1997 Mercedes-Benz E-Class 320 review from North America
"A hole in my wallet"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Everything under the sun; you name, it seems like every month something goes bad, whether it's a turn signal, glove box latch or bulbs...
General comments?
This is not the car for someone who does not like spending their life savings on maintaining it... You need really deep pockets to keep up with THIS baby... I guess hence the name Mercedes Benz...
Nice comfortable ride.
Transmission starting to go at 100k... everything else is great; the ride, the mileage on gas... only thing that sucks is the amount of money you have to shell out every time you fix the darn thing.
