Georgia? Probably not a speck of rust on it if it spent it's life there. Nothin on the bottom of that car but a little red, Georgia clay! Yeah, you hit the jackpot with that deal!

One thing I like about the w210 is that the wheel wells can handle really wide tires with little to no work. On my e300 I had 255 fronts and 265 rears. Really stuck to the road

Eric, we bought a 1998 E320 new. Periodically there are electrical issues: windows will not operate, seats will not move. If you experience either of these problems simply pull the No. 16 fuse (in the main fuse box in front of the brake booster) for a minute, or so, with the engine running and reinstall the fuse. That resets things and seats/windows operate properly. Our local MB dealer's Service Department was unable to pinpoint the root cause of the problem so I perform that "remedy" every so often … sometimes it's every other week or so, sometimes less often … no rhyme or reason to frequency.

Ferdman:
Thanks for the electrical tip! I'll save it in case I ever experience this problem. |

Ferdman - That sounds like a door control module acting up. I had the same issue and tracked it to the RR DCM (which is integrated into the window motor). I think I found some info on BenzWorld on tracking the issue using the CAN BUS connectors in the wiring tray under the passenger side door sill.

We have owned our 98 E320 for about 18 years. Bought it when it was about 3 years old and had done about 45k km. Now at 245+km. No drive train problems! My wife drives this car. We were just talking about it today - It's such a nice handling and comfortable car. I said that if I could find a low mileage one in mint condition, I might be tempted to buy it for myself. Of course we would then have way too many cars! (One of them is a 2019 Subaru, and really that is not in the same class (Although a great value). It gets parked most of time - just used for long trips.) Please ask if you have any issues. Over 18 years, you get to know a lot about a car
