My first Mercedes: 2008 E320 Bluetec!

My first introduction to Mercedes Benz came to me in the form of a Chrysler Crossfire. Whatever you may think of that car it's running gear left a lasting impression on me, along with the fact that I walked away from an accident at 70mph. Since then the years came and went and I just never found the right Mercedes at the right time, that is until today. I still can't stop smiling. I don't know why a 10 year old sedan has me feeling so excited but, damnit, I love this thing! Without further ado:





I was hoping to find a fully loaded '09 Bluetec but nothing was coming up. This '08 is very nicely optioned and with 48,000 miles I couldn't pass up.

You got a nice one. That's a hard combo to find. You basically got P2, real leather, power trunk closer, parktronic. folding rear seat, side blinds and wooden steering wheel. It's the luxury model too, most loaded ones are typically the sports model. The only thing you're really missing is the pano roof.

Congrats, very nice car with very low miles.

My E320 is 15 years old and just turned over 91K miles. It has me smiling every day, so I know what you mean!

Nice interior color scheme.
320 Bluetec is bad-*** car, still delivering well over 30 mpg.
What else you might want?
