My 3rd Benz. 1990E class loved it.2000 S500,had trouble with it. Now this Eclass.So far great. I tend to go back and forth between Benz, BMW,and Lexus. I wanted good mileage, but more fun luxury and performance than a Prius, which I drove as well. I am dissapointed with the direction of the Lexus hybrids(poor mileage). It came down to the Lexus GS450h vs Benz E320 bluetec. Benz won this time around.

Had a turbo replacement for the 05 CDI with no engine damage at 149,000 miles - no problem. Just was informed by the Greenwich Penske/MB dealer that the 2007 Bluetec had a blown turbo which destroyed the engine. Cost to repair $13,000.00 - market value around $8,000.00. The turbo parts enter the engine itself and destroy it. A known design problem which has happened to thousands of Bluetec's. MB Corporate says: "Tough, car is out of warranty - we decline any responsibility. We can refer you to a good junk dealer. Update: 6/30/2018 Had to junk the 2007 Bluetec. I am left with a 2008 Bluetec and the above mentioned 2005 CDI. I am now changing oil every 5,000 miles. When parking either car I let the engine idle for some time to cool the oil in the turbo before removing the key. I originally bought the three Diesels on the recommendation of Consumer Reports in 2007. During the last five to eight years CR does not even mention that there are MB Diesels. All in all a most unsatisfying experience at the Greenwich, Ct Penske dealership and MB Corporate. Never again an MB. Edmunds requested an update to the above saga. Based on my previous report I finally managed to sell all three Bluetecs. At age 92 I am (or) was a lifelong MB driver. Never again !!!

I just picked up a CPO 2007 E320 Bluetec. This is my 3rd Mercedes-Benz diesel ('74 240D 4 speed - 440K miles on it when the engine died due to loss of oil, and an '84 300D turbodiesel - sold at 337K miles and it's still running strong, from what I hear. This one is by far the best of them - I cannot imagine a car needing anything more than this car offers - quiet, fast, excellent fuel economy, beautiful build quality - it's all there. Only concern I had was repair cost, so I extneded the CPO warranty by two more years, to get me through 2013 - it was certainly cheap insurance, considering the labor rates and parts costs if something does go wrong out of warranty.

Repair costs are high. the turbocharger went out before 75K and at a cost of 5,000 to replace. At the time there were no rebuild kits available. Had to replace the oil cooler from leaking, the manifolds seem to clog early. The after market warranty policies are not worth the paper, but that is another story.

The 320 diesel provides everything one could want except some of the high end options. Performance and reliability are great.
