[@bobmaichin6781]

Great review, great car. I have owned a 97 E420 Sport for over ten years. It was my first Mercedes and a real treat with 89,000 miles out of a friends estate. A twenty year old car with the original exhaust system! That is quality. I now have 140,000 miles. The bottom of the car on a lift looks like a two year old Chevy. There was / is some minor rust on the drivers door and around the trunk lock. This was caused by the early use of water based paints. I touch up those spots every couple of years. Repairs : I first had to replace the rear window regulator - which was a simple repair. I have replaced the spark plugs several times along with annual oil changes. A couple of coil packs and post Cat O2s sensors were necessary the first months as the car smelled like it was running rich and had a lumpy idle. Since then it has been smooth and returns 23mpg on trips. Last year at 120,000 the radiator and air conditioner compressor had to be replaced. Then the front springs broke, All this was fixed by my INDY along with motor mounts for about two grand. About the same price as Toyota maintenance, a lot more satisfying. Still have this beauty as my daily driver, with my "new" 2004 SL500 for the weekends. I highly recommend the whole Mercedes Used car experience. PS - Both my cars were "Mercedes Certified Pre owned" that were sold when their warranties were expired. The owners took full advantage of their warranties and left me with few issues. Dirt Cheap for what you are getting.

[@GlobalTopGuns]

Nice ... I won a 1997 E420 in a pool game. Long story short, guy was into me for $1500 and didn't have it, so I took his car. Not a spot of rust anywhere, only a few tiny dimples and scratches here and there. Beautiful 18" chrome wheels, perfect interior, 124,500 miles on her. Had to replace the serpentine belt and a few front end parts, tie rod ends, wheel bearings, shocks, thermostat, and a set of new tires. I'm 60, and I've owned maybe 30 cars including a top of the line Oldsmobile (Toronado Trofeo) and 2 Cadillac Sedan Davilles. This is by far the finest vehicle I have ever owned. The ride, the performance and the styling are just superb. Hard to believe it's 20 years old. I wouldn't take $5 Grand for it.

[@encinobalboa]

Rear window regulator is a weakness.

[@junkmail6206]

I've got one of those, rust was an issue, but a little TLC and it's looking as new. My advise for rust check, make sure you look at these spots before buying one. Front wings (remove the wings to treat, if you can) Front wheel arch rust (Behind the wheel by the front of the engine) Rear wheel arch (you may have to remove rear bumper) Boot, by the spear wheel housing it has known rust problem coming from behind the bumper. Remove Side Skirts, front and back of chassis has rust issue, and under the car where the jack position is. Treat all those areas and the reste is easy basic maintenance. This car is a work horse, just point it in the right direction...

[@88Boxer100]

Nice to see this review. I own a 2002 E320 base model with 244,000 miles on it. I put over 200 thousand miles of those miles on it in the last 10 years. The car is the smoothest nicest riding car I have ever had. Also super reliable. Original water pump, power steering pump suspension etc. The only major parts I had to replace were the Air Conditioning compressor at about 190k and recently the transmission with a Mercedes factory rebuilt unit. That was expensive but I decided to keep the car rather then sell it.

[@dlwst44]

Was so happy to finally get this review, I have a W210 addiction. Have a '02 E320 4matic sedan, and a '99 E320 4matic wagon pre facelift version. Love them both, want a E55 amg to round out the fleet.

[@Takethiskeycard]

My father has a 1999 E200 in pristine condition. The car looks like it is 2 years old. Interior and engine both like new. 356.000km on it. I am thinking of getting it and maintain it forever. I think these older merc run forever if you service and maintain them properly.

[@Markdc94]

I'm LUCKY!! I got a E320 from a good friend of mine, it's original owner was his mother-in-law, garage kept 184,000 miles. 100% RUST FREE!!!! Serviced by MB only. I paid $1,500.00 in 2016, so I believe that was a fair deal. Even full service on tranny, including internal module and pin connector. Of all the cars I've owned in my life, so far this W210 is by far the best automobile I have ever owned!!!!!!

I bought a '99 E320 wagon 6 years ago with 98,000 miles and a full service history. I paid way over the odds for it (about 8500.00), immediately took it to my mechanic, had the conductor plate changed out. I am so glad I bought that car. Smooth, roomy, comfortable, and imposing as only a Benz can be. Absolutely zero rust! No running issues, and only the sunroof has given me any real problems. My heart lay with Citroen, but I'm keeping my W210.

@@Range420 Hey man , most important in my opinion for this cars is rust . If there is lots of rust better stay away from the car.

