Used 2000 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Consumer Reviews
no more mb for me
just got rid of my e320 (bought 7/2000). similar problems as everyone (electronics failure, back window failure, cheap plastic issues, light bulb blowing frequently, windshield wipers replaced often, brake pads replaced often, transmission issues, bad dealership experience-no loaners if not purchased at the service dealership in boston, false alert from computer, etc, etc, etc
Dissapointed
I had the car since 6/2000. I had the brakes changed twice (every 10000 miles) and had electronis problem. Overall it was a dissapointment and my experience with the dealership was more dissapointing. I will never own or think of owning another MB again. My HYUNDAI and Hummer are kept in the garage. I love the Hyundai and the people at the dealership (I had it for three years and I love it, I don't care what people say its already paid off and it paid for itself 120,000 miles and still going strong)

E 320 2000 with past problems
My E320 is a pleasure to drive while being very comfortable; it accelerates like a sporty car but has surprising fuel economy. The suspension is a bit on the hard side but that doesn't matter on good roads. I had some reliability issues in the first 2 years of possession, specialy with the A/C systme but since then, no big problem.
Not a happy MB consumer
Bought the car with 48000 miles, and have replaced every light at least once. One electrical problem after another. Paint is the worst I have every seen, chipping. Everytime there is a problem cost is at minimum $1,000. I would NEVER own another MB. Overrated poorest quality car I have ever owned.
Exceptional car except...
I love this car especially since it consistently gets between 29 and 30 mpg at highway speeds of 75 with the A/C on. One complaint I have is the extensive use of cheap plastic. The plastic vanity mirror fell off of the plastic sun visor in the first year. The plastic center console latch stopped working this month. I also get mysterious electronic malfunctions periodically (3 - 4 times per year) for the ABS and BAS. The malfunctions seem to clear themselves up without having to visit the dealer. And last but not least, the A/C just stopped working. An unusual amout of problems for an otherwise outstanding car.
