2003 Mercedes Benz E320 Review and Test Drive by Bill Auto Europa Naples 

Give us an update, did you get it in shape?

@@cloudlight9784 yesss she's great, can always find something wrong with her (it is a 20 year old car) but all in all everyday driving is a joy and shes not let me down so far

​@@kairi I've been thinking of getting one or maybe the 500 but you say it's been solid so far. Thanks 👍🏽

Haha Same for me

BNE twinsssss🤩

Your gonna love how benz drives also the looks i have an 1998 e320. Wit 163k miles

I have a newer E350 but I worked hard for it..

M&N Distribution congrats bro, proud of you that you “worked hard” for it, just don’t rub it in people’s faces.

I'm sorry for your luck. Used Mercedes is reliable if it was being well maintained.

Hi KR 92, My brother has a 2003 Mercedes-Benz E320 like the one Bill reviewed. Yes, it's almost 17 years old. My brother's car has over 300,000 miles on his, and his E-class is reliable no rattles no squeaks. However, he takes excellent care of his vehicles, and he will be giving the E320 to his teenage son as his first vehicle. My nephew is lucky, and I am curious to see how long the 2003 E320 will last him if he takes care of it like my brother?

El Numerico won’t last another 30-50k miles but an easy engine swap will do really nice cars I have a e350 and e55 AmG and let me tell you I drive both e350 2013 and my e55 is 07 love the shit out of Mercedes

Good currency speaks. I’m from malaysia, got an E240 for 25k ringgit, spent another 30k repairing it 😂😂

Oh yes, since I bought an 03 car as my first one, I learnt a lot about many things, mechanics, electricals, etc.

@Colt Jonas really are you a bot cuzzz if that works ima try it

@@palwanalnakeeb4120 LOL

Tamás Raduly I like the darker wood option very nice looking on this car

dqwaszx this car is about 5 grand. It's not too much. Idk how much he sold it for but anything over 5.5-6.0 is too much for it

Tyler Marlatt I bought mine for $1500 and is in the same condition as the one in the video

It cost 1000€-1500€

Sky mask it’s way more than that my grandma has a mercedes E300 and it’s for 40,000

@@Misskaye82 she have a 2021 or what? I just bought an e320 last night in amazing condition for 2,000 and drove it across texas back home.

it was very good i did ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6T6TzvG-V68.html

I own exactly the same too, I rebuilt my transmission a couple of days ago

How many miles did you get yours for?

I have the exact same car but ONE headlight does not work after checking the bulb for the inspection! Any advice on headlights?

@@natashajames8036 replace bulb

Haw much

If you go back and have another listen, he did say they show people the spare is under that inner cover.

John I purchased 2002 e320 2 years ago a 1 owner very cheap Cosmetically it was rough on the outside but mechanical near purrfect What a great car I do long hi speed drives in remote rural Western Australia a superb long distance tourer I have invested a few bucks and she looks very tidy

Aussie here, too. About to buy a 2003 E320 Elegance, 51500 k's!!! I (almost) feel immoral paying the old guy just $6k.

As reliable as a Camry just needs love. Take care of these cars and they’ll take care of you

in a bit I’ll pick up a 03 with 186k for $900 with some easy fix suspension issues

no kidding, I bought my '02 Jeep in 2015 with 76k miles on it from an old retired couple, the thing was in excellent shape, I have 118k on it now and have mostly just done regular maintenance.

One of the best parts about living in a retirement city/town is being able to find older cars that have been maintained so well by their owners that are older. If you look good enough you can find some cream puffs for a lower than normal price.

does your car have a aux cord input for music?

Did you get it?

