hi i am in the process of looking for a used 2005 e320.

i was wondering if anyone could tell me if the 2005s experience the same amount of problems that the 2002/2003s do? the car i am specifically looking at is a certified preowned as well. any opinions or advice would be greatly appreciated. thanks!

lol is it really that bad? im debating between that and an '05 lexus es

 

Pick up a low mile ,well inspected 01 e320 You will save 10g or more.Get a nicer car with fewer problems and far nicer than a lexus.Don't jump till you explore the options and inspect,inspect,inspect.....

would an '06 be better? i know they got facelifted then .... i'm willing to spend a little extra if it means less headache down the road

thanks for the replies so far!

 

Pre 03 or an 08,they are making great strides to get back on top.06 you are going to pay a premium and probably worth it if you have your mind set on the newer models.Less brake problems etc. You really need to weigh the fact that the new ones are very expensive to maintain and drop in value by a ton each year.If you finance you will always be upside down on any mercedes deal from the dealer.So if you have the money and do not mind, go for it.

I dont if this will help but I have an 2002 E320 Sport. I have had no problems with it at all and I have owned it since 03 I bought it a year old with about 19k on it. Great car the w210. Just do what ohlord said get it inspected to make sure it is a good one. You can pick up a real low miledlged example or you can get the E55 AMG or E430of that year for a little bit more.
