Great car so far. Powerful inline 6 that gets high 20's mpg on highway. No problems yet

I always wanted an E320 MB. My dream materialized in April of 2002. This is my first of many MB purchases. MB will be the only brand of car I will drive going forward. I totaly love the car, and so does my family and friends. My E320 MB is definitely a head-turner!!! Coming from a Honda civic, I'm in awe. I recommend this vehicle to all.

I bought this car 1.5 months ago with only 67,500 miles and it drives great! Previous owner took great care of this car and it shows. Only basic maintenance required over a nine year period! I had this car thoroughly checked by a mechanic and myself on rack and was amazed at the great condition of this car. If you take care of these cars they will last for a long time. I plan to get 300,000 miles from this car.

Not bad for a 10 year old

Our car now has 74k on it, we purchased with 54k 2 years ago. It had some issues with some of the seals, but we've turned it into our family car and a daily driver. Heck, before we bought it the car averaged 5.4k a year. We replaced a 1996 Maxima (250k miles), with this car, and honestly the older Maxima had more advanced features. However, having said that you can't image the status upgrade this car will give you, if that's indeed important to you. But seriously, this was not our first European auto, but we were a bit suprised by the price of maintenance and the lack of performance upgrades on the market.
