1997 C230 or 1997 E320???
 

Both have about 90K miles. Both run well.
Which would you choose?

1997 C230 or 1997 E320?

Anyone have experience on the reliability of the 1997 E320?

Thanks

Don't have any experience with the E320... but I am more than satisfied with my 97 C230..

Given what the price of gas is these days >> and the liklihood that it's only to go up in price .. and the decent milage per gallon of a C230...

Really like that four-banger!!

I have a 96 E320 with the same M104 engine as the 97.
Currently have 163K + miles on it.
No major problems with it but end up spending about $1000 per year for little things that need attention.

It depends on what size car you prefer. The E320 is a bit larger than the C230 and will behave differently. My preference would be the larger E320.
