What things have gone wrong with the car?

Serviced regularly by Mercedes-Benz dealers.

Remember something about timing belt.

Car rarely used, but don't recall anything ever going wrong.

General comments?

Very comfortable.

Extremely well built.

Strong.

Engine a little lacking, but still capable.

Dealers pleasant.

Mercedes through and through (not just to the paintwork)

Pre 1988 E200 and E230 cars had a timing chain that HAD to be replaced at least every 60,000miles and required an oil change every 3,000 miles. Post 1988 cars had a 'duplex' chain that only requires replacement when the engine starts to become rattly. The MB logo is a star and not an arrow!!
