Hey Scotty, I just got my uncle's 1998 Mercedes e320 wagon, nice V6 engine only about 75k miles on it.
It's well maintained, nothing wrong with it, but I was wondering your thoughts on these older Mercedes in general.
From what I can tell it's pretty well made and these older ones were still made in Germany I believe.
Can't say the same about BMW's...... use to have a 96 328I and took care of a lot but still ended up being a pain in the rear.
Don't think it'll be the same with this Mercedes but I was curious about your thoughts to try to make this baby last as long as possible!
Thanks!
yes definitely not as bad as BMWs but they are very expensive parts only that's relatively low mileage so it should still go a while just when annoying electronic things start to break if you can live without them like a passenger power window don't fix it and live without them
As you mentioned, they are definitely better than BMWs. The older Mercedes (not the luxury models though), are well built cars and can last a really lking time if taken care of.
You can get a glimpse below of some things that can eventually fail:
