MERCEDES E-CLASS (1993 - 1995)宾士电子类(1993年至1995年)
If you want a Mercedes-Benz, with its image of restrained style, disciplined authority and sporting understatement, then the car you're probably thinking about is an E-class.如果你想要奔驰,其形象克制风格,纪律和体育局虚报,那么你大概想的是汽车电子类. The first generation model (produced between 1993 and 1995 though estates, coupes and cabriolets continued for a while) is an excellent buy and there are plenty to choose from on the used market.第一代模型(1993至1995年间,虽然制作屋coupes和cabriolets持续了一会儿)是一个很好买多得是用市场的选择.
HISTORY历史
Originally, the E-class was a line-up of mid-range models, ranging from the 200E to the 300E, introduced late in 1985.本来,电子类是同行的中程型号、牌子的折不等,在1985年底推出. Saloons, then estates were offered first before coupes and, ultimately, convertibles arrived.发廊,然后屋前80707coupes,最终抵达convertibles. In 1993, the range was rationalised and renamed as the E-class line-up at the same time as enjoying a minor facelift; you pick the later cars by their clear front indicator lenses and wide side mouldings.1993年重组并改名为范围是电子类列队在同一时间享受未成年整容;后来你挑车的鲜明标志门前方宽镜片模.
This first generation E-class range was a huge success for Mercedes.这第一代电子类范围,取得圆满成功,为宾士. Over 10 years, it held sway as Europe's favourite executive saloon; even months before it began to be replaced in 1995 by an all-new model range, it remained Britain's best selling luxury car.1000年,当道作为欧洲最受欢迎的房长官;甚至几个月前就开始取代1995全新模式靶场它依然英国的最佳销售豪华轿车.
WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
'The Best or nothing' was the personal motto of Gottlieb Daimler and the criterion he applied in creating the automobile.'最好还是什么'个人座右铭gottlieb戴姆勒和他标准适用于制造汽车. A century later, it remains the guiding spirit of the company he co-founded.百年后的今天,它仍然指示精神,他的公司共同创立.
Most Mercedes-Benz customers feel the same.大多数梅赛德斯-奔驰客户同样的感觉. Few would consider a Vauxhall or a Ford, a Rover or a Saab as an alternative, however luxurious.路上还是很少人会考虑福特,罗孚绅宝或作为替代办法,但豪华. None of those cars could give them the feeling of driving a universal automotive benchmark, a car which sets the standards by which others must be judged.这些车可以让他们感受汽车驾驶通用基准一辆载标准必须由他人来判断.
There's a great deal of mythology in that of course.还有大量的神话,当然. In many ways, the Stuttgart company can no longer claim to be in a class of its own, with great strides by rival manufacturers, notably neighbours BMW, challenging the premium prices still being asked by the three-pointed star.在许多方面,斯图加特再也公司自称是在阶级自己对手制造了很大的步伐,尤其是邻近的宝马、有挑战性的溢价价格仍在问三指星.
Even so, the ownership of a Mercedes-Benz still remains the mark of instant status.即便如此,拥有宾士仍烙印速食地位. Somehow, just seating yourself behind the wheel is enough to send a little rush of pride seeping through the veins.或多或少,只是自己座位后面的车轮匆忙一点就足以自豪送经静脉渗漏. You've made it.你把它.
WHAT YOU PAY 您付出
If first generation post-1993 examples are beyond your budget, then don't worry.如果第一代后的1993年预算实例超越你,就不要担心. As with every Mercedes-Benz, build quality is so good that you can afford to consider the older late Eighties/early Nineties 200E-300E cars that were almost identical to the first generation E-class.如同每宾士,建设质量是好的,所以你可以考虑老末八十年代/九十年代初期牌子-臂车几乎一致的第一代电子类. If these cars feature high mileages, don't be too concerned ?如果这些高级轿车特点哩,不要太关心? provided you buy from reputable sources and insist on a full service history.只要你光顾信誉良好来源,坚持全面服务的历史.
As far as the real first generation E-class cars are concerned, there are plenty of well equipped 1993-1995 E200 and E220 saloon models around within the £4,000-£6,000 price bracket; you may even come across a frugal E250 diesel for between about £5,000 and £7,000.至于真正的第一代电子类车而言,多得是精良1993-1995e200、e220型号球馆内大约4000英镑-6000英镑的价格托架;你甚至碰到俭朴之间e250柴油约5000英镑和7000英镑.
