Re: [MBZ] Quite ambitious -- 2005 Mercedes-Benz e-class E 320 4MATIC Wagon 4D, $5, 600

The W211 wagons are pretty much the pinnacle for MB wagons in my mind, 
especially if you can find a nice E500 version. They *are* more complex and 
require an SDS system to maintain them if you’re going to do anything of 
significance. That’s not to scare you, just to help you understand that 
diagnostics are difficult, at best, without one.

Nice cars, though. If I was looking for another wagon I would definitely focus 
on a W211 wagon. The tough part is that they didn’t make a lot of them so they 
can be difficult to find. As a result they command higher prices than their 
sedan counterparts.

I drove a loaner 2005 E500 a friend had. He had spent several thousand dollars 
on struts.  I read about some issue with the radiator that blows up and trashes 
the transmission.  I loved driving it. I’m sure the joy had a lot to do with 
the V8.

Not bad at all. I love the W211 wagons, but they’re not terribly common and 
often command a premium.
