. Actual could be anywhere 8-9 km/L new.

 

The Lexus IS200 (2L IL6) gave 7-8 km/L when new, in the first 3 years.

 

The BMW E83 X3 (2.5L IL6) pre-Valvtronic (non-SI) version gives 6-7 km/L when new, in the first 3 years. But that's on the other extreme of weight plus 4WD.

 

Given that the 1994 S280 is a near-20 year old 2.8L engine, and a much heavier S-Class chassis at that, I can hazard a guess of 5-6 km/L. Cannot be far wrong.
