I bought it as a certified pre-owned. the dealer was great..deliver the car to my wife's office..Fed Exp overnight a spare key as soon as my wife it on 2nd day..my local MB dealer pick up and return it for service..need road side assistance three times..the good side they showed up in an hour everytime. great services again. drive and ride great last 3 years. Cost to keep it is not cheap at all. my last invoice to replace 2 sensors and a few small things came to $2000. In last 3 services, nothing under $500. Engine noise increase in last 6 months. Dealer say it is normal.

Very good MPG (almost 25 commuting, near 30 on the interstates) and solid feel. Super ride.

Love my Benz

This is my 3rd Mercedes. I bought this 2.5 years ago with 75,000 miles and have 120,00 on it now. Routine maintenance is more expensive, but at the end of the day, Im not driving a Honda and dont expect this to act/cost like one. I love the feel, the weight, and the safety. My gas mileage is getting better with time. (22/30 respectively) I could not be happier! Know what you're buying (good maintenance history, hasn't been abused) and know what to expect (its more expensive to maintain).

This car is tight,controlled and the only car I have driven that has zero wind noise under any conditions. The only problem a first was the Goodyear tires that vibrated at highway speeds. Once they were replaced by Michelins this cars was like a jewel.

Less than 80,000 (original) miles. Only used it for short trips and goi no to church. Never any problems except the back passenger window electrical panel went out. A few years before that I was sitting at a stoplight and a car hit another and the second car hit me on the front driver side. Clean inside. Original floor mats.

last mistake

Unbeleivable that this car can have something go wrong every six months like clock work. I drove my Lexus for over 125000 miles with one repair (air) In 84000 miles I have had to replace both rear window motors, engine sensors twice, air fan unit,and a oil seal--a friend told me he carries oil in his trunk. I won't make this mistake again.

Worth the Price

We were lucky to find an off-lease E320S4 w/just 17K miles. Watch fuel capacity: it's 18.1 INCLUDING reserve. Owner's manual appears ambiguous re 2.4 g "reserve". A sporty ride, disguised as a family wagon.
