Used 1995 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Convertible Consumer Reviews
Driving my Sun-Roofed Bank Vault
I just acquired it!! Finally!Mega- comfort, Mega-quiet, Mega-class!! $93k new in 1995 got a buyer cupholders (Yes, I have them on the doors...$40 apiece), a decent sound system,super- chrome wheels, and the best drop-top coupe ever built. I've heard that Mercedes lost money on every one that they built due to engineering costs. All I know is that I can fly this baby over bad railroad tracks at 70 mph and the cowl doesn't move a centimeter. 500 lbs of lead in the 4 corners will do wonders for cowl-shake. Doesn't help off-the-line acceleration, but she'll boogie up to 130 mph without a whimper. Classic proportions, precision engineering, and faultless built add up to good investment.
Best used car for the money!
I had a Subaru Sti and replaced it with this. This is truly the last great Mercedes convertible! More like a rolls than a BMW. Elegant without being flashy. Great smooth transmission without a too big engine. Plenty of power but really a luxury car, not a sports car.

Instant Classic
The convertible is a remarkable car. I bought mine only recently and the car feels like a tank (almost as heavy as one, 4000lbs) and drives as smooth as a magic carpet. Very civilized and quiet, its aristocratic aura will rub off on you. Reliable so far (64k). The acceleration is very lethargic but once it gets going it carries momentum very effortlesly. What left an impression on me is how quiet it is with the top down and the rear windscreen up, doing 80 it feels like I am traveling first class. Truly a timeless jewel, I am the third and most likely the final owner.
e320 cabriolet
This has to be the finest 4 place cabriolet ever built. I have had mine for right at 5 years now and every time I get in it to drive it I have to smile. Great gas mileage and once you upgrade the tires and wheels to 16 or 17inch it handles wonderfully. I have the sportline and would highly recommend that option. Not great rear leg room but it will do in a pinch. Engine is a great machine, I upgraded the rear end to a more aggressive gearing and now it performs like it should have from the factory.
Amazing car
This must be one of the best convertibles for 4 ever built. Very quiet, no rattles at all. Handling is better than the weight and skinny tires would suggest. Engine and transmission are plenty strong and very smooth. If there are only 2 in the car, put up the wind blocker and talk quietly with the top down. You'll be amazed.
Have to sell my dream car cant get parts
If you are buying the cabriolet. Be aware. Interior parts ie mirrors, floor mats, vanity mirrors are not available. The cabriolet was a very limited production. The worst issue is the hydraulic top parts. Beyond expensive and getting harder to find. I bought my car as a collectible. In two years I have driven it 4k miles the car has 100k on it. I have put thousands into this car. Final straw was another hydraulic part that cost me 600 after I spend 2k repairing them two years ago. I have finally hit the point of no return. I will be selling this car. I love old mercedes but this has gotten ridiculous. It is one of the most beautiful cars ever produced. Yet not being able to get parts has made it a nightmare. I will be buying an old SL500 parts are easy to find. Yet if you bought a 95 wagon or sedan its an incredible car and parts are easy to find. Regarding the convertible if you are planning to keep it as a classic and can afford the top and interior problems it will go up in value. If you want a play car to enjoy and do not have the budget. DO NOT BUY IT. Mine has been in the shop for two months. Yet I will always love the look of this car.

mercedes e320 coupe convertible
fantastic looking car with comfort and good re sale values. a modern classic that will only appreciate in value, one of the last true great mercedes coupe convertibles made, buy one and keep hold of it!
WOW...I love this car
This car now has 51,000 and it is hard to understand how it stays so solid. This convertible has virtually no flex in the body. It has adequate power to do some "enjoyment" driving. It is refined, even by todays standards. I can put the kids in the back and cruise for hours.
converted
It was difficult to research this vehicle once I found it. With such a limited production, there seems to be little press. The dealer recommended test-driving with the top up to experience the quiet, solid feel of the car. Its like driving a hard-top. Don't confuse this with a convertible sports car, though, it is more a well mannered car with a top that folds down. I'm hooked on driving again.