For an E220 Coupe (93K to 96P), plan for just over £7,500 to about £10,000 while the convertible goes for between £10,000 (93L) and £14,000 (96P).一个e220采伐(93k至96p)计划刚超过10,000英镑7500英镑左右,而10000英镑兑换无二间(93l)和14000英镑(96p). For a six-cylinder E280 saloon, allow £6,000 (1993K) to just under £9,300 (1995N) and for the E320 saloon, allow between £7,000 and £9,000.为期6缸平原球馆,允许6000英镑(1993k)略低于9300英镑(1995n)为雨刮球馆、允许和7000英镑9000英镑之间.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR 寻找什么
Buying from a franchised dealership is undeniably expensive, but it does take the worry out of purchasing an E-class.从购买专利行为是不可否认昂贵,但这起收购的担忧电子类. Going this route also entitles you to Mercedes' helpful PCP finance scheme and an impressive back-up package of after-sales benefits.走这条路也都有权向奔驰的帮助氯酚信贷计划和可观的后备一揽子售后效益.
A nice metallic colour is preferable, as is automatic transmission, leather upholstery and air conditioning, all of which will guarantee an easier sale when it?s time to sell on.金属精美彩色最好,如自动变速器、真皮座垫、空调、所有这些都将保证出售时容易吗?收盘时卖.
If you're buying alone, look out for badly treated cars which have been disguised.如果你买就有好自为之糟车已变相. Telltale signs are sagging seats and shiny steering wheel rims.跟迹象低靡座位和方向盘钢圈明亮.
REPLACEMENT PARTS 替换零件
(approx based on an E200 2.0 estate): A clutch assembly will be around £155.(大约2.0基于e200地产):离合器大会将于155英镑左右. A starter motor will be about £195 and a radiator around £175.一会起动马达、散热器约195英镑175英镑左右. An alternator is around £300, a full exhaust about £880 (including catalyst).300英镑左右的发电机,全部用尽约880英镑(包括催化剂).
Brake pads front and rear are about £60 for the front and £40 for the rear.刹车皮前方和后方约60英镑,40英镑,前方后方. A replacement headlamp is close to £275.更换前照灯接近275英镑.
ON THE ROAD 在路上
An E-class isn't cheap, and its price isn't one that most owners would attempt to justify by quoting from the standard equipment list.电子类是不便宜,其价格不是一个最主要试图为引用标准装备清单. Having said that, the specification on most post-1993 cars does run to anti-lock brakes, power for the steering, sunroof, windows and mirrors, a driver's airbag, central locking and lumbar support for the seats.尽管如此,大多数规格后的1993年汽车是否跑得防抱死刹车,功率为导向、天窗、窗户和镜子,司机的安全气囊、中央锁、腰支持席位.
In the first generation E220 for example, acceleration to 60 takes 10.8 seconds, but the car's slippery shape does ensure an above average maximum speed of 123mph (or 131mph in the case of the saloon).在第一代e220为例,需8月10日至60加速度秒但车子的形状并确保湿滑,平均时速可达123mph以上(或在发生了球馆131mph).
Handling is precise - the car turns into corners with a crisp fluidity - and is aided by excellently weighted power steering that offers just the right amount of assistance.处理准确-车转入一角落脆流动-是借助于加权助力转向出色,只是提供适当的援助金额. Less welcome from the point of view of the sporting driver is the giant steering wheel which.不受欢迎的观点是巨人的运动驾驶方向盘其中.
Once you get used to that, you learn to respect the impressive reserves of grip on offer.一旦你习惯了,你要学会尊重储量可观握投标. The powerful, progressive brakes add to the all-round feeling of safety which the car imbues to its owner.强大的、渐进的制动加上全方位的安全感觉使得其轿车车主. Less familiar will be the unusual fly-off parking brake, applied by a pedal mounted on the left-hand side of the driver's footwell.那么熟悉将寻常飞客停车制动,采用了安装在踏板左边司机footwell. You release it with a facia-mounted handle.你用它释放筋膜展开处理.
The interior itself looks less austere than perhaps you might expect; Mercedes brightened things up in later years by the addition of shiny polished wood fittings, although the atmosphere remained very Germanic.内政部本身显得那么或许你会比预期严峻;宾士点亮起来晚年加上明亮的抛光木配件、虽然气氛依然很日耳曼. You soon learn to live with the firm seats, which prove to be deceptively comfortable over long journeys, but less impressive on short ones.你很快学会怎样在坚实的席位,这证明是假舒服了长途跋涉,但是少短的印象.
E-class estates offer a usefully sized loading area that's reached via a low loading sill.电子类提供了有益屋型载货面积的低负荷达到经坎. They can't rival the spaciousness of Volvo's estate cars, but should prove ample for the needs of most owners.他们无法媲美的宽敞的沃尔沃的汽车产业,而是要证明拥有最丰富的需要.
OVERALL 总体
If you can afford the asking price, then an E-class becomes a surprisingly affordable car to own.如果你能负担的要价,那么,电子类得起车居然成了自己. That's down to design efficiency and tiny depreciation.那小小的降至设计效率和折旧. Your accountant will approve.您会计师会批准.
