Need help -Decision to buy 320
 

I am in the market for another automobile. My background: I have driven a Volvo for 20 years, most recently a 1995 850 GLT that has almost 300k miles. In other words, if I have a decent, good car I will drive it until it dies. The 850 is about there now. I looked at the new Volvos but frankly they are not as good of cars as my 1995! So I began looking at Mercedes. I liked the ride and feel of the car which was comparable/superior to the 1995 Volvo when it was new. I am not an upgrading car person, but do maintain and do most services thru an indie.Mostly, I want a good running, good driving, low maintenance, just get in the car and drive type car..........I hope to drive my next car for 300k as well.

I began lookingand was pretty much settled on the c230 sport. It was in my price range and offered me what Iwas looking for...recently I ran up on a 2003 E320, immaculate, very low miles, loaded, not even road dings, no paint work -basically a new car for $29000. I'd hoped to stay in the lower 20s price wise.

So what are the pros/cons of this car and year model? Price decent??

I appreciate any advice!
