1) 2006 E320 CDI Black – I am the second owner. Purchase date: 6/10/2014.
2) 280,822 Miles as of today. (It had 279,365 miles and new tires on it when I bought it).
3) Everything works. I bought it knowing there is this one issue. It has a little engine vibration at idle speed. What is going on is the engine shudders a bit when it is shut down. Also a noticeable vibration is felt when engine idles below 800 rpm. Not a big issue. Just time to change the 2 motor mounts and the rear engine transmission mount. About $260 for the three parts and $180 for labor at an indy shop to fix it. Will be fixing it this weekend and it will feel like new after that. Other than that, car has been well taken care of and in excellent shape, inside and out. Engine spins silky smooth and feels like it has just been broken in. Original owner’s purchase date is 8/26/2005 in Augusta, GA. It has a clean Carfax and has 36 service records. It has been maintained by the local MB dealer throughout and has had oil/filter changes done close to the recommended 13,000 mile intervals. I will be obtaining all the 36 service details from the dealer soon to get the full history.
