How to tell if '03 e320 has harman kardon system?
First post. I'm in the market for an '03 e320. The one I'm looking at has 58k miles and sport package. The seller says the car also has the harman kardon system - how can I tell?
Also, is there anything I should be wary of when buying a '03 e320 (i.e. known issues, etc.)? Thanks! |
I would really recommend not getting an '03 based upon my experience. If you can swing an '04 you'll have a better chance of getting a more reliable car.
The problems with my car were mainly electronics. Those kinds of things don't get better with age - and they do get expensive in a hurry. If you can - get the VIN and have a Service Advisor give you the service records of the car. I'd rather have a nice W210 E55 than an '03 W211 personally. |

Good luck with your decision |
If I end up getting the car, I'll definitely getting an extended warranty. Shouldn't that help?

I just happen to love the E55 - and those W210s are really dropping in price. There are some really nice rather low mileage ones out there in the mid-high 20s now! I'm sure that if he can find an '03 E320 that checks out well from the dealer it'll be fine if it's had all the upgrades/recalls/TSBs done but with hindsight - I'd take the W210 AMG instead. Happy New Year, HOH! p.s. just read the post about the extended warranty - IIRC Starmark specifically *excluded* most of the electronics. Make sure that your warranty covers it. |

Thank you all for your replies. Very helpful and much appreciated.
So the issues with the 2003 w211's have been pretty much fixed with the 2004's? Apart from this, any issues with 2004's? Darn, the car looked so pretty, too... |

You too lig...:y |
I bought mine used as well and the stealer told me it had HK, but I did not see the logo on the outside of the speaker covers. However, it does have the Logic7 Surround as my Harley friend pointed out.
