'08 E350
2006 E350 CPO, Luxury, 47K ... within one week of purchase I've had the following:
1. Numerous check engine lights (radiator sensor)
2. Balance shaft/gears (parts ordered)
3. Shift problems (replaced the valve body)
4. Sirius cutting out (they're still working this one)
5. CD and Sat volume goes to high by itself (they're still working this one)
6. Alignment out/pulls to right (I think they've realigned it by now)
Despite these problems, the few days I was able to drive the car; it drove great.

Great thread but I would encourage everyone to post this data at True Delta. This is a great tool and would give a more accurate representation of reliability across the board for different year models and classes.

Yes, and very little repairs for all those miles...........looks like the best exception to those of us who have had multiple repair requirements under 100k miles. But the engines on these vehicles appear to be almost bullet proof.

All Diesel Fleet !1983 240d stick,2005 E320 CDI Midnight blue, 2005 E320 CDI, Desert Silver, Kubota
Problems: 05 CDI's
I have 2 05 CDI's. Mine has 116,00. Very few problems. I had a leaking tranny electrical connector and the battery control module update.
My wife's has 82,000. Right upper ball joint( humungus pot hole at high speed).
That's about it. I change the oil ( Mobil 1 ) and filter each 5000 miles and do the BG Flush of the transmissions at 35,000.
