2004 C230K
Used 2003 E320

I am considering trading my 2004 C230K in on a 2003 E320. The 2003
E320 has 87,836 miles and has been well maintained with a full service history at a local Mercedes dealership. My question is, would the E320 be more trouble prone that my 2004 C230K. If I buy the car I am going to have the SBC replaced. Can I get feedback as a new member.

maybe w211 owners can help you out better. Between the C230K vs E320, I would say E320 engine probably last a bit longer being NA.

And of course after I posted this, I realized that I was in the W212 forum and not the W211. I reposted in the W211 section.

Thanks
