Great car

2002 E 430 4matic I've owned it since 2016 with 110000 miles on it. Now nearing 185000 miles. Best car I've ever owned. Fixed a leaky seal and replaced the PSE and tires. This car has power and can corner well. It's solid and quiet.

Not a Mercedes E320 fan !

I purchased a 2002 Mercedes E320 sedan. I got exactly 82 miles before it quit running. Code advised upstream bank 1 O2 I had it changed and went 22 miles broke down again check engine back on. It was towed to a garage. I am awaiting for problem to be determined by the mechanic The car is no where as good as a Camry I had and given a choice I would never buy a used Mercedes again.

Extremely Reliable

This car is is very reliable, especially in the snow. The 4 matic makes this thing run snow like my Dodge Ram pickup. My review would be a 5 star except for Mercedes itself. I purchased this car at the end of the analog “Teleaid” system. Then Mercedes said a change over to digital would cost me $6,000.00. This was never published and had I known I would have waited another year for the 2003 Digital system.

Most Powerful and Secure Car I've Owned

This has been SO reliable for me! I've had it for 16 years, and very little ever goes wrong with it, ever. Such a workhorse, so comfortable, quiet, great handling... Excellent German Car!

17 years old brings on lots of problems

Love the car but have had to pay, including repairs, triple what I should have. Many repairs needed, many due to car being 17 years old where things break. Was told car was in excellent condition. NOT SO. Beware of a car 17 years old.

All wheel drive is a game changer!

Kind of like driving a German tank, but in a good way! Corners like a pregnant yak. Seats are a little bench-like. Seat heaters only heat the butt, not the back!

Excellent car for the money!

Great vehicle. What can you say about a 16 years old car? Very sweet! Not perfect but the little cosmetics I can fix myself. Great car for the money!

Been the best benz I?ve owned.

I?ve owned 11MBs mostly S& sl class , but when I chose to go down a class to E class , I found out it was a step up . Very dependable looks good great on mpg just a little less luxury, which o found I could live without .135.000 when purchased 259,000 now!just drove from Vegas to Miami and back still rolling. News flash Eclass are really MBs best models real talk people.