[@BlodSport94]

320 CDI and almost 200k km. Runs buttery smooth so far. Current (but known) issues: failure of hood-fasteners (left won't lock - right won't open). Also, if anyone bought theirs with a worn auto-gearbox, change oil every 30'000 km and refill it often. Before you go for a long travel, maintain the gearbox or make sure to not load your car too heavily. You can also just make sporadic pauses to cool down your gearbox

I've had 3 W210, a '99 220 CDI Elegance, a '02 220 CDI Avantgarde and my last one that I currently own, a 98 290TD Elegance with ONLY 58000 km. It is in an amazing shape with a manual gearbox. I've paid way too much for it (9000 euros) but I'm planning to keep it and see if the price of this car increases over time. I know it's almost impossible to find one like I have. Of course it's 100% rust free and perfectly maintained. I love w210. They are the perfect junction between the older Mercedes and the most recent ! The 5 cylinder 290 TD is absolutely amazing. It's very smooth and it only consumes on average 5.2l/100 km, giving a range of around 1350 km with a full tank. Amazing. If you have that engine, replace the three engine holders and it won't be noisy at all. I also own a '06 W211 220 CDI Elegance and it's an amazing car too. But my heart will always lean in favor of the w210...

i love W210 !! 👊🏻😎☀️

[@borishasarrived5524]

I would like to buy a W210 and make put in a LPG installation, which engine do you recommend? Also, automatic transmissions are reliable on this car? Please help me with an answer guys.

[@erensuicmez8007]

I have the w210 2.4 V6 with LPG. No problems at all. And gearbox is very strong!

[@ZeroForce96]

I have recently bought a 96 E280 with the inline 6 on lpg. Needs some maintenance but the engine runs really great.

I had a rattling in my sunroof. i got new motor mounts as fixed all the vibrations

[@averagedev7768]

Looking to get a E280 4MATIC V6 M112 and do a complete respray (wanted to go with maybach blue from that era). Turns out i found one that was resprayed before by a trusted person in a paintshop. They are dirt cheap bc my country has insane tax when the car is over 2L of displacement

[@richardwilson57]

true from start to finish!

Most w210s in my country rarely have rust issues

[@dodgeguyz]

My son has a 98 E430 that is rust free for the most part. 1 small rust spot the size of a dime on the lower front fender. It’s been in the salt belt it’s entire life, so o don’t know how it managed that. 165k mi. Even though it’s a Benz it’s still a nice car!

3.2 diesel in this generation its not v6 engine...and the best engine choice is om606 in them cars i would recommend it over later common rail engines as om606 got unlimited tuning potential...just my few words haha

Personally I'love both Benz's Very please with both cars.I'll noticed some post are bashing the Bz .However being an owner for thirty years of my first BZ .I'll would not own any other car .

sooo we had a e220 cdi estate from 2002 and it was one of the best cars we ever had until now. we had it 7 years now and it never had any problems just some regular things but a while ago we lost very much diesel and we wondered what it could be so we opened the hood and took of the plastic cover and what we saw was diesel EVERYWHERE we saw that it came out of the first injector so we changed it instantly. after we changed it it still lost diesel. but since it was our only car that time we needed to went on driving. some days after we changed the injector something went wrong with the car. it highspeed was 80 to 90 kmph and we instantly brought it to the mercedes dealer and he also didnt know what to do he deleted the problems with the computer and it still didnt have power. normally everything worked, the turbo the injectors and so on so we didnt know what to do with it and we left it in our garage until we know whats going on with the car and its still there and we bought a provisionally car, a vw golf 4 1.9 tdi estate since it it pretty cheap and reliable maybe someone of you guys know what we can do. thanks :) PS: it doesnt have ANY rust and the other condition is pretty good and its a 5- speed automatic.

I agree get a 2000-2002 e320 it's an amazing daily driver it has many more updated features and they are cheap . Service it do trans fluid service every 60k miles oil every 5-6 it will last forever.

[@terrenceong9744]

Hey, very informative video, but can I know which of the petrol engines are the most reliable?

[@no-damn-alias]

Sorry but you missed out on so many mechanical issues. Ball joints just wear out on these. Wheel bearings need regular adjustment. SPRING PORCHES will fail sooner or later. This e-class just EATS lightbulbs like nothing and the front ones are a pain to change. You forgot the transmission control module which usually has oil inside which you should get rid of. Moreover the 5 speed automatic has an issue with a bearing until the facelift model. Just to name the most expensive. Not to forget broken key fobs and vacuum leaks. On the V6 and V8 petrol engines from 1997 on, the water pump leaks regularly.

[@silverelgrandlow6298]

I found out that Malaysian versions of these don't seem to rust as badly as these. Not sure is it because that Malaysian models made CKD have different paint formulas

[@raycroal]

thats interesting how long have the 210 been made there and could it be the climate in malaysia is kind to cars

Very nice review... I have a 98 w210 e200 Avant-Garde MT 5 speed, it runs only 53 K until now ... it is in very good condition no rust at all, fully original interiror and exterior the color blue on blue fashion version i guess... it is true once i have problem with power windows regulator... but the rest the car is very reliable, comfort, and very good quality of paint... btw i live in Jakarta the capital city of Indonesia I intend to upgrade my w210 to w211 e200k, do you have any suggestiom for me? Or should i still keep my w210? I love w211 model

[@differentcarreview-dcr]

the C200k W211 is a good choice, but I would recommend to avoid the early production cars which can have more problems

[@MrKleo21]

If you can get your hands on a w211 post facelift then thats fine!(make sure you avoid the m272 v6 petrols. horrible reliability). Otherwise avoid the prefacelift w211s like the plague. w210s were much more reliable than early w211s.
