This is a really nice 1995 E320 wagon that has been in California all its life. It was bought new by an older lady in Los Angeles. She kept the car for just over 11 years and put only about 35,000 miles on it in that time. Her daughter acquired the car in 2007 and it has been in the Bakersfield area since then. This car was built in September of 1995; making it one of the last w224 cars to be built. This was also the last year of any U.S. model Mercedes wagon until 1998. Unfortunately, 1998 was also the first year Mercedes began using the new V6 motor. So, 1995 was the last year Mercedes made a wagon with the better in-line 6-cylinder motor. Since a new body style was introduced for 1996, this was also the last of the over-engineered E-Class cars. Just like the 1993 190-Class, the 1999 S-Class, and the 2002 SL-class, this car was the last of its kind, and they truly don't build them like they used to. By Mercedes' own admission, they do not over-engineer these cars any more. This car is the last of the best. This car has as much cargo space as a mid-size SUV with the middle and rear seats folded. It has the third row seat which makes it a true 7 passenger vehicle. However, the back seat is best for kids or adults you don't like. It has a cargo cover to hide items in the back and a cargo net that can be used as a divider with the rear seats up or when they are folded. It also has a luggage rack, complete with the cross bars. All that combined with the self-leveling rear suspension makes this car really versatile. Please look at all the pictures carefully and click this link www.flickr.com/photos/52056855@N05 for many additional pictures. There are over 60 in all. The bad: There is a small oil leak that leaves a pea to dime-size drop on the ground over night. It looks like it is coming from the front of the engine; maybe around the timing chain cover. The left rear floor mat is missing. One of the wheels has some curb rash (see pictures). There are a couple of dings on the tailgate (see pictures). There is a ding at the bottom of the left quarter panel that caused about a 3/4" crack in the paint along the bottom edge (see pictures). The lower panel on the right rear door has some light scratches (see pictures). The rocker panel on the left side has some scratches (see pictures). The right rear door had a scrape at the top that has been filled with touch-up paint (see pictures). There is a scrape over the right rear wheel that has been filled with touch-up paint (see pictures). The driver's window regulator will need to be replaced soon as it stops about 1/8" short at the top of its travel and makes a clicking noise. The left rear window regulator probably needs to be replaced soon. It is making a noise. As of 3 days ago, the air conditioning stopped being cold when the car is idling in direct sunlight. It gets very cold at all other times. The left tail light has a crack in it that has been repaired (see pictures). The radio is an after market CD unit that cannot be turned off. However, you can turn down the volume all the way or remove the face plate if you don't want to hear it. The good: It has very low 59K miles. It has a clean CARFAX (see pictures). The car has its original paint except for the bumpers, which were repainted. There is no Armor All in any of the pictures except on the tires. Many cars on ebay are dressed up with shiny products that hide imperfections. What you see in these pictures is exactly what you are getting. The MB-Tex interior is near perfect. The engine runs smooth and perfect. The transmission shifts correctly. Shifts are not too hard and not too soft. The brakes feel good and it stops straight. There are no cracks in the dash. The tires are in good condition. The climate control system, sunroof, antenna, tailgate closing assist, wipers front and rear, all lights, turn signals, horn, power locks, and the power seats including the headrests are all working properly. The car runs and drives as if it was brand new. There is no vibration, shimmy, pulling to one side or anything else. These cars were known to have faulty wiring harnesses, which is a very expensive fix. I have a receipt showing the one in this car has been replaced with the updated unit. If you have any questions, send me an email or call (661) 205-2420. You are welcome to test drive any time during the auction. The car is located in Bakersfield, which is about 100 miles north of downtown Los Angeles. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding!
