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!

I have owned MB"s constantly since 1968 but that will soon come to an end. I recently purchased a new MB which is now for sale. Hard to believe how cheap they are now building them. I recently purchased 2 Lexus' one for myself and the other for my wife. I can't believe that I am going to say this but there is no comparison bertween the newer MB's and the Lexus. I was once part of the crowd that said "give me good old German cars" and "Lexus is nothing more than a copy cat". From what I have experienced MB should be copying Lexus and stop living off of their reputation.
