info apie e500 w211:

Citata:
I bought the car for my wife expecting a nice car good reliability. The car was a nice car up to the lot where I sold it. The list below does not include 4 sets of tires for cupping/alignment/caster bolts. It does not include belts 3 sets of brake pads or rotors. On a 1 to 10 scale for reliability I would rate this car a 1 being lowest of any car I owned. IF the car had NO SBC brakes or air suspension it would have been more reliable. I felt after owning and maintaining for 10 yrs I felt that MB sold me a bill of goods on reliability on this car. IT totally failed my expectations based on the number of times I was away from home, had to tow or find a repair shop in a small town and the high cost to maintain. The local dealer however was excellend probably because they had so much practice.

I bought a New Chrysler 300C 5.7 hemi great car. No SBC NO air supsension,, just very smooth and power. If IT doesn't turn our reliable I can buy another and still will have spent less than my E500. IT is truly unfortunate that MB sold me this car as I had planned a S550 for the future but I will probably never buy another MB.

Bought car 2/14/2004 Drove out of show room.
