"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?

[@Atl_celebrity]

I see you took my advice on making a video about your other car...this video is gonna do numbers fam...btw car looks great

[@3DThaRapstar]

+B G thanks man. Yeah I was always considering it when you said it. Just finally had the time to make it. At first the squeak from the ball joints was so bad it was undriveable. I wanted to make a video before I fixed it but yeah I love this car also

[@shaikhfahad870]

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

[@3DThaRapstar]

Just my experience only. I state that in another video on same car. Why I have to shut up tho lol

[@jackdavis2197]

Ya honestly this is a great car. But the fuel pump issue is very annoying I had the same issue and my it left me stranded twice cause the 2 fuel pumps broke at separate times. But I love my car and I’m never sellin my e320

[@wisdomandlove1661]

@@3DThaRapstar Thanks for making this video. you have saved many people from an experience pain and trouble.

[@adriannyasia]

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

[@maximilliangenius5572]

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 octane...$MH..... 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!!!

[@3DThaRapstar]

+Maximillian Genius oh yeah I only go to chevron and 76 and put a minimum of 91 in the tank. And only get synthetic oil and get my service done on time. But yes people always say how Mercedes are unreliable but those are the ones that either cant keep up with it or put the cheap stuff in it.

[@edgar7290]

Right i get 91 as well and us synthetic oil as well do maintenance myself and on time people also dont like getting new rotors when its necessary and end up replacing the pads alone

No kidding. Have you seen the photos of all of the high priced cars in Dubai they leave for dead? It's a shame. There are a ton of supercars, expensive Benz's, Porsche, Ferraris, Bugatti, Lambos, etc. They buy them, they can't pay their bills, so they leave the country and they leave the cars on the side of the road and in parking lots wasting away to the point where they are useless (due to sandstorms), etc. Here's a video, it's disgusting. kzbin.info/www/bejne/epm7dHesbrJgbtE

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.

[@dianawhite4756]

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.

[@DC-dc6ey]

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 items.....that 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!

[@srevolt1187]

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.

[@Randy-qq8lr]

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.

[@Oneness100]

It also might depend on the year. A friend of mine that has worked for Mercedes Benz as a Service Manager for 25 years and then owned his own repair shop specializing in Mercedes. He told me that Mercedes changes their body style about every 7 years or so, they do facelifts in between, but when they do a major body style change, they need at least 1 to 3 years or so to clear up the major problems. So, be careful as to which year of car and whether it's a new body style or one that's been out for a while. So make sure you do some research on the YEAR of the car and which engine, transmission and suspension system.

[@volvo1354]

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

[@haidziryusof6535]

I like your way explaining the car. You are honest straight to the point. I like this car and intend to buy and may be for the one that manufactured in 2006. I heard that the early production cars have problems with the electronics. Anyway thank you for the vedio. It's helpful.

It would also help to get the i carsoft ob2 scanner for Benz and it will tell you the error codes that you would need to fix. It looks like you need a speed sense to fix that brake issue. The engine mounts are 40 dollars for a pair and mad easy to install. A newer radio or aftermarket one would work a lot better.

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!

[@512gummybear]

I am a new owner of a 2007 E320 bluetec Mercedes Benz and my husband bought it for $4700 and it was only missing the trunk cover. The man who had this car took great care of it. No dents and hard to believe no scratches BUT when we got the car they told us it had been sitting there for a while. We did notice the ENGINE light on. We were told it was because it had been sitting there for a while. Long story short. They said if it dont go away come back and we can get it checked. Come to find out it was the glow plugs two were out. We took it to them this was a well known dealership and the were replacing all the glow plugs one broke inside and they had to order the tool. They sent it to Mercedes Benz to have it fix and something went wrong and the car had back firing and told me they could not fix it. That it was gonna have to be scraped! The car drove excellent when I got it. When I went to see my car it would not drive no more than 5 miles per hour. I was in love with this car they said they would give me my money back. I told them if they gonna scrap it how much for. They sold it back to me for $1400. Oh they messed up the engine as well. I got this guy from a small shop that is in our country side. Repaired my car new engine the works for $ 7 grand. So worth it. Runs amazing just like new. No problems. I love my Benz.

[@stevenmelsom705]

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.

[@williamscheer1481]

It may not have an engine oil dipstick but it’s supposed to. I have an ‘03 E320 as well and my dip stick is there, near the center of the front part of engine. If I remember it’s “safety” yellow so you can’t miss it.

Look, these cars are for people who love luxurious rides and keep their car meticulously maintained. Power steering so light you can steer the wood steering wheel with one finger. Encased in Nappa leather and fitted with heated and cooled ventialted power seats. Distronic cruise control. Adjustable dampening shocks. Adjustable air suspension. Harmon-Kardon stereo system. You look up and see the silver arrow on the hood as you cruise in style down the block. Everyone knows you're the shit. More technology in these 20 years old cars than most modern ones today. M112 3.2L engine is one of the most reliable engines that came from the Daimler-Chrysler Era. Straight timing system, the RWD optioned cars lack the early 4-MATIC systems which make it cheaper and easier to repair. I work on these every day, the only real issues come when you don't maintain the car. Replace the battery, fix your oil leaks because they cause further issues if left unchecked, be proactive and replace your air suspension before it blows out and you really can run this car quite cheaply. These are luxury cars. And 2 decade old ones at this point. Be realistic and take care of your car and you'll never want anything besides another Mercedes after owning one of these.

