Used 2003 Mercedes-Benz E-Class for Sale near Cincinnati, OH

Good acceleration, spongy braking, steering feels disconnected

Absolutely love the car. Could use more power. 500hp isnt enough. Cost of ownership is kind of high, but well worth the car. Twisties, straight line, braking, and ride performance is fantastic. My dream car. Every time i get in the car, a drive is an event.

the braking is aweasome, very beautiful car and so quiet inside. If you drive 120 km/h its the same as driving at 80 km/h. Love the sound system. But i used to have a problem with the Air Condition. Overall its a good car, and it never brokedown on me.

Like other cars, get it serviced by a specialist - not at the dealer and it is cheap to keep. Unless you abuse it - like any other car. Average service with Mobil 1 oil change with filter, new cabin filter, tires rotated and safety checked costs about $205 all in. Does not break down like other cars. Built like a tank and handles like a Porsche at the same time getting excellent fuel mileage.

We purchased our 03 E320 Certified Preowned in 2006, as it came off a lease. I cannot overstate to value-added of the MB certification process and warranty...plus the savings of letting the first owner (who put on less than 12k per/year) pay for the depreciation. The car maintains it's style even today in 2009, drives wonderfully, and our cost of operation has been very low. At 70k we needed a brake job on the front...$500+...but other than that, nothing beyond the routine maintenance. We find this to be the best family auto we've ever owned, and will replace it at some point with another E-Class. Great automobile this...not just a car!
