#19 of 88 e55 by jwilberding Apr 13, 2001 (8:15 pm)
I recently sold me E320, so technically I am not "currently" an owner. I test drove a e55 yesterday and was thinking of putting a deposit down on the new supercharged one due out in 2002. Anyone done research on or know a good place to read more about the new model?

Is anyone out nearing the end of your lease, or maybe even not that close to the end, but are already getting offers to buy the vehicle from the lessor? It doesn't matter if you plan to take the offer or not. Does this describe your situation? If so, please post your story in our discussion Talk to the Press, or respond directly to Jeannine Fallon, our PR Director at Edmunds jfallonEdmunds.com. As always, your identity will be protected at your request. Thanks much! KarenS Host Owner's Clubs
#22 of 88 Keyless Entry for 96 E320 by 96e320 May 14, 2001 (10:54 am)
Can anyone suggest an aftermarket source for a keyless entry for a 96 E320 and about how much it should cost?   Thanks,   John
#23 of 88 new e320 owner by filsaime May 28, 2001 (3:46 am)
Hello all. I've spent untold hours reading all 1700+ messages. One thing I'm convinced of:mbusa should have a link to this site. I know I'm in great company.   Fell in love (2nd love after my fiancee) and bought a 2000E320-4Matic with 14,900 from a Lexus Dealer. It's a Desert Sand; still smelled brand new and a non-smoker car. Never been so impressed by a car. Just took a 200+ mile drive and my mpg was over 31 with the cruise control at 60. I will share with you that I paid $46,500 including taxes and Lojack installed; don't want to know if I paid too much. The only option it doesn't have is the navigation system. The looks and thumbs up I've gotten to date are unreal. My fiancee thinks I shouldn't be driving when she's not in the Benz! I ordered my Zaino supply based on everything I read here before I even bought the car! I'm about to begin my first application.   My only dissapointment with the car thus far is the front brake dust. I even think of it when I'm applying the brake pedal. Can someone tell me if the brake dust covers sold in Pep Boys or elsewhere work? Would they cause any damage or affect the car's performance.
#24 of 88 Hello from north of Boston, MA. 2001 E430 by bobhobbz Jun 02, 2001 (6:44 pm)
Glad to have found this group and be here. Picked up my first MB, a new E430 two days ago. Obsidian black/Java, with roof and Xenon. Added extended warranty, audobahn (?) some clear plastic protection for the hood, lojack. total $ pushed to $59K including taxes and registration. Still missing CD/Nav system. Look forward to drive it more often. The second morning experienced some vibration in the engine when started out, also the fuel pump generated a constant high pitch hum which the dealer is replacing in two days. I really like the car, so hope everything is going to work out perfectly.

#26 of 88 E 320 / E320 4 Matic Advice Sought by christchurch Jun 12, 2001 (8:08 pm)
A friend is interested in the 4-matic because he lives in the northeastern U. S. He has been told by some that the traction control system (ESP) is so good, however, that you really don't need the 4-matic.   So his dilemma is either to buy an E320 or an E320 4Matic. There is a clear difference in price. Is it worth it?   Both cars have about 42,000 miles on them and are 1998 models. Anyone have a suggestion? What price would you go for? How about an extended warranty? Worth the price?   All this info. would be very helpful. christchurch
#27 of 88 an older Mercedes for my daughter by dkris Jun 18, 2001 (9:38 am)
Hi ... I am in the market for an older E class for my daughter. I'm thinking 190e --- 1990 or so vintage. A mechanic friend said, "absolutely not, do not buy a 190 -- the maintenance will eat you alive."   I am interested in hearing other opinions. What has been the experience of the members of this group?
#28 of 88 To Christchurch - 4matic or not. by cce182 Jun 21, 2001 (5:19 am)
I have a 2000 E430 4-Matic. I think the cost of AWD is one of the big bargains on the options list! The cost of owning it are slightly reduced gas mileage, 0.4 seconds off the 0-60 times, and a longer wait if you order the car (it actually has to go to two factories for assembly so I'm told by the dealer). But if you ever drive in snow, IMHO it's well worth having. Since you are buying used, the price difference may be different.   In my experience, ESP doesn't always help in snow. It can get confused if all wheels can slip in the snow, and I've sometimes gotten better results by shutting it off in deep snow or when trying to start out on an up-slope.   Mine came with Goodyear Eagle F1 tires - a great rain tire but a scary snow tire. I bought four Blizzaks on AMG wheels, which cost more than the 4matic options. But, now, I wouldn't hesitate to take it out in bad weather except for sharing the road with drivers in far worse trouble than I am.   Of course, this is a sedan with low ground clearance, and in deep snow makes a lousy snowplow.   Regarding warranties - I assume you are talking about the one MB offers. Whether to pick this depends on how many electronic goodies the cars have. The MB warranty does not cover some stuff, so be sure you're happy with the coverage. All these guys list what they cover - none list what they DON'T cover. That uncovered list was extensive enuf that I opted out of the program.   Good luck
