Electrical Nightmare
The car has been fine except for the electrical system, which has had problems off and on for my entire ownership of it. The latest issue is the electrical failing after a car wash (no lights, turn indicator, etc.). Scary. And the dealership can never figure out what is wrong. (Also the navigation system is quite poor and antiquated.) I would honestly never ever buy another Mercedes Benz.
Sherman Tank on Springs (2001 E320 wagon)
Acquired in 2021, 20 years old, w/ 145K miles, lots of recent expensive service B4 my acquisition, springs, struts, A/C compressor, drier, receiver, alternator, battery, new key. I’m going to do rear SLS nitrogen accumulator balls w/hydraulic fluid swap, and hopefully have a solid car my 17 year old kid can use to haul his drum kit around in a lockable, enclosed, bank vault of a car! This Benz thuds over our crappy, ubiquitous SoCal freeway expansion joints, compared to my ‘83 BMW 533i!

Outstanding fun family car
Good styling, good driving, excellent fuel economy
Overall, not too bad
This was my first Benz when I bought back in 06. It did pretty well for the first year, but then the car started to have numerous problems. The wind sheild wiper stopped working, the CD player broke (and still is broken today), and some various other things seemed to not work the way they should after a while. We ended up spending about $6000 overall in the past 4 years. However, I'm not really the kind of person that treats their car like a baby or even owns a garage, I also ignore regular servicing a lot. After we got all this fixed though, the car seemed to really work well and has continued to do so so far. I'm not totally sure I'd buy another Merc but I'd definitely buy another German car
