W220 S500
Looking to buy an 04 E500, need the list of things to look for....

Hey guys I am selling my 02 S500 and my local dealer has an 04 E500 non-NAV I really like with 58k mi. $17500. grey/black. I like the W211 and sold my W210 in 2006, hence the interest in the 211. I'm wondering what I should look out for on the W211, and what the most desirable options are. Is there a sticky I can read here or a good thread? I'll use search but all input appreciated!

Thanks!

Try the search function for 2004 issues

03 and 04s have issues - bad radiator causing transmission damage, SBC brake issues, ball joints, other stuff.

Go 2005 or newer

Where are you located? I have an 05 E500 with 68k but it has Nav. I was going to ask 19.5k for it but I might take something in the 18's.....I'm in NJ 08054 zip....
