1994 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E420 review from North America
"Excellent car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
-Air Pump
-Flooded Engine
-Exhaust pipe went.
General comments?
I have had this car for almost a year now, and have minimal problems with it. The problems I have run into are to be expected on any car that is 13 years old.
Repairs on the E420 are expensive as to be expected for a mercedes, but I have found its reliability very high.
Acceleration below 80kms is a bit sluggish, but on the highway the car flys and has no problem passing, with plenty of power left over.
