This E-Class Owner’s Bible™ can help steer you through the purchase of your first Mercedes-Benz, provide the information necessary to maintain your E-Class to factory standards, give you the assurance to speak knowledgeably to your service professional and provide you with the hot setup for better road handling. The prospective buyer will also find tips on what to watch out for, why a pre-purchase inspection is important and why one model may be preferred to another. Do-it-yourself owners will discover a huge hands-on maintenance chapter to help keep their E-Class at peak efficiency.

 Rating:  - Pretty useless for the average ownerI have a 1989 300TE and had bought this book quite a few years back for reference information if anything went amiss in my car. It turns out the book recycles a lot of technical information about the car and its various systems (engine, electrical, lubrication, etc., available probably through the user's manual or books on the history of the Benz). There is little useful information or tips beyond that. My engine started overheating about 2 years ago and there is no information in the book on what ... Read More Rating:  - good basic knowledge for the MB "E" seriesthis is not a manual for advanced repairs on your car, but it is a good source of information of the different areas of strenth and the less so. It shouldn't have been titled as a BIBLE because in that case it does fall very short of the target. Rating: - A msut have W124 bookThis is a must have Mercedes W124 chassis publication. A buyer's guide, a maintenance and a repair book with tons of photos and a very concise text. Rating:  - Great Before you Buy purchase, pretty good afterI bought this book because the owner's manual in my '95 E320 had gone missing with the previous owner, and I wanted to know what all the buttons did. This book will not tell you. It's even a little coy and taunty about it - it gives you hints. But, it is NOT a replacement for the owner's manual. About a third of the book is reasonably useless once you've purchased a used Benz, unless you just enjoy reading about the history of your car. Which I did. And it won't really help you if something seriously ... Read More Rating: - Great Resource for fans of the 124Great starting point for educating yourself on the 124 chassis benz. Probably won't contain enough DIY info for some, but as a starting point, Stu Ritter's book can't be beat. Browse for similar items by category:
