Need feedback on E320 VMI - potential purchase!
Hi folks,
While I can't quite decide whether I should pay more to get a 2002 S430 or a 2002 E320, I found a local 02 E320 with 55k miles in excellent condition, 1 owner, starmark until 1/07. I'm leaning towards the E320 b/c I love the E class styling with 18" AMG rims, and I'm guessing MY02 Eclass will be relatively more reliable and cheaper to maintain. Starmark for a few months is also nice. But the car does not have xenons or parking sensors..
Could you look at the VMI and tell me if there are any "red flags"? Carfax is clean.
VMI=
Line, capacitor/fluid reservoir 53,550 miles
Brake light switch, electrical 44,292 miles
drink holder 44050
FSS 44050
pipe condenser/pipe assemblyL 40,008
instrument cluster electrical 39,680
catalytic converter, underfloo 36,011
FSS 33863
Bulb, general electrical 33,863
door lining/covering 33,863
catalytic converter, underfloo 24,849
fan vent, instrument panel, ce 24,849
K/Z* door control unit, rear d 24,849
FSS 23,638
Control head rack and pinion e 23,026
backrest frame noise 23,026
sunroof distorted/wavy/swolle 12,700
FSS 12,694
thanks for help!
