I suppose you could try some of the online search engines as found in Edmunds or www.cars.com. http://marketplace.edmunds.com/marketplace/index.html

Anyone with history on 4-matic e wagons? Would like to trade my ML when 02 e's are announced.
#23 of 286 Workshop Manual by jwbont Nov 28, 2000 (3:19 am)
Since I'm one of those gear geeks that likes to work on my own car, I called the Mercedes 800 numbers to see if a workshop manual was available for my 2001 E320. Imagine my surprise when I was told that it would not be available for another 5 years (this time to correspond with the warranty period during which all expenses were to be paid, so she said). Moreover the factory rep implied that I shouldn't work on my own car as it was too complicated and intended for authorized persons only. I also own a 1988 BMW 735. It has 160,000 miles on it and with rare exception, hasn't been touched by anyone other than myself. Even if the E320 needs zero maintenance, I want to know about the internal workings. Can anyone out there shed any light on the availability of a workshop manual?
#24 of 286 more muscle for e230 4matic wagon by jjmcg Jan 01, 2001 (7:51 am)
While my 2000 e320 4-matic wagon is a truly impressive vehicle, I am seriously looking at a BOW 540 with sports package which has more muscle.   Before I do, if anyone has suggestions for tweaking the handling/performance of the e320 wagon (AMG?) do let me know. If not I will sell it.

faced the same decision that you are. I decided to select the 2001 320E for the following reasons: 1. The MB was not that less powerful. If you want a wagon with real performance, look at the Volvo T5 with 5-speed box. Real fast. 2. The MB was 49K$ as opposed to 54K. 3. For overall similar size and weight, the BMW has an appalling lack of carrying room compared to the MB, the Volvo, and even the Saturn L wagon. 4. The BWM is a gas hog. 5. Most importantly, the wagon ergonomics for the MB is clearly at the head of the pack.
#26 of 286 4Matic Wagon Question by dmalley Jan 12, 2001 (5:26 pm)
I own a 91 4-Matic wagon with 57k. The car has been terrific and I am enjoying it as much as any car I've owned. Is anyone aware of problems with the early 4-Matics? I've heard that two types of differental fluid was used in these models and when the seal/gasket between the two goes, it causes a failure and the differental has to be replaced. This was supposedly corrected in later models. Any thoughts or comments? Thanks, dmalley

john --   consider an engine makeover? try www.renntechmercdes.com .. they have experience on tunning mercedes since the owner worked for amg in the past.    enz wagon has more room than the bmw's ... also the 4 wheel drive can't be beat    last resort, if you can import one ... spring for an amg wagon http://msnhomepages.talkcity.com/BondSt/thegeneraltso/amg.html good luck
#29 of 286 What price ? by mojojojo1 Jan 19, 2001 (12:45 pm)
After going through the alternatives, I will be buying a new E320 Wagon with 4-matic. I live in NY, and from the forums and sniffing around it looks like the going rate is basically the list price with no discount (or premium). Am I correct in this ?   A dealer offered me a floor model which "a customer had ordered but did not want", and I think there were 17 miles on the clock. He offered to give me the CD changer free, which I think he would not do on another stock car. It wasn't the color my wife wanted, so it was a no-go, but I feel I'm "missing something" on why he would offer the free CD on one car and not another - can someone tell me what it may be ?   I looked at European Delivery, but it doesn't seem particularly worthwhile. If I'm missing something, please tell me.   Also, at this point, is it worth waiting for 2002 model year, which presumably will start coming in this summer/fall - are there any significant differences in price/spec ? (I read the re design would not be out till 2003 model year).   If I can get this info elsewhere in the Town Hall, please point me, and thanks in advance for your help.

david --    don't let the salesman scare you off ... all prices are negotiable especially on wagons. they don't sell many of them. when we purchase our '00 4-matic wagon, i did the research and gave them $5000.00 under invoice, he came back with $3000.00 under invoice. at that time, the price was still pretty good but i wanted more. i accepted the offer but also wanted a cd changer and a roof rack. i told them a car this expensive should have a built-in cd changer! he gave me the go-around that the benz clientele overwhelmingly listens to tapes because of the book-on-tape deal. however, they accepted and now i have a 4-matic with almost every option except for the nav system.    good luck
