Bought my Merc!!

Hey guys. I finally bought my first car after looking at lots of used Mercedes - my 2004 E320. So happy about it. My first car and hopefully will survive another few years at least. It has almost 160k on it and the previous owner was a Euro-auto specialist so he did everything himself for the last 9 years. Only 2 owners before me, no recorded accident history or anything. Has some scratches in places, one very tiny door ding and one little dent rear left which might be able to come out. It doesn’t have all the fancy extras but I really like it and I hope to DIY the oil/fluid changes, brake pads, air filters etc and only use a garage for the major stuff. SBC pump was replaced a year ago, oil changes have occurred regularly etc...

Tips/products/maintenance schedule advice welcome!!

Welcome! You will find the M112 engine easy to work on. But these cars need a lot of TLC as the years go on. Start a savings fund now!

SBC is replaced that's a plus, and having to pride for DIY is awesome! They're pretty good cars, and changing the fluids will take you far! Congrats and see you on the blacktop!
