E320 Reliability
 
Could someone please tell me about the reliability of a 2001 E320 4Matic. Ive heard lots of good things and lots of bad things (electrical problems, window regulators, harmonic balancer issues, transmissions). Please give me some insight as I seriously consider purchasing this car. It has 72,000 Kms.

The 2000-2002 E320's have a really good reputation. The crankshaft balancer problem is said to have been corrected in the middle of the 2000 model year.

Even still, if you have a car with the bad crankshaft pulley bushing, it is not terribly expensive to replace.

Last, the 4-matic system used in the W210's has proven to be a good system, unlike the poorly designed 4-matic system used in the W124's.

Private sale or through a dealer?

Through a used car dealer. I will have it inspected at the Mercedes dealer.
