Looking to buy a 2017 E300
I was just wondering how the e300's are holding up.... specifically the turbochargers.
I am looking at a 2017 e300 with 120k miles and was wondering if it is worth it at this mileage and if anyone has been having any issues or trouble with the turbochargers.

If you're concerned about reliability, then you'll have greater peace of mind with the E43 or an E450 and its 6 cylinder motor. Although rare, there are reports of early model W213s which experience a cracked piston and require an engine swap. I haven't really heard any issues with the turbochargers themselves on the E300 though.

2017 E300
Where are you located? Looking to sell my 2017 with 88K miles.
Things to note are if the thermostat has been changed. Known to fail, and costly to replace. Also make sure spark plugs were changed regularly as they fail early and cause misfire.

2017 E300 Sport, 2017 GLC300 Sport/Night
We have a 2017 GLC300 with 125k miles and a 2017 E300 with 65k miles (same engine). Neither has had any engine problems. The GLC needed a PCV valve/intake line assembly at 93k, fixed under warranty extension. The E300 had the known low-pressure fuel line leak fixed under warranty at 42k. Other than those, no mechanical problems on the recommended maintenance schedule.
