Used 2005 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E 500 for Sale near Houston, TX

What I like about this car is its handling which is second to none in the class of cars. The car is very quick when you need to get going on freeways and such. Very quiet inside cabin at cruising speed of 70. Great sound system, and safety features are great.

A car of the family, the '05 E500 is one of the most comfortable highway cruisers I have ever driven. But put your foot down and it turns into a ferocious beast with its 5.0 L V8 boasting 302 HP and 339 lb./ft. torque, this thing will snap your neck off. The wheels break loose almost too easily when you want them to and you can step the back out quite a bit before the ESP turns off the power. Standard: Silver over silver perf. leather, MB Air Suspension with 3 modes (Comfort, Sport I, Sport II). Options include the sunroof pkg. (electric rear blind + window blinds), HK sound system w/in-dash pop-out 6-Disc CD Changer, Aux. input, weatherband, 4-zone climate.

Excellent vehicle for long trips. Fast, reliable car with great gas milage. But once a year it needs maintenance that usually costs $1000 per visit to the dealer if nothing is wrong. Mercedes headquarters will not back an owner if a dispute arises involving a warrantee claim.

The Mercedes is quite a fun car, but Mercedes should have tuned the 5.0L for more than 303 hp. Its starting to appear a little bit dated, and making me want to give it the 2007 facelift. Nice braking, 4-matic makes it easy to drive. The Airmatic and the 20s tend to make it a little numb when pushing it in the corners. The ESP inserts itself flawlessly when it is needed. Decent mileage for the engine size, good power, but like I mentioned, some V6s are being produced with more power, Mercedes Tax applied to EVERYTHING.

I love my E500 great power/speed. You have the luxury when needed. Great overall car. Just have to do your routine maintenance of normal wear and tear parts. If not it will break down. Certain parts are designed to eventually wear out because of the high speeds.
