  • A great alternative to a SUV - 1999 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
    By -

    We recently added twins to the family. Something reasonably comfortable and efficient was called for. Minivans were absolutely out of the question and SUVs, well, they dont handle all that well after all, do they? The E320 Estate seemed the perfect solution. We havent been let down.

  • 1999 M/B E320AWD - 1999 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
    By -

    great, solid m/b feel. wonderful steering, brakes, ride. respectable fuel economy. spectacular turning radius. cute compartment under phone to keep food/drink hot or cold-- vented. phone difficult to program. surprising problems with transmission at 16K miles and horn blew out. ignition switch tends to not release key.

  • Great Family Car - 1999 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
    By -

    Best car I ever owned. Comfort, styling, performance, fuel economy, saftey, and reliability all top notch. Price tag well worth it as I will drive this car at least 10 years and overall cost of ownership will ultimately be less than lesser priced and lesser quality cars.

  • MB E430 Sport - 1999 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
    By -

    I find the car to be very well put together and the performance has been a very pleasant surprise. The design of the E430 Sport has lines that distinguishes it from the other E-Class cars, but doesnt change the cars distinct E-Class looks.

  • Outstanding Mercedes! - 1999 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
    By -

    Just turned 140,000 miles. Fabulous car, super reliable. The key to buying a great used MB is the service history. I have had many MB products, history is everything. If you buy from Sam and Louie down at the corner and no one knows anything other then the price...well good luck. This is one of the best cars built by Benz. 10yrs and 140k and she still looks and drives great. No repetitive issues, replaced crank sensor (about $250) just that and normal service. I highly reccomed these cars....but know its history!

  • Solid choice - 1999 Mercedes-Benz E-Class

    1999 E430 with 130000miles. Cars drives like a dream and performs very well especially for a car of this weight. I get 23-26mpg and enjoy using my right foot... Paid just under 8k for the car 1 year ago and have only spent $300 on repairs (crank shaft sensor). Fun to drive, reliable, safe as hell, inexpensive, classic and able to take this car anywhere make it a winner in my book. Hands down my favorite car out of the 5 Mercedes that I have owned.

  • Favorite car Ive ever owned - 1999 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
    By -

    I bought this car at 58K miles a few years ago. Yes Ive had to put some $ into it, (belt pulley, spring housing, alternator, fuel pump, O2 sensor, and it went through a major light bulb replacement phase) but I have to say that I love the car. Neighbor owns a repair shop that specializes in high- line foreign cars, so any time I notice anything out of sorts I send it to work for the day with him. It is now at 121K and still runs like a top. Im fairly certain that I can get another 120K out of it (unless my neighbor retires). I hope they are still building the 2010 E-Class like they did in 99... Hoping I can pick one of those up in a few years.

  • Very nice car - 1999 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
    By -

    Bought used "E430 sport model" on ebay. 44K miles. Drove it home. I regularly take 2K+ mile business trips up and down the east coast. I love it. Excellent build (not quite as good as my old 126, but still very nice). Very fast, but not obnoxiously so. Great sound system, excellent AC, handles well, stops well, cleans up nicely. I would buy another.

  • E320 - 1999 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
    By -

    Outstanding performance and reliability. Quick and easy to handle in traffic. Great turning radius. Brakes are smooth and solid. The silver color shows no dirt or dust. Truly a fine Mercedes Benz.

  • 1999 E320 - 1999 Mercedes-Benz E-Class

    I expected to have issues with a 7 year old car but it has been excellent. I drove it 23,000 miles this year (hwyway and in town) without an problems. I had one catyltic converter replaced under warranty. I had a two dash light bulbs burn out but the dealer sells the tools to quickly remove the a/c and speedo units so I did it myself for $30. The head light lenses need to be buffed out ($75) and it would look much newer than a 99. It uses oil, but MB says to expect a quart every 625 miles but it does much better, around 2000 miles. I am not totally sold that 0W40 mobile one is exactly right for this car even though that is the MB recommendation.
