Cheap $2200 2003 Mercedes-Benz E500 W211 Long-Term Ownership Update

[@ChrisPatrick-q6k]

The best petrol engine Mercedes have ever made.

I love reading that about the car I just got

[@JamesTheRealSpeaker3.0_]

I have the same, 2003 E500. I love it. Have a full exhaust system done, and it sounds like a beautiful old-school V8. My air compressor is just starting to go, so I'll get the coil coversion next year. Yours looks fantastic

[@automotiveapprentice]

I appreciate that. Mine is pretty loud. I just picked up an 02 CL500 as a project car. Posted the first video on that one.

[@JamesTheRealSpeaker3.0_]

@automotiveapprentice Nice! I have a w212 2010 E500. I was looking at a 2008 CLS 500, but it's basically the same car underneath as the w212, but a different chasis. Went for the m113 in the 211, which 21 years later is still healthy as anything. I'll take a look at your latest vid

Hope you get it to where you want it my man. Im looking at a 2004 e500 just doing my homework to know if its too good to be Truth. If i do pull the trigger and get the car i would prolly mod it to keep it. Strictly performance. Prolly do my best to do the labor if not a Mercedes dealership. Another thing people if you do any work keep the paperwork or receipts. Goes a long way and you can ask for more if you sell it. Basically what I got for the video is if you think you're a junkyard junkie you got another thing coming. 😂

Would you say 3500 is a good deal for one of these I’m looking at was his bottom dollar 146kmi

[@gkb757]

Bulletproof engine, just horrible on gas.... E350 not sure about the 320.

[@automotiveapprentice]

[@o.b.aoyinloye2591]

You mean business

[@Superchargedtio]

Car looks very bad you should definitely sell it

[@automotiveapprentice]

I’ll get right on that 😂

[@bravobear1844]

Lol

[@goguryeorising4247]

Hello, was it difficult to replace the air suspension with coil overs suspension like BC racing or was it standard replacement with no hassles? Thanks.

[@KeepItC1assic]

The car looks great man! It’s funny that we have so many of the same problems lol mine has the coil over conversion as well! It rides phenomenally. I’m getting the conductor plate on the trans replaced on Tuesday then hopefully she’ll be mint for years to come!

[@automotiveapprentice]

I’m yet to have a transmission issue, I’m sure it’s coming.

[@KeepItC1assic]

@@automotiveapprentice I’m excited to get her all fixed. It’s been years since I had a car that I actually enjoy driving

[@KeepItC1assic]

@@automotiveapprentice I hope not brother
