This one is a 2002 E-320 with around 150K

V6 is smooth as eggs.

Seats and interior are also incredible. With Navi

Cool! It's nice that you could just buy an older Merc like that because you know how to fix them/which one to buy.

every w210 I have looked at up here has spring perch rust. Or the V6 is on it's last legs. That one looks nice! Good color, options and paint!

*goes to parts shelf, looks around to see if no one's looking*

Like any car, it depends how the previous owner treated it. This one was babied pretty well but some might not be so lucky. The dealer I work at has a merc section. Employee pricing on parts and I was an ex tech so not too much to worry about on my end :]

I only have one S&M mistress ('99 E430), I see you have opted for double the pain (pleasure). Have some Velvet Underground, their song about S&M.

sh is now in driving school because my strict lessons were too much for her. Once she is out and gets her license, i'll hand her the keys and a thick book of expectations. Well still be under my name regardless.

lol which ever has the most fuel lol

I switch them around. I drove the Benz today. If it is going to rain hard I go with the truck since it floods here easy. Slick weather I go with some Quattro action. Regularly I'm in the E36. The original Merc I bought for my little sister but like I mentioned, she wrecked it. She is now in driving school and about to get her license. once she gets it i'll hand her the keys but it will be in my name regardless. I eventually want to sell everything and get something new and reliable with a good maintenance plan. I really like the new Carmy looks. A manual trans or V6 would be sweet. I like the utility of the Focus ST also. If I can get a good lease plan at work, a CLA or S60 is also possible.

No V60? Also, I would try and go for anything but the Camry, but if it's what works best for you, than do it!

I'm more of a V70 or XC70 guy lol. I drove the V60 around for a day. I didn't really feel it. It's a very good car, but just not for me :] I didn't know what the refresh to the Carmy would be like. I really like the direction the went. They did a good The interior is awesome. Focus ST is a great little car as well. Anything that isn't old and German basically lol. I've busted my ass on those thing for too long lol :] I guess i'm just growing up

"lol which ever has the most fuel lol"

That's totally what I do, haha

I drive one until it runs out of fuel. Then the next. Then the next. Then I have 3 cars with empty tanks and life sucks.

EL_ULY > Manuél Ferrari
04/17/2014 at 18:04

Yup, that's me all the time. All empty always lol :]

And the closest gas station to my house is 1.2 miles away with a ton of stop signs between it and my house. Good thing most cars still have some gas left when the gauge hits zero or I would have run out the other day when I left the house with the needle a tad below empty.

And congrats on the good Merc find. And thanks to your taco post the other day I remembered this place I hadn't been to in a while. Just ate these :)

Kinja'd!!!

Oh man I wish it wasn't only 3:30pm over here and that I had not got to work late today. A beer sounds really tasty right now. But that's at least 6 hours away for me, haha

Manuél Ferrari > EL_ULY
04/17/2014 at 18:31

I was so nervous that I took a wrong turn on the way there, even though I've taken that route hundreds of times and knew where I was going! The fear of running out made me second guess the route, haha
