Used 2001 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Sedan Consumer Reviews
Awesome Auto
I purchased this auto at auction and it rocks! I am 6'4" and the car fits with room for someone behind me. The engine is more than you need and it handles great in the mountains. I have owned Bimmers before and this is a softer ride somewhat (which my wife likes) but it is less stressful after one long day in the car. Buy it!
E320 sedan loving it
My wife calls this car her rocket when she touches the throttle it is gone. Excellent mpg 21 in the city, moon roof opens with touch of button but you have to hold the button for it to close. In order to fix the pixels for time and temp dealer says need to replace whole instrument cluster $800 overall we will never buy anything else but Mercedes from now on.

GREATEST MERCEDES EVER
So where to start off with this piece of beauty that was beautiful? My parents purchased this car for me (a college student) back in August 2014 and sadly we had to lay her to rest because I got T-boned with my friend present, we were coming home from the Eagles game against the Houston Texans on Sunday, December 23, 2018. Of course I took the hood ornament to remind myself that she saved two lives. I was the driver and the car got t-boned on the driver side. Had so many adventures with my W210. Got hit really hard at an unknown speed (don't know how fast the guy was going who hit me so HARD). Suffered ZERO ABSOLUTELY ZERO INJURIES and same with my friend. This car did play an important role in my life and she was the absolute best car that I had ever driven and it makes me cry that she is gone forever. This was the last best Mercedes that Mercedes built because doesn't matter how fancy the newer ones are this Benz drove like a dream with little to no issues. I wish I could post the pics on here but I can't. It's rather ironic the night before the accident occurred, my mom told me to drive her piece of **** Honda CR-V 2007 which did not have an airbag in the driver door (did have a side curtain to cover the window), while my Benz had an airbag in the door and the side curtain airbag. The day after the crash I sat in my mom's Honda and saw where I got hit. In her car she has an armrest while the Benz had an airbag and that would have been painful if I was in the Honda and her car most likely would have tipped on its side and my friend being next to me would have been trapped. I most likely would have been in the hospital with my friend for maybe a week or who knows but didn't even have to go to the hospital because I knew I was safe and my friend as well. This is why I loved my mercedes and she will NOT and I said NOT be the last Mercedes that I own. Alright my dad has two (one for him and his old one in the garage for over a decade now) but she will not be the last Mercedes that I own. Its rather funny a ton of my friends asked me (BEFORE THE ACCIDENT TOOK PLACE) all of them said, so when you graduate college which car are you going to buy? I said back at all of them, do you know what kind of question you just asked me???? Also my mother really wanted to get rid of the car once I graduated and I wasn't going to allow her to do that to my baby. If you want my opinion, BUY IT!!!! This car is well worth the money for its power and safety. The only regret I had about this car was is I should have gone for the E320 Wagon because I have a big dog, Newfoundland, so she could not scratch the back seats because they were in perfect condition when we bought it from the first owner and two I'm more of a traveler in the summer and the Wagon would have been a much better suit for me personally. I know my description is all over because this car always drove me happy. Lastly, yes I was able to get a bunch of hot ladies to go out for dinner with me and me driving this vehicle. College gentlemen if you want to impress a hot lady go for this car. If you end up marrying her then great but if she says that it's time to get rid of that old car DON'T LISTEN TO HER because then that is a sign that she is sick and not being herself. The W210 can easily run up to a million miles easy and still drive like its a newborn while Ford or Chevy and the American vehicles would be driving like a grumpy old grandpa before it can EVEN reach 200,000 miles.

Hard to Replace
This is my second new MB but not my last. In ten years, I replaced normal wear items consistent with the mileage but not much else. Service at the dealer is somewhat expensive and I had one bad experience of being overcharged, which I complained about to the next few service advisers. They agreed and made things right. Oddly, in the last couple of years, the cost of replacing typical wearable items has gone down - generally less than estimated. The car gets 22 mpg running around and about 28 mph on the highway (at about 60 mph). The car still looks great, rides well and is totally reliable, which makes it difficult to drop $50k to replace it with a new model.
