Hello,
I am searching for a used e320 wagon '99-01
I just drove a '99 which had nuematic lumbar/contouring seats. Is that standard equipment or an option?
Thanks for response and any insights on buying a used wagon.

Hi sced:
I've owned a 2004 E-500 wagon since March of 2004. It's an AWD and I don't think AWD decreases performance one iota on the E-500. This is a superb touring vehicle. But beware of one thing: I replaced the tires at 7000 miles. The rear ones barely passed the annual Pa state inspection and the front ones might have lasted until 15M or so. They were Continental ContiTouring tires with a super soft compound, totally ill-suited for this car. I complained to MB of North America and got short shrifted with a primer on tire wear, info. any teenager would know. Look for the DOT treadwear rating stamped on ther sidewalls, anything less than a 400, don't accept.

Both are new cars. '04 model is 5K less. I plan to keep the car at least for 6 or 7 years.

I have had a 2001 E320 Wagon and have serviced at similar intervals, typically 1 to 2K miles earlier. Never a problem with the car, now at 36K miles and going strong. I would not worry at all. Go for it!

I'v been driving an E320 Wagon 4-matic in California mountains for 4 yrs and now in chicago snow. The awd is a terrific feature, well worth the trade-offs. The car is very peppy and in an E500, it would, I suspect, be imperceptible relative to other options.

97 e 320 rough idle by xenogogue

I just purchased a 97 e 320 with 125,000 miles.
 
The car runs great and doesn't have any oil leaks.
 
However, the engine idles rough and is rather noisy for a Mercedes.
 
Any suggestions? Do I need a tune-up? Is it necessary to use a certified Mercedes shop?

Numerous problems by fvanacore

We own a AWD E-320 Wagon and it is absolutely JUNK. This car only has 78k and has so many problems, too numerous to list. Just when you get one thing fixed, something else goes wrong. This car is primarily driven by my wife, and not abused. It looks great, is solid built, and when its running is a fine car. WHEN its running. This vehicle has had every problem you have read about in this forum and More. The dealer is fine, but they can only do so much
