We just got back from a 1400 mile desert camping trip in our 04 E320 wagon. It cost $3000 a year ago and I put another $1000 into it. Shortly after buying it MBUSA replaced the fuel tank and all related components free of charge under the extended warranty. It can do 80-90mph all day with all our gear and I'm not tired after a 5 hour drive. It's our favorite car for anything more than an hour away.

We also have a C320 wagon which is just as good, quicker, better handling but the interior is much smaller. I mostly use it for shorter trips and canyon runs.

I fully support your right to that opinion no matter how wrong it is .

Of the 3 ads you posted the E500 is by far the best choice despite the collapsed airmatic suspension. The m113 is easy to diy with fewer failure points. Airmatic can be swapped for coils. The V8/4matic fuel economy sucks but still cheaper than maintaining a 350 of any year.
