#6394 of 6709 A Question by merc1 Feb 07, 2006 (8:22 am)
Would you E-Class buyers consider a E280 is Mercedes offered it here. BMW has the 525/530/550, but Mercedes only has the E350 and E500. The E280 has the same engine as the C280, a 3L V6 with 228hp, essentially more power than last year's E320, but with a less torque. Would you consider an E280 if it were priced at say 43-44K?   M Replies to this message: edspider1 (Feb 07, 2006 11:04 am)

Replying to: merc1 (Feb 07, 2006 8:22 am) Very good question. If the rated MPG were 2 better in the city, I'd do it. But since MB would most likely also lower the interior luxury/option mix, I would be forced to get the E350. I had to make sure I wouldn't miss any of the E500 extras before ordering the E350. I would have liked the air suspension, but that was about it.

Replying to: esf (Feb 06, 2006 7:25 pm) The V6 is plenty good enough. Get the E500 if the air suspension is worth $6K to you, but don't get it for the extra HP. What about the 4MATIC? I opt'd against it because it doesn't snow that much in Chicago and I didn't want to loose the 7 speed.

Replying to: ray00edm (Sep 25, 2005 1:33 am) Now I had it for 8 months, below is what I thought: 1. Keyless entry. Worth the money. Save time. Open trunk without key. Provide freedom to hide the keys or wearing them around your neck. 2. Xeon headlights: Has more value in cool-looking, then praticle. 3. Dynamic seat: not worth it. Good for showing off. 4. Navigation: worth it. 5. Premium audio system: I found it sound much better then before. I guess It needs to be broken in. 6. Sunroof package. Worth the money. 7. Tire pressure monitor: Way worth the money! It warned my immediately after a punture.

Replying to: edspider1 (Jan 17, 2006 12:00 pm) Spider, Yes, I know what you mean: little info about Designo anywhere except the brochures. Dealers here have not seen one. I was intrigued by the paint colors in the brochures- looks different, and I rather liked the color, but again, choked on the $6 grand. I don't think there is any way you would get that money back in resale. Maybe in Beverly Hills or Costa Mesa or some other Rock Star Haven... It is pretty, though, isn't it? Joy

Replying to: esf (Feb 06, 2006 7:25 pm) ESF: Absolutely try the E320 CDI!! Better mileage, still quiet, nice ride and a LOT MORE TORQUE!! Really fun to drive. These diesels don't puff black smoke, don't smell, and are smooth to drive with amazing "get up and go". I think it is the best of both worlds...   I used to drive an Audi A6. Nice car, but the E320 is better. I do not see any advantage to the E350 over the CDI unless you are afraid of diesel. This is a woman's perspective, however... Joy
#6400 of 6709 Where is Everyone? by edspider1 Feb 22, 2006 (1:41 pm)
There hasn't been a post for 12 days on this topic. Is the E no longer loved? My dealer says my E just left the factory and now they need to find a "vessel". I guess the Queen Mary was not available He didn't give me an ETA. I hope 3 weeks isn't too agressive.
#6401 of 6709 2004 E500 4matic by golfer71 Feb 25, 2006 (5:04 pm)
I am looking at buying a used e500 4matic with navigation. My question is does the navigation have the regional DVD or the entire USA DVD? I have heard that Mercedes Nav use to do only regional but now they have the entire USA. What year did this practice start? Plus, if you get the new DVD does that mean the older Nav will work with the entire USA or not?   Plus, is $41k a good price for a this car with 43k miles?   Thanks in advance.
#6402 of 6709 Hands Free Kit (MHI) by edspider1 Feb 28, 2006 (6:47 am)
Has anyone had the MHI kit added by the dealer? I have many questions and hope to know more before I get taken when I ask the dealer.   What should I expect to pay for the MHI kit not including the cradle/phone?   Has anyone used the new MB Bluetooth cradle/adaptor?   For E-Class 2006, does MHI include voice dialing? Does this voice command also control some none phone features?   Is the voice quality outstanding? I don't want my callers to have trouble understanding me. And I need very clear sound since I have trouble hearing to begin with.   On the MB website, it shows dealer add on at $995, but factory price of $1500. Seems like it should be the other way around. I think both prices were w/o phone.
#6403 of 6709 Considering a 2003 E320 by jodar96 Feb 28, 2006 (1:13 pm)
I mentioned this in another site. Maybe this is a better place.......   If I purchase one that has more than 50K, am I going to have all kinds of electrical and electronic glitch problems, or by 50K, they should have ironed out all the issues under warranty? Is the brake by wire troublesome?   I am also considering a 02-03 Lexus GS300. I know Lexus is reliable, but is not as good looking as the 03 E320. We had a RX300 that gave us no problem. I also have a 96 Camry XLE V-6. In 10 years, I have been to Toyota dealer once for replacing the timing belt. I like the look of the 03 E320. It has the most attractive look and lines of any sedan out there. I just don't want to spend repair$.   Thanks, Joe Replies to this message: blissful (Mar 04, 2006 9:35 pm)
