2003 Mercedes Benz E320 Review and Test Drive by Bill Auto Europa Naples

[@kairi]

this has been my dream car for the longest time, and a week ago i bought an 04 e280 with a 3.2 cdi, have a lot of work to do but never been happier

[@cloudlight9784]

Give us an update, did you get it in shape?

[@kairi]

@@cloudlight9784 yesss she's great, can always find something wrong with her (it is a 20 year old car) but all in all everyday driving is a joy and shes not let me down so far

I have a newer E350 but I worked hard for it..

[@ysk4443]

M&N Distribution congrats bro, proud of you that you “worked hard” for it, just don’t rub it in people’s faces.

[@kr63]

Bought an 05 E320 in 2016 for 5k. Kept it until 2018. Spent about 4K on repairs over the two years. But it was absolutely worth it! Nothing rides like a 211 on the highway. Also, owning an older car will teach you a thing or two about cars.

[@musheer5711]

I'm sorry for your luck. Used Mercedes is reliable if it was being well maintained.

[@elnumerico8444]

Hi KR 92, My brother has a 2003 Mercedes-Benz E320 like the one Bill reviewed. Yes, it's almost 17 years old. My brother's car has over 300,000 miles on his, and his E-class is reliable no rattles no squeaks. However, he takes excellent care of his vehicles, and he will be giving the E320 to his teenage son as his first vehicle. My nephew is lucky, and I am curious to see how long the 2003 E320 will last him if he takes care of it like my brother?

[@mercedesbenz9635]

El Numerico won’t last another 30-50k miles but an easy engine swap will do really nice cars I have a e350 and e55 AmG and let me tell you I drive both e350 2013 and my e55 is 07 love the shit out of Mercedes

[@NokiaHumanForm]

Good currency speaks. I’m from malaysia, got an E240 for 25k ringgit, spent another 30k repairing it 😂😂

My personal car is the '04 E320 and it is identical in every way to this one. I'm the second owner/care taker and it only sees nice days. Super reliable and plenty of pick up and go on the highway. Had the SBC service done at the dealership and a new battery...that's it. Quality built vehicle and very classy. Great video!

hello i'm thinking about buying this car. what are the common problems to consider and which are the most chronic malfunctions? is the gearbox good?

[@xypheousjones1863]

Just bought one today as my first car

[@2sweet2handle28]

how do you find it?

[@jacobtaylor3212]

Was it worth it? What did you pay? What’s the mileage on yours?? I’m looking at one rn I’m also 21 and just now got my license

[@NokiaHumanForm]

@@jacobtaylor3212 for me I would advise you to shun away from one of these if legroom is your priority. I came from a W210 and really the W211 screams tightness. You may also have to spend a bit of money to upgrade your stereo system because obviously a car from this age doesn't have Bluetooth, hence I have CDs mounted into my CD changer which failed when I fully occupied all 6 slots. But as long as fast speeds is illegal, the W211 does 140km/h (I'm from Asia hence I use km/h) without any drama. No noise, no signs of instability, just getting you to your destination with the calmest of all attitudes out there. The climate control's pretty cooling too, and the stereo is still going strong for a 17 year old car. Ye mine is a '03 example.

[@NokiaHumanForm]

@@jacobtaylor3212 but the 5GTRONIC gearbox shifts really slowly in Winter/Comfort mode, and Summer/Sports mode makes my E240 2.6 feel a bit too responsive on throttle. I don't understand why there isn't something like normal mode. In w/c mode it hangs at an rpm for a long time before upshifting. Even my previous 4th gen Maxima had a better transmission.

So what's the final take on reliability on these things? I am looking at the range of 05-09 models. I really like the old corporate styling, especially black with chrome parts. Around here (Australia) these ones used are in the 10,000 - 20,000 AUD range

[@petergrundy8081]

As reliable as a Camry just needs love. Take care of these cars and they’ll take care of you

[@jan22150]

You lifted up that cover in side the trunk and you said there was no repair tire. Did you know there is a spare under the panel that you lifted.

[@wernerdanler2742]

If you go back and have another listen, he did say they show people the spare is under that inner cover.

[@Peppermint1]

Reliable cheap transportation once you get the transmission, SBC, cooling fan, heater valve, air shocks, ball joints fixed

[@mudza92]

2007-2009 have none of those problems. They refurbished it to perfection you can often see them selling in eu with 600-700 thousand kilometers with an engine still in good shape. Taxy drivers often cross a million km mark which very few models can achieve. Just regular maintenance and good care, this car can last for decades, I plan to give this one to my son when he turns 18 in 4 years and hes gonna probably drive it for 5 years if not more. I got e280 2008 year 7tronic btw. Probably tge best purchase of my life. Early years were problematic I agree on that, a lot of faulty shit on them

[@rustyjeep2469]

no kidding, I bought my '02 Jeep in 2015 with 76k miles on it from an old retired couple, the thing was in excellent shape, I have 118k on it now and have mostly just done regular maintenance.

[@kingjay239]

One of the best parts about living in a retirement city/town is being able to find older cars that have been maintained so well by their owners that are older. If you look good enough you can find some cream puffs for a lower than normal price.

[@sethsteener]

There’s one of these near me in this nice blue color and it’s incredibly tempting… I prefer the M272 V6 over the M112, as I’d like some more power, but I know the M112 is more reliable. Would be a wonderful car (with low miles) for good transport.

[@studded8054]

Did you get it?

[@sethsteener]

@@studded8054 Nope. That car was a bit old for how much it was. I looked at an 06 E350 wagon which I loved, other than the fact that it had crappy repairs and smelled bad.

I bought an 01 e320 sport last year. I have no owners manual and have not found one. They have changed the center panel quite a bit. I cannot even find the switch for the rear sun shade. The shade may be broken as far as I know but there is no separate switch anywhere on the panel. I have had to spend over 3k on the car already and it still needs motor mounts and maybe sway bar links. Not a good buy. I do still like it. Solid car.

[@newtonraymond77]

Next time you need to buy a car Walk with a pre purchase inspection list. Do some research and know what you need first. Know what the deal breakers are and learn to walk away from a bad deal. Know the value, if you do these things you will be happy with your next car
