You are in the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Forum. Your Hosts are pat & karens
I am interested in possibly purchasing a used E class AWD wagon. I am currently a Chevy Suburban owner. The gas prices are just too much!!! I'd like to downsize to a wagon, family members, friends have owned Mercedes and loved them. It's a fabulous car also. But safety for our children is what draws me to this car. We have two big dogs that need the space in the back. My questions are as follows: Can anyone questimate the gas mileage for me? What should we expect to pay annually in service also as a questimate barring obvious unforseen problems? I saw one today in a split second that had 41,000 miles and was $35,000...I think, could be off on those numbers a bit. Any other advice or things to look for would be much appreciated. Thank you

Replying to: rdkayak (Apr 11, 2005 5:05 pm) a couple mpg more on the highway, a couple less around town. what to expect to pay annually for service? be afraid. imho these cars are subject to the bathtub curve of reliability/repairs. many early repairs, not so many later on, then many more much later on. hopefully you'll find one in the middle of the bathtub curve when the car will maybe be reliable. otherwise, i hope you have lots of cash set aside for random pricey repairs. my advice, compare with a new/warranteed volvo v70. |

If you want to pass along information about other automotive forums, you'll have to do some way other than on the forums here. The basic problem is that we're not in the business of driving traffic to someone else's discussion forums. And if you want to get such information, please make sure your profile has your email set to "public" so that other users can click and send you email. Do not post you email in a post and ask for people to email you things. For one thing, we want the discussion here to take place on the boards where everyone can share and be involved. Also, posting your email address in a public forum where search engines and spiders crawl content, your address can end up on numerous "spam" lists. For your own protection, we recommend and prefer that you not post your email address in messages. You can make your email address 'public' - meaning available in your Forums profile to other registered members only if you wish for others to have access to it.
