'97 - '98 E class reliability
I currently own a 1998 E 320 sedan. It currently has 58K miles. I purchased the car with 37K on it as a "Starmark" warranty car. The only problems I have had were 1) the crank position sensor replaced under warranty 2) the rear passenger window regulator replaced under warranty. My only concern now is the dreaded harmonic balancer. At last service it was said to be OK. I am considering replacing it as a preventative maintenance item. Best to replace it BEFORE it goes out. I have heard that the repair bill can be expensive when and if it fails. Pay a little now or a lot later. This is a great car. I would suggest that you buy the best you can afford. Good luck!
