Superb!

Over the years I have owned Pontiac, Opel, Audi, Subaru, Volkswagen, Isuzu, Jeep, Dodge, Ford, and Mercedes-Benz automobiles. The German cars in general were far better than the others, but my 2001 MB E320 is in a class by itself. Reliability, safety, performance, comfort, design...in all categories this vehicle leaves the others eating it's dust. I intend to maintain it as the last car I ever own (overly optimistic, I know). If you can find one that has been well maintained, buy it. You'll come to feel the same way about it that I do.

Look no further

This is my 3rd MB, and if possible, I'll never own anything else. I think the value of buying one used is unbeatable. If you're rich, buy the new one, help the economy a bit, don't be a skinflint. These cars are built with such foresight and care, it's a thrill to realize how much goes into them. Kind of like French cars, except completely opposite ( I've had 3 Peugeots ). Take care of it, it will last a lifetime.NY

So far

Own the car only weeks, but impressed before I even received it. This car was IT in 2001, and it still maintains it's poise. I bought it at a fraction of what to cost new, and it has most bells and whistles that are offered today. It is still very quiet ride, performance still there, economy as much as can be expected, almost timeless in style and prestige.

Best car buying experience

I live more than 300 miles away but it was worth it to come all the way and buy my car there. Very honest, humble and easy to deal with people. this is how all dealerships should be. Sam was very helpful and bought us lunch because we drove all day to get there. good quality cars. reasonable prices and very easy to deal with. i recommend every one to give them a look before they buy any where.

More Car Than You Need

I have owned several Mercedes S class cars, including an S600 sedan, an S600 coupe, an S500 coupe, and 2 S400's. I should have listened to my mechanic,who said there is no need for a 600 outside of the Autobahn. They are extremely costly to repair, both for the parts and the labor. They also get poor gas milegae, about 13-15 mpg with my 2001 S600. There is really nothing different about the 600's other tahn the engine. So save your money and get a 400 series. Never had a better car.

Road Star

I think this car is most believed and trusted Mercedes-Benz ever. Since I have bought it, I have visited service only for std mileage oil change etc.

A Benz that is TIMELESS

First off, this car is better than any number rating that someone can come up with. Everthing about this car is wonderful. Everthing runs as accordingly. The seats are some of the best, and any car company can't make them, the car rides like butter, the radio is great (LOVE THE BOSE SOUND SYSTEM). You will love this 2001 Mercedes-Benz E class. P.S My car has 130,000 miles on it!!
