The Mercedes E-Class is truly a phenomenal vehicle in Class and Value. The car provides exceptional comfort, MPG and quality at a great price.

1998 Mercedes E320 is the first year when the v6 engine was introduced to their model line up. So far, after driving this car for more than 260000 miles, I never had any major problem except for standard maintenance e.g. motor oil, brake pads, brake fluid, spark plugs, coolant, steering fluid, air conditioning fluid, tires, radiator, water pump. Although this may sound a lot, but these maintenance took place in the span of 15 years, except for the regular oil change. Even after the 265000 miles driven on this car, the engine still runs and sounds really quiet as if it has only 30000 miles on it. Even at this high mileage, the transmission still shift flawlessly. Reading at the manufacturer's recommendations, it was recommended that the transmission fluid can last a lifetime, but I did not follow this recommendation. I have to change the transmission fluid every 30000 miles.
