Model: E300
Country: USA

Comments: I love this car. It cruises great and I get about 30mpg. Maintenance costs a lot, but I'm now doing most of it on my own. Just replaced the glow plugs which was the biggest pain in the neck ever.

Year: 1996
Model: E320
Mileage: 185k
Comments: I have enjoyed this car since 98. Costs a bit more to maintain than most cars but it has been worth it to me. Hard to let it go when nothing is really wrong. My goal is to drive it to 300,000 miles.

2001 E320 RWD - Brilliant Silver/Ash: 100,000+
Year: 1998
Model: E430
Country: USA
Mileage: 125k
Comments: I am the 3rd owner, having bought the car in 2005 w/118k. From the service history I know that it had a harmonic balancer repaired/replaced, various bulbs, rear brakes, and one of the power windows repaired.
Since I have had it, I have had the sunroof repaired (expensive job, but I don't know what they did exactly), center console cup holder fixed (door was sticking), radio replaced (volume control was faulty). All of these were wrong with the car when I bought it. The only thing done since was to replace one oxygen sensor, and I had a B service done at 120k

E500
Year: 1996
Model: E300
Country: US
Mileage: 201,000
Comments: Bulletproof diesel-I have a 160 mile roundtrip commute everyday so the miles have added up quickly. Original motor and tranny.
I had a minor fuel leak ($2 hose replacement). Aside from that, routine oil changes every 3k miles-that's about it
2nd w210:
Year: 1999
Model: E320
Country: US
Mileage: 116,000
Comments: Some minor issues-MAF, window regulator, usual bulbs burning out, etc. Harmonic balancer was replaced by my mechanic before the recall/notice, but it was reinspected recently by MB and found to be fine. Between the two cars, I prefer the diesel any day of the week
