Welcome! Looks great. Establish a relationship with an MB dealer or independent repair shop and you will get years of service from the MB.

Thank you so much for that. I spoke with two different mechanics from 2 of the local dealers in this area. I was going to be taking it in for service this morning.. Actually a recall on the SBC system for the year and model. Since they do this according to individual VIN# , it turned out that mine had no open recalls.. I did get the chance to throw out a couple of questions and they both were very helpful 👍😊

Welcome Penny!!! You got a good deal - Nice looking E500! A very comfortable cruiser - hopefully you get that drain issue figured out.

Thank you so much. Just been doing some simple troubleshooting and process of elimination. Can't open trunk so it's a stumbling block but a few things have been eliminated. I did decide to check all the fuses in the two spots I have access to. The trunk remote fuse is in the trunk but under the hood I found two that were wrong and one was a 30 in cigarette lighter that should have only been 15. I did try to use it a few days ago to charge my phone and it showed as though it was charging but after 10 min. It sucked my juice in the phone from 19% to 3%. I took it out.. Curious to see if there's any changes. Thank you😊
