Mercedes-Benz E-Class Saloon (2002 - 2008) E320 Avantgarde 4d Auto (2003/03) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Hopefully, it indicates reliability.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Have never asked them.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Recently, I looked for an 09 Reg of the same shape, but with only 73K miles I decided to keep my present model.

What are you likely to buy next?

Another Mercedes.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchised

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£22,500

When did you buy the car?

December 2005

Did you get a good deal and why?

I was happy with the trade-in, and drove away very delighted. The car met all of my expectations.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

My 5th Mercedes, and I love them! This model had low milage, and lots of desirable features; powerful, comfortable and Panaramic sun-roof.

What was the dealer like?

Very accomodating; brought the vehicle in from another dealer in their franchise to save me the trouble.No pressure for this service.

What's it like to drive?

Excellent! This Avantgarde model has a firmer sporty suspension, so cornering is very good for a large car, and motorway driving is a dream.

What's it like to park?

Easy. Very good turning circle. As with all vehicles on full lock, must take care not to scuff tyres.

Have you had any problems with the car?

A smile! Other than wear and tear, an exhaust bracket became loose, so was repaired by an independent garage, as Mercedes would have replaced the exhaust system.

What's most practical about your car?

Good build, and great reliability.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Love the Panaramic roof. Big boot with back seat folding facility.
