Love it

I love this car. I've had it since 2000 and purchased it used. It has been extremely reliable and has required very little service outside of the normal wear and tear. I have the wagon to accomodate my German Shepherds and they love it, too. I've looked at the newer MB wagons and would not trade mine for them even if they were free.

I love these cars.

I bought my first E320 on a whim as it just looked good, and have totally fallen in love. Conformable, classy, safe. a pleasure to drive and very reliable. I now have three 1996,1998,1999. all 320 E class. Electric memory steering and seats , Much more enjoyable and cheaper than a new car. Absolutely no issues at all.

1998 E280 V6

I bought 1998 E 280 with 172 000 Km on the clock in 2015. It has 230000 on the clock now. no big issues only changed oil and filters and brake pads and tyres. No breakdowns or failing to start or rough idling or using water or oil.

Incredible Mercedes E320

These incredibly reliable mid-sized Mercedes Benz vehicles are truly the greatest car made in the world because of their safety in a "HIGH-SPEED" collision, their reliability, gas mileage, beauty, luxury, appointments, and superior handling. No other automotive manufacturer even makes a car like the E320. The German technology has far surpassed the other folk trying to keep up with them and their abilities for designing a car like the E320.

World's safest Luxury cars

The 1998 Mercedes Benz E320 is truly the safest car in the world as well as the greatest car ever made, since their testing ground for car accidents is in Germany where they are driven at HIGH SPEED on the Autobahn. I lived there & saw accidents in excess of 150 miles per hour involving these cars & the occupants walked away without a scratch. That means more to me & my family than silly gas mileage where these cars get a respectable 28 miles per gallon along with the safety & reliability. My life means more to me than other options Japanese cars brag about. Plus, German cars especially Mercedes, have the greatest reliability record of any car in the world.

Great car...Classic appearance with surprising pow

This car meet all my needs. Fun driving car for commuting or road trips. Better gas mileage on Hwy. I drove 12 miles back and forth to work daily and a tank of gas would last me approximately 2weeks

The most handsome car I have ever owned.

This car is a joy to drive. I have driven Jaguars for 18 years, but this Mercedes is so much smoother and delightful to ride in.
