I am looking at something in the 50-60,000 mile range and want to know what experiences forum members may have has with this model.

I just bought a 98 E320 with 120,000 miles on it. The car is comfortable, reliable, and dependable. The car needed and had a rear main seal replaced prior to my purchasing. The only other maintenance has been brakes, tires etc.

This is the first "newer" and smaller Sedan we have owned. All my previous sedans were 126's. I am pleasantly surprised at the feel and handling of this car. I was afraid the lighter weight and size would make the car seem unsubstantial.

This car is a real joy to drive on long trips.
