I bought it last week for a good price. It is a mercedes benz E320. It has 106,000 miles on it. The car is loaded with alot of options like dual heated seats,bose stero,power sun roof,intergrated phone. 6 disc cd changer, dual power seats and head rests, power tilt and extruding steering wheel, there,s more just can,t think of right now. So what do you guy,s think of it. It has a 3.2 liter engine with a 5 speed auto trans.

Throw a set of 20s on it and she'll look nice. Looks like a nice car clean (no rust) car from MN. Congrats on the purchase. I bet the wife likes rolling in a BENZ. And with a 3.2 it shouldn't be too bad on gas.

^^ Thanks. Not sure how fast it goes. Had it up to 105 and it was still pulling pretty good. It beat the heck out of my buddy,s 3.8 bonnevile. The best part is it will get 32mpg on the highway. It was a minnesota car. There is no rust that is visble to most people. But i spotted it right away and talked him down because of it. It is in the rear under the tail light where it meats the bumper. The only way you can see it is by seeing the reflection on the chrome of the bumper. Im going to have it fixed in the next couple of weeks. Other than that the car is mint in and out.

The number usually signifies the size of the motor in the class. It is an e class 320 hence the motor is a 3.2. The original purchase price was $62,371 still have the window sticker from the previous owner. It,s not the fastest car by no means but it is faster than all the 3.8's,and 3.5's iv'e owned.

Not everything is about speed. Thats a nice car and it doesnt matter how fast it is. The speed limit is still the same. And Im willing to bet that the Mercedes gives a helluva better ride than your Beretta.

i gave $6800 for it. The berreta might be faster but i gurantee that the ride of my car is way better. I din't buy it to race it anyway. It cuts out at 130 mph according to road and track but i will never find out. I plan on adding the chrome trim rings around the headlights and tail lights. I might also get the chrome rims that came as an option for it.

It has a factory bose system in it and it hit's harder and sounds better than my lumina did with two kicker 10's in it. Im very happy with the car so far. If it turns out to be this good a year down the road i might buy a newer one for me to drive.

I have to agree with you there. I had a berreta with a 2.8 in it. Not a bad car by all means but this new one is ten times the car that was.

How could you take a berreta over a mercedes? I would rather drive my dodge caravan than have my old berreta back. It is a 2 door corsica. They were very good at cornering and weaving. How did you have a 3.8 was it custom they never offered it. Here is a list of all motors ever offered in a berreta including the cl,gt,gtu,gtz,indy,and Z26.
2.0L 4cyl 90 hp/108tq (1988-89)
2.8L V6 125 hp/160tq Auto (1988-89)
2.8L V6 130 hp/160tq 5-Speed (1989)
3.1L V6 135 hp/180tq (1990)
2.2L 4cyl 95 hp/120tq (1990-91)
2.3L Quad-4 180 hp/160tq (1990-92)
3.1L V6 140 hp/185tq (1991-92)
2.2L 4cyl 110 hp/130tq (1992-93)
2.3L 4cyl 175 hp/155tq (1993)
3100 V6 160 hp/185tq (1994)

2.2L 120hp/130tq I4 (1994-96)

^ Thanks. I looked at a couple of audi's with the 4.2 v-8. I also looked at a beemer that was a limited edition super charged model. He wanted a little too much for it so i went and bought the benz.

I hope you know how to fix it when it takes a crap on you. Parts being expensive is the understatement of the century. It's already got a lot of miles on it so hopefully it wasn't beat. It's a cool looking car none the less.

might have been a custom one. The parts are more but not that much it is going to break you.alternator is $40 more than i paid for the one in my van. It has 100,00 that is not very many miles. My lumina i just sold had 270,000 and still ran strong. According to consumer reports and other car testing companies 300-500 thousand miles is not uncommon with only minnimal repairs.

Nice Mercedes. I wouldnt mind rolling in something like that.
My only concern with that car would be when it breaks down, where are you going to find the parts to fix it and how expensive are they going to be?
Thats one of the nice things about owning an American car, parts are easy to find and are pretty inexpensive.
