How Do I Compare 1991 Mercedes Benz 300 and 350 Models
1. Go to the Edmunds website to start your specification comparisons. Choose Used Cars from the home page and input the correct year, make and model. Choose the 350 series level you want to compare.
2. Choose the level of the 300 class that you want to compare to the 350 series--three different engine options are available. The most similar levels are the 350SE and 300SL because of similarly sized engine. Both are also rear-wheel drive.
3. Change back and forth between 350-class sedans during your comparisons. Click Specs from the left menu to view any model dimensions. Compare exterior and interior dimensions for both vehicles to determine which has more room or which weighs more.
4. Compare horsepower and torque for both classes. One has more torque than the other but less horsepower--it may prove worthwhile to drive both vehicles to compare acceleration.
5. Scroll to the bottom of the page to compare fuel economy. The 350-class is a turbodiesel, so better gas mileage is not unusual. Not even the four-cylinder 300-class can achieve the same gas mileage as the turbodiesel 350-class.
6. Click Available Features from the left menu to compare standard and optional features. Compare engines, transmissions, luxury and standard safety features.
7. Click on Resale values to view dealer retail, trade-in and private-sale values to see which class retains its value better.
8. Test-drive both vehicles, if possible. Even though you are able to compare specifications online, a test drive helps to complete your comparisons so you can better assess each vehicle.
