Having said that, I'd hold out for a C320. As you can see from my sig, that's what we have. An '01 C320 with about 23K miles. We bought it 2 years ago with only 6K on the odo!!! (Hell, we stole it off a local Toyota dealer's lot -- it was a trade-in and we walked in the door on the last day of the month.) Sweet car...and the dealer knocked out the electronic bugs near the end of the warranty period (after we'd owned the car a while)...and even a few weeks out of warranty!
We've had a C240 wagon as a loaner during the above-mentioned repairs. That's why I speak with a qualified voice -- you want the C320! Be patient. Your E-class isn't depreciating like a rock, so don't worry.  |
I agree. Hold out for the C320. The smaller engine in the C240 will leave you wanting for more power. Also, the C320 is better appointed.
The deal was not all that good either. Last November I paid $19.5K for a CPO 2002 C320 wagon with 45k miles. The car is awesome, I love my '98 E320, but the C320 is a lot of fun to drive.
Be patient, the right deal will come along.
