Used 2002 Mercedes-Benz E-Class for Sale near Sacramento, CA

The concept, the space and the mechanics are good to very good. BUT !!! The most rust-prone body of the 90s - Mercedes had to repair and repaint tens of thousands of cars of this type. Before buying a used car of this type, you have to look for hidden rust !!! Repairing a rusty body will almost always be more expensive than buying this used car, which is at least 18 years old!

Best Sedan made in the under 80,000.00 range. It is the standard that all other cars are judged and they all fall short of the overall value of the Mercedes e class sedans. Try driving a 2002 E55 around the track at Laguna Seca, see how that goes, you will feel good in the winners circle of life.

Not an expert in other models/makers. I own/drive a Mercedes CLK430. Solidly built machines. The E-Class MBZ from 1995 - 2003 (W210 chassis) is comfortable, spacious, has all the features youll need. The major negative is possible body panel rust due to Mercedes use of water-based paint in that era, the only caution. Market pricing still a bit high due to chip availability/pricing pressure for new cars (trickle-down impact on used cars).

Absolute best Mercedes Benz that has ever been made. Great on shirt and long distance drives. Maintenance is very minimal. I had one that went to 435k miles. Regret having to let her go. Looking for another one.

My weapon, love the power! Handling is not perfect, but pretty good for a big heavy car! Uses about the same amount of fuel as a 6 cylinder falcon until you get stuck into it.