@@studded8054 Nope. That car was a bit old for how much it was. I looked at an 06 E350 wagon which I loved, other than the fact that it had crappy repairs and smelled bad. I also looked at an 09 E350 sedan, which was great, but I didn’t really need. (There was also an 04 E320 wagon but it got away sadly…)

@@sethsteener Unfortunate

Mr. Cairo I had a W210 when I was 17 as my first car and just got a W209 last year and that’s my current car. I’m 24 now

Mr. Cairo the sbc has a recall and they’ll replace it for free now

@@kwoods3379 not in other countries tho. In Malaysia at least there's the E200 Kompressor variant for the facelift. I know in the States the facelift starts from the E350 and the 3.5 V6 motor isn't free from balancing shaft problems.

i got W211 E320CDI

2007-2009 have none of those problems. They refurbished it to perfection you can often see them selling in eu with 600-700 thousand kilometers with an engine still in good shape. Taxy drivers often cross a million km mark which very few models can achieve. Just regular maintenance and good care, this car can last for decades, I plan to give this one to my son when he turns 18 in 4 years and hes gonna probably drive it for 5 years if not more. I got e280 2008 year 7tronic btw. Probably tge best purchase of my life. Early years were problematic I agree on that, a lot of faulty shit on them

Damn. Those transmissions are bullet proof.

how do you find it?

Was it worth it? What did you pay? What’s the mileage on yours?? I’m looking at one rn I’m also 21 and just now got my license

@@jacobtaylor3212 for me I would advise you to shun away from one of these if legroom is your priority. I came from a W210 and really the W211 screams tightness. You may also have to spend a bit of money to upgrade your stereo system because obviously a car from this age doesn't have Bluetooth, hence I have CDs mounted into my CD changer which failed when I fully occupied all 6 slots. But as long as fast speeds is illegal, the W211 does 140km/h (I'm from Asia hence I use km/h) without any drama. No noise, no signs of instability, just getting you to your destination with the calmest of all attitudes out there. The climate control's pretty cooling too, and the stereo is still going strong for a 17 year old car. Ye mine is a '03 example.

@@jacobtaylor3212 but the 5GTRONIC gearbox shifts really slowly in Winter/Comfort mode, and Summer/Sports mode makes my E240 2.6 feel a bit too responsive on throttle. I don't understand why there isn't something like normal mode. In w/c mode it hangs at an rpm for a long time before upshifting. Even my previous 4th gen Maxima had a better transmission.

i just got one to

Pam was a little bit off she was late walking her dog

@@cherkas009 is she still around? Greetings

Next time you need to buy a car Walk with a pre purchase inspection list. Do some research and know what you need first. Know what the deal breakers are and learn to walk away from a bad deal. Know the value, if you do these things you will be happy with your next car

​@@newtonraymond77 I have NOT found an owners' manual for the E320 4dr Sedan yet!!

​@@natashajames8036 If you have a W211, try the rear seat centre armrest; pull out the tray and you may find it there.

They can go up to 300 not recommended that you keep it going after 3 but really easy cars to work on Espically the older ones like this one very reliable. Trust me buddy these ain’t money pits like bmw

@@mercedesbenz9635 "not reccomended to go over 300k" ... by whom? that is utter nonsense. these cars are popular as taxis in many parts of the world and many of them are still running well over 300k.

I've seen that same M112 3.2 V6 in ML 320's with 4-500K miles on them..

Times 10

buy a Kia fo dat

$5,500.00

Angi Sinner wtf

I had to put a kill switch on my battery because it was dried my battery dead after 2 hours not sure what was drawing the battery but something

Front passenger ball joint just went out $300 and it's fixed

Is that the SAM in trunk

@@angisinner2285 ,Its should be in truck about a foot away from the battery. Check the module and might have to change the wire going to the module. You got a good deal 500 dollars for a running and driving car is a steal.

nah

What about 280 ?

Why pass on the e320?

@@randomemail3936 exactly. Ofc there's the SBC but then the engine is good, the gearbox is OK if you change your gearbox fluid on time.

all the mechanics I have spoken to who work on this car say the complete opposite of your statement the 2006 e350 avoid like the plague

@@sixfoursoul2538 yeah… first year M272 is a bit iffy.

Yes. 200cdi, 220cdi, 270cdi, 320cdi and 400cdi.

@@formatique_arschloch 420 cdi *

Finna? 🙄🙄

That's because in America the cops shoot because they always fear for their lives, you need to be able to defend yourself against the scared trigger happy ones

In what state??
