Should I buy this E320 ?!?!
I'm lookin for a nice used car for around 25k. I've looked at Audi's but have been deterred from them because of the cost of maintaining them. I've come across a certified 99 E320 in good condition with 75k miles on it for $24,900 on a 100k mile warranty. I'm goin to test drive it tomorrow but should I be weary of this or take it while I can??

I would check out Kelley Blue Book on this car and see what the value is:
www.kbb.com I would also run a carfax on it to see if it has an accident history. Last, it is always a good idea to take it to the dealer or a respected MB mechanic and get a PPI (pre-purchase inspection) done. It may cost $100 or so, but they're worth it. I also think it is the general consensus on this forum that it's always a good idea to get the longest extended warranty you can purchase. There are just so many expensive components that can go on cars these days, that it's good insurance to have. You mention it is "Certified". If this is a Starmark warranty car, then it has a fabulous warranty. I believe these can be extended, and if it can be extended, I'd do it. Having said that, the E320's are great cars, and there are really no weak spots to look out for.

They're pretty nice cars, I'd consider it. Watch for a leaking rear differential.
