Used 2003 -2004 E 320

I did a search and couldn't find an exact answer, and I would really value everyone's advice. How reliable are the used (2003 - 2004) E-320's in everyone's opinion.
I am seriously considering picking one up with average miles (20 - 30K) and am curious as to how it would hold up in the long-run.

I look forward to getting your feedback.

Thanks

less reliable that most would like a car of that cost to be, but over all reliable if you have it comply with all of the outstanding recalls. ESPECIALLY the SBC one.

A few members here have had bad experiences with them, but most of owners seem very happy. It's always better to by a car 2 or more years after the introduction, so I would go for the 2004 or later if you can. Pay special attention to the build date as that's more telling than the model year.

You and I both. I'm looking to buy an 03 E320 in November but it has 40K miles. I will buy the extended warranty though. Don't buy without it so keep that in mind when putting your finances together for the final purchase.
