Bought this '97 model after crashing my wife's Altima, best thing to have happened! The wife thought it was too big, but she wouldn't let me use it now! Well built, luxurious and stately. People have a hard time believing it is 10 years old. No problems so far, but the fuel efficiency on premiun gas isn't great. Not complaining though

The best ride ever! I bought this car new and drove it for over 11 years. Well made and very low maintenance and great gas mileage for a V8. Unfortunately, I loaned it to a friend that wrecked it. I miss my wonderful car.

I actually love this vehicle, I use it for my DD and haven't had not 1 issue with it, I spent $2,000.00 on it about 5 years ago with 47k miles, I now have 122,344k miles on it, I change the oil every 5k, and I change the air filter every 10k, I change the plugs,wires,etc. every 50k and the brakes when the sensor told me to around the 120k mile mark. I noticed if I purchase the parts and bring it to a certified MB mechanic ( not the brakes tbh I used a local Precision Tune ) still bought the brake pads and sensors it comes out to be way less than the maintenance on my wife's 2016 Audi A4 ( she likes to use the dealership ) oil change plus air filter and service check cost me around $81.00 unless I need a new filter than it's around $93.00. The brakes with sensors, and installed $118.00, I only use premium 93 and if your a Sam's Club member its between $2.04 - $2.69 per gallon. All in all it's the best $2,000.00 I have ever spent on a vehicle I have invested small amounts of money here and there that wasn't warranted like original Alarm Code stickers, and a ceramic coating. But long story short, make sure you keep up with the maintenance and you too will love this great vehicle

Purchased an off lease from dealer. Had 49.5K miles. Needed align and new tires. Having to learn how to drive RWD in KC winters. I have trouble falling in love with cars after having been a sales rep who got company cars for so long. I LOVE THIS CAR!! The drive, the feel, the quality even after the miles and years are exceeding my expectations. Now if I can only keep the rednecks with pickkups and American made cars from wanting to park too close to me to improve the looks of their vehicles....... and dinging my car......
