MB slipping by jjsani

I have a C320, looking next year to getting into a E320. From what I've seen the new E is fabulous looking. Reading some of the posted messages leaves me shaking my head. MB was and still is supposed to be the elite in the car industry.
 
How can MB release new E's and not be prepared to equip the in dash CD player or even know what nav system its going to use let alone have it available. From some of the posted messages:
"Lack of radio station name on the display"
"Dial for automatic temperature settings"
"Full leather seats not standard"
 
Is it true that the cost for metallic paint is $1,150 (One time special Order charge), tell me its not so. If it is $1,150, can anyone tell me what's the difference in the paint from last year ($640).
 
I know some of you may say its small insignificant stuff, but this is not what I expect from MB.

Extended Warranty by mbe2003

I am purchasing a E 320 and the extended warranty is currently a very hot topic for me. Can anyone tell me if the MB warranty is better than any of the others that are out there? What are the other companies that offer warranties? I see Warranty Gold, are there others that are good?
 
My dealer does not want to deal on the price of the extended warranty and that seems odd to me. I this an item that has room to deal on price? It seems to me that it would. I see the post about the California dealer that seems to sell at a discount. Is there any downside or risk to going with an out of state dealer to get the discount?
 
I would appreciate some input from those of you with more experience. I know the new E is going to be an awesome car. I also know that getting a car in the initial build can have some risks.
 
Thanks in advance for your input.

MB slipping - jjsani by rayscar

I disagree. All the things you mention as options are standard on the E500. They are options on the E320. This is done to give us choices and for price differences for people with different budgets and/or wants. One size does not fit all.
 
My E500 was ordered in August and will be built on 9/30/02. I had no problems getting my ordered accepted with the in-dash CD changer. On other boards there are plenty of posts from people who have already received cars and have the CD changer so this does not seem to be a problem. As for the DVD-Nav, there is a $500 discount for ordering it now which is what I did. I'll save some money and it will be a great system when it arrives in the first quater of next year.
 
To each their own. If you think MB is slipping then there are plenty of other car makers to choose from. But I'll be enjoying one of the best and safest cars on the road, the E500.

And in addition to what rayscar pointed out, the special order paint has always carried a $1k+ extra charge. If you want Lemon Yellow, they'll be happy to give it to you. And metallic paint has always been a $600+ option.
 
Are you trying to troll this forum, or would you really equate lack of radio station name with lack of quality??

'96 E320 Reliability by cduong

I have this car with 50,000 miles and reliability has been excellent. Oil change every 4000 miles, I just switch to Syns oil Mobil 1 so that I change every 10,000 miles instead (just because I change oil myself). Changed front break pads one time, only regular maintenance so far...

Fuel Requirements by dermartin

I am thinking about purchasing an '03 E320. The MB website recommends 91 octane fuel. I do not know what was recommended for '02 models. Have others used 89 octane and have there been any problems?

2003 Navigation System in E500 by lex10

I was recently told by the dealer that the nav system is only discounted for leases and did not apply to financed vehicles. Can anyone advise to the contrary. I was interested in the nav especially if I can save $500 with the rebate.

E500 Pricing by rlsmith11

I just took delivery on a 2003 E500. What a beautiful car!!!! Best car I've ever owned. My previous one was a 99 E320....which I had no complaints with. But the new E500 is like driving an S. I was considering ordering the 320 with the sport package etc. But I'm glad I went with the power, airmatic,etc. I have the keyless go which is a nice "toy". The only thing I might want to do is get the sport wheels. The car came with the slotted 5 spoke which is standard. My dealer can't get another 500 until late December because of the demand. The other two dealers I talked to are still waiting on their first one to come in (mid to late November). Anybody else getting a better deal than list??? I paid $500 under.
