Used 1997 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E320 4dr Sedan Consumer Reviews
Can't miss!
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 1997 MB I.L.6
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

my 1997 300 series mercedes benz sedan
great power, very reliable, only 3 oil changes in 5 years, paint job superb,seats very comfortable with electric controls
Great Reliable Car
We bought this car which was a demo by the seller at the dealership. We haven't had any major problems exept for the back drivers side window wouldn't roll up one day, but we had to buy a new window motor for it, which it was under warranty at the time. It is a very comfortable ride and the emblem on the front makes the driver feel like royalty. It gets preety good gas milege exept for the fact we put premium gas in it while we put regular in my Tahoe. Overall this has been and excellent car. It would be perfect if the servicing wasn't so expensive!!
First Benz and I love it.
This is my first Mercedes and I could not be happier. This car actually makes me want to go and drive somewhere. It has the perfect balance of everything I want in a car - looks, performance, comfort and reliabiliy. I also find it very interesting that it has excellent visibility while driving at night. I assume that whatever the windshield is made of, it does a good job of filtering out the glare of oncoming traffic. Keeping in mind that this is a 4 door sedan, I five the car very high marks for the way it handles corners and country (twists and turns) driving, while the engine has plenty of power (and torgue) for passing, merging or just getting up to speed.
