I'm considering purchasing a '95 E320 with 156,000 Miles. This might seem like a boring car compared to the others I've seen here, but it is my favorite. It is all original as far as I can tell. It's in pretty good shape inside and out for the age but I'm wondering how much longer this car might last with proper maintenance. How many miles can it take before it costs a fortune to keep it alive? Also, what might be a good price? They are asking $7k.

Thanks!

 

there are many E420's in the SF area that are going for that price...so i'd guess that the 6 cylinder should be $1k to $1500 less?

 

I realize that the location may play a part in the asking price, but I paid about that for my '95 E420 with 141k on the clock, and with a nice set of wheels (plus take-offs) and all the bells and whistles (that still work great). I agree that you should probably not be paying more than $6K for that car. Just my .01999 worth.

 

Keep in mind the following expences, unles it was done by the previous owner:
1. Engine Wiring Harness $950 DIY, or $1500 at a shop.
2. Head Gasket $200 very complicated DIY or $1500 at a shop.

Plus some more common problems.
