Will I have owned a 1983 300D, 268,000mi (a tank of a car)Sold , Then a 1987 300D,230,000mi, Totaled in an accident. And the last a 1996 E320,122,000mi, just sold today. I have never been so happy to get rid of a car. I have owned 12 or so cars and trucks. Chevy ,Dodge, International. I have never had the heads off of any of them untill the 1996 E320. My current 1978 Chevy truck has 300,000mi now. Many other E320 problems like the front sway bar that rips its self out of the bottom of the frame( I have photos). The wiring harness, mine was replaced just before I bought it. What has happened to the Mercedes , Or is it just the one that I owned??????????? I think I will be looking at Lexus. Good Luck to All!
