BTW, after hours of searching on the web for a source, I found only one parts house that had springs listed and I had to request a quote via email. They wanted $92 each plus $15 total for S&H. I called my local dealer and they had them in stock and sold them to me for $82 ea. No S&H...! I just had to drive 22 miles round trip to get them..
I have always liked my dealer for their fairness.
I have looked in engine goes to #25, drivers side of dash 1-12, and under rear passenger seat.
Any clue what I did last time. Thanks
He couldn't do anything about the AC blowing luke-cool air at the driver and frigid air at the passenger. Says that since around 2000, MB has implemented some kind of computer monitor/control of the AC system and ANY modification or work on the AC system has to be followed up by re-programming of the computer. Although he has a software package for most Euro cars, it doesn't include what he needs for this MB function. So I brought it back to the dealer today who found that the compressor had a leak and they wanted to replace it for $1400... I asked him about getting a used compressor (my car has 109K miles on it..!) and he called back in 4 minutes with a used compressor having only 42K miles and now the job will cost about $850 instead.. I'm getting it fixed and then this sucker is getting sold within the next 6 months. This is my second MB E-class that required big expenditures in the 110K mile range to keep them going. That is gonna stop.. I'm moving to Mazda or Honda or Hyundai (Genesis looks good!)..
Unless these conditions ... 2WD Mercedes is more than enough. The maint cost of AWD is not worth the expense. If anyone else has any thoughts...
first post..
I found a nice 320 e wagon with 55,000 miles, one owner and dealer maintained... it seems nice and the miles are low. I think the car would suit my needs very well and the asking price is around 12,500. seems like a good deal considering the milage. also consumers reports is not as harsh on this year mercedes as it is on most others.. is there any suggestions of what i should expect in maintenance over the next few years? any problems that are looming. there are quite a few independent mercedes repair shops, are they the best approach to long term maintenance. can i / should I get an extended warranty on an almost 10 year car? and suggestions or observations would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.
Different size tires front and rear. :confuse:
I own a 1999 E430 with only 32,000 and I am the original owner. I am considering purchasing another auto, could anyone tell me what is th value of my auto?
Thanks

try edmund.com or kbb,com
I might buy it do you live in midwest
Why don't you go over to the Real-World Trade-In Values discussion. They'll be able to tell you. Be sure to provide all the information requested in the red/orange list above the post box.
Good luck!!
I'm sorry, but the Forums can't be used for buying or selling.
Hope you can find what you're looking for!
The local alarm/auto electric folks won't touch the MB factory alarm system so it's the dealer or nothing. ANy thoughts on what this might be and maybe even an approx. cost to fix?
:mad:
Is the 05 reliable
What type of issues have people experienced with the 05 model, and around how much have people spent fixing those issues.
Any information would be much appreciated.
Thanks much.
The problem was the transmission-selector-switch itself - it had to be replaced.
I have a 2006 E 350 that I bought in July. I want to do my own repairs on small things vs going the dealer and I was thinking about buying the cd from MB for $115. Has anyone tried this cd or are there any other options out there.
Many thanks.
I would pay the $115 and get the OEM CD vs. copied ones your find on E-bay that could be missinf files or sections.
Joe
Thanks. I did check ebay and there was really nothing else out there.
On my 2001 E430, it cost $320 to replace the driver side valve cover two-piece gasket. They gave me a $480 bill first until I started taking apart their bill.
Let them know that you have read your warranty and have searched other engine part warranties and are aware that this is covered before they tell you it is not.
Joe
Just go back in a few weeks and tell them the smell of oil bothers you and it is NEVER a good idea for oil to drip or mist over hot exhaust. The oil could catch on fire whether it is a drip or a mist.
Joe
If yes, I bet it's just normal/expected tire noise you are hearing.
A possible test to help confirm that is to try the exact same turns on iciest/wettest surface you can find. Or maybe off pavement - on grass or dirt.
I need to change the chrome door handle on front passenger door side. I need to take off the door panel but I am having hard time. Any tip would be appreciated.