[@fredrikholmstrom3034]

[@vintagehaynesflute]

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

Actually the 07 08 update of this series the E350 had a major issue with the propshaft $3500 fix engine has to come out.

[@closer71]

The one to get is the E320 diesel

[@sylvestersingh9988]

You can clear the head lights for 20 dollars

[@CoreyAWhite]

I Love my E320. Runs great. I got a great mechanic Benz Certified. I bought mine for 500.00

[@johnalkh6185]

$500 yea right

[@kashjunkey]

I got one for $500 to lol I just have to fix it up

[@ericp.7550]

I just bought mines 3 weeks ago, and paid 995.00 for it! Great car!

[@corrydonaldson5227]

Put gas in the car first, your on e buddy. And its easy to restore those head lights, and cheap!

[@John-yh7th]

No it's not stop capping fam, headlights are hard to restore besides buying them new again stfu

[@elrincondebati4920]

what about SBC problem?

[@3DThaRapstar]

+El rincón de Bati we have not had a problem with it but I heard they go out a lot as well

[@user-mr9uy9gj5l]

I have not had a single problem with mine and I understand that the backup works fine. Mercedes Benz has extended the warranty out to 25 years, however. So, if you haver an '03 for example, the SBC is warrantied until 2028.

[@misterkay3554]

e320 with m104 on pre-facelift version w210 is the most reliable e class ever. any models after i mentioned above are no longer reliable.

[@michaelmaubry1954]

Frivolous complaints

[@memeco50]

One simple question. I DIY as much as possible and hire mobile mechanics. I want to buy an old one for fun. I don't care for radio or ac. Maybe drive it a couple of years and junk it. It would be a 98 or so for a couple of thousands

[@3DThaRapstar]

Then yessir you should get it, especially if you diy

[@memeco50]

@@3DThaRapstar Ok I got it. A couple of weeks now, very nice and everything. I had to replace the secondary air pump after market. Compared to all the old cars I've driven, this is one of the best kept in shape.

[@theonlysaltspring]

300000 miles? great car!

[@Yesterday23071]

How I ve said it , you re joke mate , light la you can just polish them . Is less then 10£ on eBay a kit for them . I ve got 3 different mercs and I care about all my self . Better then cry put your hand on tools and fixed them . I m a big a idiot looking at your video . All the best and good luck with your work .

[@jaywalkur]

Way too many ads dude. Saw 3 ads already and I'm only halfway through the video.

[@3DThaRapstar]

KZbin placed them for me. And I thought it wasnt a lot. When you watch big youtubers their is literally a ad every 2 mins. Thanks for watching

[@Randy-qq8lr]

FCP EURO for parts. OEM spec and any order over 50.00 free shipping. EVERYTHING they sell comes with Lifetime warranty. Even rotors. Customer service exceptional.

[@jacobwhite6935]

Need to go to Mercedes certified mechanic. They will get you on all that home boy.

[@shawncollins5259]

OMG. I disagree. (repectfully) I have a 2001 e320 wagon. Dropped, blacked out, 19s and rubberbands. Its a total head turner (very classy, not trashy) and its given me 0 problems. Crank timing monitor and altenator only. It handles like a slot car and does 140 no problem. If I ever get a badass car like Porsche etc, I want to turbo the 320 and track it. Check out the Euro drifting champ with the TD wagon. Cheers

[@3DThaRapstar]

Yessir. Agree to disagree, this is from my experience only. This car has left me stranded before because of the constant faulty fuel pumps and the radio is not good quality. But yes it's a great car I never said it was bad. I was just stating out reasons to not buy it, the e class are a staple and are great cars overall

[@shawncollins5259]

@@3DThaRapstar Yes. I got that from your video. I guess every car has its own personality. Ive been lucky with mine. I got it for next to nothin and put maybe 5k in it to customize.and it was in perfect shape. Cheers man!

[@Mandan...77t]

This is why I buy a car that I can afford easily so I can keep it on optimum condition Mine is Camry

[@3DThaRapstar]

Yessir, love the Camry have one myself that thing has been super reliable

[@joebutlersnr7017]

My E320 doesn't have headlight hazing, nor does it have brake sensor problems , or electrical gremlins motor mounts or any of that, why? Well my E320 is a C124 , last of the over engineered Mercedes Benz, go old school and bin this shit.

[@svetoslavmikyurlov3105]

Yeah those are legit minore issues that are expected to happen with time ball joints wear out radio is old so it brakes warning lights are normal to pop up when the car is at this age its all wear and tear that you are complaning about
