So far I havent had a chance to really review the car, I will say that other then seeming a little sluggish even compared to my Montero...the ride is a dream....Im definitely torn apart by my love for my wife, the new baby...and the E320...especially since it will be my wife's car and shell do most of the driving in it!
Do 96-up series drive and handle significantly better than 94-95's. The look of the 94-95 gages remind me of my dad's 1973 MB 220. I have so much good memories from that car. With its 2.2L 4 cylinder engine,4 speed maunal transmisson, and manual sliding sunroof, I used to push it at 100-110MPH all the time. I loved that car.
I know 94-95 feel much more solid than newer E's.
I am the proud new owner of an E320 here in Toronto. Got an excellent deal up in Sudbury (paid about 2k off MSRP). It is silver with black interior. Very nice car...
Any questions about it fire me an email

Anyway, just put new Michelins on it which changed the ride entirely (the dealer had Continentals ContiTouring 195/60/15 on the front and some crappy BFGoodrich tires 195/65/15 on the rear).
Well, at least it came with a 12K/12month power train warranty, plus I like this dealer and they've been around for 25 plus years in the metro Denver area, selling pre-owned Mercedes.
Nice to be aboard.......I hope!
Is the price right? And is that too much miles? Since the warranty will be for just about 14000 miles before it expires. What maintenance problems should I be aware of?
Please give feedback asap.Thanks
After making an appointment (about a 9 day wait) I noticed antifreeze leaking and had to add a couple of quarts of water/antifreeze per day for the 4 days before it went to the garage. I thought it was another head gasket sympton as did the service manager. But after they finished the head gasket and refilled the cooling system, the water pump bearings turned out to be the cause of that leak. So another 2 days in the garage for a water pump. They did give me big discount on the water pump work. They already owned the rest of my monthly allowance (for about 3 years!!) for the head gasket..!
Does anyone out there have any idea what a car like this is worth? Hope someone can help.
Thanks.
Needless to say, my own dealer got the job and they did a good job except stripped a couple of threads in the head that hold the spark plug cover in place. There are still 5 other screws that hold the cover just fine. I discovered this last week when I changed the plugs myself. Not a big deal since I don't think it will ever get another spark plug change; it's got 126,000 miles now. At least I won't be the owner at 200,000.
She had about 72K showing on the clock and I took it to a trusted mechanic and to MB for a used car inspection and they both gave it clean bill of health. There were some issues that I had taken care of and now am very happy with a formidable automobile. I have owned many, many different types but this is my first Mercedes. I will probably happily pay for maintenance and since I have sources for reliable repairs in both drive train and brakes and suspension, I feel that I will be treated fairly.
I think I read that the E body style I have is the last one they made before the merger with Chrysler had any effect on build quality. I think it's the W body style and it was in the pipes long before the merger screwed things up.
The earlier MB's were considerably more dependable than the newer stuff.
Just feels like a million bucks!
with 27000 miles on it. Recently the car has developed a rough idle at times, happens in gear at stop usually after car warmed. On acceleration will hesitate and buck slightly
and than be fine for a while..has been to dealer where all has checked out ok. No check engine light on..was wondering if anyone out there has had a similar issue???
Thanks in advance...
Thank you,
Jill
