'DO NOT BUY A E320 MERCEDES-BENZ'?

Instagram @itsthebenzman
Have you ever seen the prices and considered buying a Mercedes-Benz e320? As great and as beautiful as these cars are they have flaws. Would I ever buy this car again,,,, Yes. As I love Mercedes-benz. No other cars like them. In this video I talk about why I dont want my e320 Mercedes-Benz. these cars as daily drivers can be filled with problems if proper care is not taken care of.These cars are not worth the headache for the everyday daily driver if you don't have the money to repair. In this video I explain why!
At the same time the E class are great cars in general, So look out for these problems?

People who buy Mercedes.... then complain skip out on routine maintenance. I know a guy with a S class bought it used... to cheap to use mobil 1. He uses penzoil and 87 These types are the ones that always have an issue with Mercedes.... My thing is DONT BUY A BENZ IF YOU CANT AFFORD TO TREAT IT LIKE ONE!!!

Every issue you just mentioned are non-issues. Ball joints are easily replaced. Headlights are easily repaired with a lil’ elbow grease and polish. Hit them with some clear, and your good for years. Radio can be easily replaced and or reset to factory spec. Other than that, it’s regular maintenance like any other car. Change the oil regularly (twice a yr. for me) and buy yourself a good scanner that covers everything and replace your voltage regulator regularly (I change out mine every 30k-easy to replace) 🤷🏼‍♂️ IMHO, MB has been the least expensive cars I’ve ever owned

Dude shut up I had this car since 2004 and the car was amazing it lasted 14 years and it was the best car

I have a black E350 & CL550 too. I absolutely love both of my Mercedes Benz.

I bought an E320 at an auction and was referred to a good mechanic for breaks, tires, rims and tune up. The car is roomy and is very comfortable.. It has great bose speakers Because I drive the expressway each day, I prefer to drive it more than my other car. I am now looking for a shop to repair the dings and rust. I plan to keep the car and may consider will definitely buy this same car again.

E320 is the best car, 2 spark plug per cylinder kick some asses on the highway, goes 100 plus mph easily...best stereo systems

I must be confused. The car is 13 years old, no? The only problem is the radio and fuel level sender? The rest of the complaints are standard maintenance car is in beautiful condition for the age! The 350 engine is truly problematic. My intake manifold on my ‘09 (one of two) failed and was $3000 to replace! Intake manifolds are not service items!

Man, I think you just got a lemon!!!! I recently bought the e320 wagon. 1999. It has some problems, but you gotta nip it in the butt, find a good mechanic, other than a dealer, and keep a daily eye on everything.

[charliedelarosa]

mate I have got an e320 and same with all models you just turn the key for a split second don't hold the key when starting it!!

[ronjeffrey]

E320 are very nice cars especially if you service them and keep up with them

I bought my 99 E320 from original owner and it was serviced by MB. That seems to make a huge difference in the reliability of these automobiles. With 197, 000 on the clock I drive it anywhere. Sure I've had a few issues, but being a automotive
Tech is a great advantage on service. Mostly the labor cost for the maintenance and repairs. I LOVE MY E320, intend to keep it till I or it dies!

[srevolt]

Btw, u Started your engine wrong, u only need to flick it, to turn on the engine, not hold it, if u hold it, it may damage the car even more.

[roba.]

The car has over 100k on it. These are all age and service issues. The car looks good to be a 2007 or 8ish?

One of the most overlooked things on Mercedes is 1. Don’t buy first year production of a model. Let the bugs get worked out. 2. Buy one that was actually MADE in Germany. Yes you may have to sacrifice the newest model but the headache you may save yourself could be worth it. I’ve had 3 MB’s all Germany made. Loved every single one. Hardly any issues. Most serious was a fuel pump that died but that’s wear and tear, gonna happen eventually. Remember Fluids, Fluids, Fluids on MB. Keep that stuff fresh and you’ll love your car.

Ok, reality check. You bought a USED car. Ball joints, strut bushings, motor mounts are wear items. Not a manufacturer problem. I have an ‘08 E320 Bluetec that has 127, 000 miles and was taken care of by the previous owner. Buy the best example you can get and have it inspected by a Mercedes specialist. As far as the comand unit goes check the audio gateway. It was an issue in earlier cars. In the future, remember that Mercedes does what is known as a facelift about two thirds of the way through a model run. Facelifts are usually improvements over the earlier models. If you decide to get an E350 make sure you research the balance shaft issue. It’s usually ruinously expensive. If you need any info let me know. I used to be an MBCA section President

The headlights don't need to be replaced. Go to Auto Zone or PepBoys and get a kit to compound them. A very fine abrasive and an orbital polisher will bring them back to new for less than $40.

headlight covers, $700 and up, (each)..call a body shop, they can probably wet sand a good amount of that glaze off. mite not look perfect, but it will look much better. also, when those scary dashboard warnings come on, unhook the battery for half an hour, may get u a reset. i had to do that for traction control, and the problem went away, for some reason

I have a 2003 e320. I've had it 2 weeks. I love it. Runs and drives great compared to my 96 dodge ram pick up. No issues yet. I don't like that there is no engine oil dip stick. Just saying.

[supavisah]

Mine is a 2003 E320 and I love it! Regular maintenance, interior detail once a year and no major problems. I need a new radio, but that's it. . . Wish I could post a pic on here. . .
