2004 Mercedes-Benz E500 Estate (Wagon) : Oldie But Goodie !

Exterior and interior shots of the 5-year-old Mercedes-Benz E-Klasse/Class E500 Estate (or Wagon). Has the distinctive E-Class 4-headlamp set. Rounded edges and curves still abound here, unlike in the 2010 models, with their more aggressive angles. Only thing that needs improvement is the low-placed COMAND nav/audio screen (sits higher on dash in current models).

Some footage a bit blurry - apologies for that - Vado picture not very clear in zoom mode.

Ambient sounds retained. Note that shot much later in the vid - you can see and hear the fat raindrops coming down heavily - but that 'downpour' lasted literally some 15 seconds, after which the rain just stopped suddenly !

i saw a sedan w/ 100k for $13.5k should i buy?

I'd first find out the Blue Book value for that sedan model and that year with that mileage. What condition is it in? If it was mostly long distance driving, the 100K miles are 'good' miles, then.

@mariandelochs it looks to be in mint condition. it's for sale in a dealer lot so who knows what kind of driving the person did. I would guess that a car with a 100k mi in 7yrs must be highway right?(its an 04 like yours)

I'd test drive it first of all. It's an E (350? V6?) 4Matic, i presume? I really love the great handling and safety features on my E500. Have a trusted mechanic (if you know one) come with you when you test drive it and look it over. The dealer will have prepped it to like-new condition, of course. Find out car's history, too. (Consumer Reports offers that service on used cars for a reasonable fee, I think). Blue Book retail value would also depend on the features that come...

...with the car, and the zip code of the place you're buying it in.  WIth the default values on such a car in the Blue Book website, I get $16K as suggested retail value. FInd out the Blue Book value for a good price guide - just Google 'Blue Book' and 'Mercedes ----- (whatever year model, etc. it is)'.

21 MPG for a 5.0L V8 wagon..not bad! You have a beautiful car, man.

[mariandelochs]

The unit is only going for $16.5 K? Sounds like it was used very little. Mine has over 100k miles.
