5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for anyone thinking of buying a used MB, January 9, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Illustrated Buyer's Guide: Mercedes-Benz (Paperback)
This is THE book if you are considering a used Benz. Frank covers all makes and models. But starting with models from the 60's up to current he has comprehensive reviews, what to look for, and what to look out for. Hints on what is, and will be collectible. This book is enjoyable and informative to read, and has lots of great photos.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must for Mercedes Fans, March 21, 2000
By Robert W. Potter (Minneapolis, MN) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Illustrated Buyer's Guide: Mercedes-Benz (Paperback)
The book title is a bit of a misnomer. While there's lots of very practical, highly useful information for the prospective buyer, the book also presents a comprehensive and highly readable survey of Mercedes history. If you have never quite been able to figure out what all the various model designations are, this book will answer your questions. As you can expect, the book is particularly helpful for those in the market for a used Benz. And the author treats those who need "daily drivers" as respectfully as the vintage collector. While the author is clearly a Mercedes enthusiast, he does not pull his punches in assessing the weak points in various models. This book is a "must read" before you go looking -- before you get three pointed stars in your eyes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Required Reading!, August 2, 2000
By Thomas Hundt (San Francisco, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Illustrated Buyer's Guide: Mercedes-Benz (Paperback)
This is pretty much an essential book if you're thinking about acquiring a Mercedes, or just want to know your way around the line. Great explanations of features. Great info on the various models and how they changed over their years of production. Lots of photos and tables with specs. Succinct and to the point. Definitely worth getting.

The title is very misleading. Remember that this book has not been updated since 1998, so unless you are looking to buy a car older than '98 this is really not a "buyer's... Read more
