This would include changing air filters, fuel filter, oil/filter change, inspecting a host of other things under the hood and chassis, lube sunroof, brake fluid change, etc. I also have an '03 E320 (56K) and I'm currently finishing up my "F" service.

Also, what do the maintenance records show? There's many TSBs for this car, recalls, and campaigns.

Do you have any access to the maintenance documentation for this car? If you bought it at a MB dealer, they could pull up the info for you of all the scheduled or unscheduled maintthat was done on the car. Good luck....

I have 60k on my '04 E320 and haven't had any major problems. If the maintenance is done and the car doesn't sit a ton (storage type sitting) which isn't the case with your '03 then you should be relatively fine but like PaulV said it could have problems you just never know.

Irrespective it is a great car and I am sure that you will enjoy it!
