2003 E320 w/ Sport Package
Hello from Florida

Hi Everyone,
I just got a 2003 E320 with the sport package and 140k miles and this is my first Mercedes. I managed to find one with 2 previous owners and extensive maintenance record. I am a DIYer enthusiast and I share my experience on my youtube channel. The car has a good engine and transmission and 99% of the electronics work. I plan to leverage this forum a lot in the process of fixing what's wrong with it, so I'm excited to join the forum.
If you have a chance, go check my channel -DCF GARAGE - YouTube
Daniel

Thank everyone. Here are the photos. I got a lot to do to get it looking good. But I think it will be worth it, as this car had exceptional maintenance done at the dealership by the two previous owners that were in the same family. It only has minor details to fix like voltage regulator, passenger seat module, wheel bearings, tires and a good detail.

Thanks! I've already went to the junkyard and got new sun visors for $10, brake light for 15 and mirror gasket and door pins for free. I bought a new module for the passenger seat, as I don't want to do any splicing to get rid of the parasitic draw related to the memory.
