New to these forums so apologies in advance if I'm going the wrong way about asking these questions.
A few years back I bought a used 2003 w211 E320CDi Avantgarde, as with all things Mercedes it was a great looking car, and the Panormaic roof was pure joy. Unfortunately the problems just kept mounting, so eventually I bit the bullet and sold it for next to nothing. Before the problems started to appear and the bills rose ever higher, the performance was very addictive for a diesel car. With torque to match some performance cars, but too many electrical problems and eventually the gearbox went. Before that I suffered the notorious limp mode when returning home. I'm no mechanic, never have been and probably never will be. Obviously I'm no Mercedes expert and won't challenge anyone's advice as that's what I'm here for.
The E320CDi problems seem very long and in truth it put me off ever returning to a possible w211 of any description. The fact that the UK is coming down hard on all Diesel cars, opens up a return to Petrol again. Fuel costs aside I've seen an E500 Elegance which is completely opposite to what the E320CDi provides regarding economy. The model is another 2003 w211 with a supposed 91,000 miles on the clock, priced at £5,000. There is a cheaper one at £2,250 with 145,000 miles but it's with a private seller which always puts me off. Regardless of whether any remain on the market long enough for me to scrounge the cash, I'd just like to know what other problems occur regularly for E500 besides the Airmatic suspension issues.
Please go easy, newbie here.
Hello all,
I happily purchased my first M-B about a month ago. It's a low-mile 2008 E63 AMG Wagon (Black/Black). My wife drives it mostly, but I take every opportunity I can to get behind the wheel... I'll run to the store for as little as new shoestrings. We both love it. It has not had the head bolts done, and that is a scary monkey on my back right now. Fortunately, it's clear I've found THE Merc resource and community here at MBWorld. I also drive a Toyota Landcruiser, and like ih8mud.com has been invaluable to me over the years, it's clear that this site will be equally (if not more) resourceful in plowing through my euro ignorance! Pleased to be here and thanks in advance for all your assistance! -Tom in NC

Hi, I'm Yosia. I hope we can share informations about Mercedes Benz car.
I'm driving Mercedes Benz SLK R172, fully modified.
Well you can check my car modification list in this link :
Greetings from CA! My wife and I actually got our GLC 300 in March 2016. We had been searching for a while for a car and were seriously considering the C300, but didn't quite love the rear. When I saw the GLC 300 commercial in January of last year, I fell in love right away. Yelled out to my wife that I had found our car. We love our GLC 300 and are very happy with our purchase.
New to the forum from AZ with a 92 500 SL that I am restoring. I look forward to learning from the more senior members. PS It is a 500, not a 600, the badging was changed some time ago.
Hello all. My name is Brett and I just signed up for the forum. I just bought a 2010 C250 4matic. Update. Took that car back because it had a bent frame. Now have a 2011 C250.
Thank you everyone on this forum who contributes so much.

Hi, my name is Mary. Thanks for the welcome, I look forward to conversing with you all.
I just purchased my first Benz a 2005 C240 AMG. I absolutely love this car and I have a question. Whenever I look for parts or accessories I am asked if it is a Base or a 4-Matic, so how do I know what type it is? I thought the AMG was completely different.
Hi All,
My name is Mark I live west of Boston Ma USA. I have a silver 2012 C350 4 matic coupe. It is completely stock at this time. But I would like to modify the exhaust. And am looking for some advice on what to do, thinking about X pipe and quad tips.

Hi all,
Im planning on purchasing my first MB so I look forward to learning a lot from everyone. Thanks
I'm Kevin in Northern New Jersey. I've been an MB fanatic since the womb. When my friends had posters of Farrah Fawcett and Cheryl Tiegs on the walls I had pics of MB's. I'm a long time car collector with cars from many makers American and of course my German cars. MB's only. Thank you.
The stable currently consists of: 1972 280SEL 4.5, 1979 450SLC, 1984 500SEC & 1987 560SL. All low mileage cars and all gorgeous. Once I can add a 6.9 to my stable, I'll consider myself fairly well satiated.
I've browsed through this forum a multitude of times and feel it's time to join instead of freeload. Thanks for having me.
My 1979 450SLC. The sexiest car I've ever laid my eyes on. It sat for 18 years with 28,000 miles .

1987 560SEL 52" Stretch limousine. The one that I let go. Formerly owned by the prince of all men, Hugh Hefner. May he RIP. If I own a limo I want to ride in the back. Not drive it. So it was let loose.

Hi, my name is Keith, I've just brought a 2006 c class c180k-evolution-s. W203, which although was only a 1 owner (a doctor) needs a little bit of TLC, i.e cleaning and the wheels defo need some work. Apart from that almost everything works, but problem with the rear lights, and the seat belt presenters not working (neither is the interior light when opening the door, but works with the switch). Leather is in top condition, not faded or ripped. I am from the UK living in the south a place called Havant near Portsmouth.
