95 E320 Wagon

I need a vehicle to carry my expanding family; I think a 95 E320 wagon will meet my needs. The kids range in age from 11 to 2 mos, so size isn't a big problem.

What pros and cons have you seen?

I've found a mark that interests me and am asking if someone will please run a history on it (WDBEA92E9SF310209).


TIA,
Bill

Thumbs up

Great car, pretty much no cons.
-Check the engine for oil leaks front cover of the block and head gasket.
-does it start properly, is the idle ok?
-Does the A/C work well (big $$$$ if repair is needed)
-Check the milage, wheater it relates to the wear of the car (carpets, windscreen (scratches), plastic parts, paint finish (dull?), transmission..)
-for those cars you need to be carefull from whom you buy
-are any mods made? if so professionally or DIY?
-try to obtain a full history of pre owners of the car (and if doubts call them)
Good luck and a lot of fun with the car.

Smile Thanks

Thanks for the advice.

Someone was kind enough to tun the report, and I looked the car over thoroughly. I decided against it for some of the reasons you noted.
