I would keep looking.

 I had those cars checked out and I've reached the same conclusion.  I've increased my budget so now I'm lookin at a '95 E320 w/ 160Km, a '92 400E w/ 155Km and a '95 and '97 C280 with 115Km.
I havn't driven any of them but I had leased a new '97 C280 for 4 years back in '98 and I had a pleasant ownership experience.
I'm leaning towards the 400E personally (I like its size and I find the E320 to be dime a dozen), but I don't know a thing about Benz V8's.
Someone care to tell me the common problems w/ these engines?
Am I making a mistake going for a V8?  I'm driving all for cars tormw.
