I have the opportunity to buy a 1997 E320. Black with Black interior, all options, in showroom condition with 108,000 miles. New tires, New timing chain, and no rust for 10,000.
Is this a good deal?
Would be my first MB!

Seems about right for retail/dealer price. Here in Houston, TX, they are advertised for less than 10K if E320, and less than 14K usually for E420.
For 10K, you robably can go for 98 that has the smartkey.

if its that cheap, there is probly something wrong with it! you do not want to mess with a mercedes that has been ragged out. as long as it was properly mantained it would be a good car, if not i wouldn't take it if you gave it to me. the 97 motor is a much better motor, in 98 they switched to a more "cost friendly" V6

The car is owned by a family freind. The timing chain was a replaced because the dealership said it was time to be replaced. All factory recomendations were followed said the owner.

poster? you are only mad because you have the V6. lol
i drove a '97 E320 for 50k miles and never had blew a head gasket. and believe me i drove it hard. true it does fit in the engine compartment better, that is why they later changed the front end in 2000. a strait 6 will out last a V6, end of story. the only reason mercedes switched to a V6 is because alot of the parts where interchangable with the V8 model.
