Beware, SBC brakes, a nightmare you don't need !

This car was the embodiment of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Be very, very careful before you purchase, these cars can be a dream or a nightmare. The SBC braking system looks good on paper, feels good when it's working, but when it breaks you better balance your checkbook !

2004 E320 SPORT

I left a review here in March of 2008 when I first bought my Mercedes-Benz. All I have to say is after two years and 28,000 miles I have NOT been left on the side of the road, not even close. All I do is follow the maintenance schedule (the car's computer tells U exactly when to take her in for her maintenance) and put high octane petrol - that's it. By the way, I would take it only to a dealer with CERTIFIED technicians. Also, have a low deductible on your auto insurance. I had a "fender-bender" which cost $11,000 to repair. I know, it's crazy, right? You gotta love MB.

having spent over $60,000 I expected more.....car came in with incorrect color. The car's performance is great - and fun to drive. BUT, the reliability is not worth it! It's been back to the dealer countless time for electrical problems (phone/audio/locks). Wanted navigation at time of purchase - was not available. Dealer said I could add later - turned out to be a lie. Dealer is pathetic and arrogant. About to turn in for a competitor's car - unlikely to buy another MB. (this was my second). Don't waste your money on this car - better choices out there today.
