Does anyone know if Mercedes ever made a E500 wagon that wasn't 4-matic ? I have been looking and have never seen one without it.

it appears that the answer to your question is no.

The current body style, from 2004 onward: The E500 wagons were only built as 4Matic wagons, and have since been discontinued. They were my favorite car, with full leather as std and air suspension; set the shocks on FIRM and go with 302 HP.

Thanks,,,, I have always wanted a V8 wagon and would consider one, even with the issues that seem to surround the recent years.

The 2005 E55 Wagon is NOT 4matic as I recall.

The E55 and E63 wagons have no 4 matic...


The newer 4 matic systems work really well.... What is worrying you?
