A solid and reliable car

This car was bought used has been a reliable and excellent car for passengers, long trips, and cargo. The fold-down seats and their easy removal adds room for cargo/luggage or mattresses and furniture and has a rear cover to hide anything you have back there. Similar car today is half its size....for $60-80k! A solid utility and passenger car, versatile and reliable.

Over 300,000 Original Miles!

I bought my new 2001 e430 in October of 2000 and have loved driving it for every one of its over 300,000 miles! I have maintained it with only OEM Mercedes Benz parts, replaced the oil only with Mobil 1 5w30 Synthetic Oil, and the other fluids with Mercedes fluids only. From day 1, I drive it like a race car in the city and on the highway. Because of this, I am replacing tires and brakes every 18 to 24 months. The problems I have had have been due to wear and tear such as having to replace the radiator, water pump, alternator, a/c compressor, all of the window regulators, the central locking air system pump, central air blower, shocks, spark plugs, various electronic engine sensors, the battery, and the windshield. Although I have meticulously maintained it inside and out, the paint has started to oxidize on the rear bumper and around the rear view mirrors. Not bad for a car that that’s 18 years old with over 300,000 miles on it. The w210 Series has got to be the greatest vehicle Mercedes Benz has ever produced! Awesome!

Hard to Find E-430 Mercedes Sport Model

Safest vehicle on the road rated #1. Perfect for High School Student looking for Dependability Performance and Safety. Truly a "Pocket-Rocket" corners like it's on rails, big V-8 but gets great mileage 21MPG Hwy. A Joy to drive, A Joy to own...it's a Mercedes.

Great Car!

Drives great and still in good condition. Not too flashy but still CLASSY! Bose speakers in back window, brakes and rodders just changed. I love this car but timw i moved in something different. And being a mercedes benz owner comes with so many perks. You wont regret it.

Very reliable car

Last very well build E class models from 1998 to 2002. Yet another wonderfully predictable sedan from Mercedes-Benz. So what else is new
