Look at the detailed photos of this car and you’ll feel as though you were viewing a brand new Mercedes Benz E320 on the showroom floor. Go ahead…scroll down and see for yourself… With continued care, owning this fine automobile will make you feel that way every time you see and drive it. With the average car's lifespan being about a dozen years and the attrition rate often accelerated by careless, second-hand owners, it'd be a nice surprise to find a Mercedes that, despite being nearly a dozen years old, still shines and sparkles like a late-model. The most likely place to unearth such a rare gem would be Southern California, with its mild climate and large number of affluent, luxury car enthusiasts. Such an amazing find is the miraculously well-preserved car presented for auction here! For the past 5 years, this E320 has been owned by a mature executive in the affluent suburbs of Orange County, CA who treated it like his one and only child. The result is a luxury sedan that was always garaged; meticulously maintained and has never left the Golden State. Let's have a closer look. Exterior: After over a decade on the road, most cars have become rusty, faded and damaged. In reality, an immaculate, garaged, rust free body and finish with a couple VERY MINOR door dings, chips, scuffs and scratches, is a very rare and highly desirable trait of any decade-old automobile! In this case, what lies beyond the shiny exterior speaks volumes about the loving care this Benz has always received and underscores the car's Southern California provenance. Surveying straight and smooth coachwork, we marvel at how well the finish was preserved over the years. The CLK-inspired front end is tapered with a low hoodline, raked-back dual headlamps and seamlessly integrated bumpers. Along the sides, exterior mirrors have integrated turn signals... ...and trim is body-colored. For a more modern, sportier look and ride, 18” Mercedes CL500 Factory Alloy Wheels and Newer Goodyear F1 Radial Tires were fitted. Road handling is improved and wheel detail is amazing. Speaking of detail, let us stress how straight the body is, how sparkling the chrome, how glossy the paint: if you wouldn't know differently, you'd think to be looking at a 11-month old, not a 11-year old car. This one is that clean! We'll inspect the interior next, shall we? Always garaged and never smoked in, the supple, leather seats are still soft, the carpet appears untouched and the wood trim is pristine. The luxurious cabin has extensive room and styling. All of the expected amenities of a premium luxury automobile are found inside. With comfortable seating for 5, the seats are firm and supportive with plenty of head and leg room fore and aft. Both front seats are power-adjustable by means of simple iconic switches, and have three-position memory. As is the contemporary custom, the rear seat is contoured for two, with space for a central passenger. Floor heat and console air conditioning vents ensure comfort. And there are pleasant extras, like the standard dual-level console box, with an air-conditioned lower section to keep a cell phone or small grocery items cool. The short, sloped top of the instrument panel reduces glare, and the firmly-padded, supportive seats reduce fatigue. The driver is further aided by a steering wheel power-adjustable for tilt and reach, with auxiliary control buttons for audio, cell phone, and trip computer systems. TeleAid is also a standard service and can put you in touch with emergency personnel if your airbags deploy or if you suffer a sudden medical problem. Also new for 2001, the two-way, glass sunroof features one-touch opening. The dual, automatic climate control system blows ICE COLD. Set it and forget it. All instruments and switches work flawlessly and the AM/FM audio system with 6-disk CD changer (in the trunk) guarantees pleasurable audio, even when traveling at speeds well above the double nickel. The original Owner’s Manual and literature in a leatherette pouch resides in the glove box. The wood trim is flawless throughout… Cigarette lighter has never seen use. In short, everything looks, smells, feels and operates as if the car was delivered yesterday, not 11 years ago. The spacious trunk contains all the important bits; spare wheel/tire, jack & lug wrench (never used)… ...and 6-disk CD changer. A picture says more than a thousand words: this all original trunk is clean! Engine & Mechanical: The car's engine compartment is all original, factory-correct, down to the decals and markings. The V-6 engine always runs cool with no oil leaks and properly maintained, can be driven well over 250,000 without needing major work. All the major services were performed and recently, a major tune up was performed, oil and filters changed and brakes were replaced. In short, no wear item has been left unattended. As a result, this E320 is mechanically as strong as it is cosmetically. Yes, any Mercedes can be a very tough and reliable automobile with a bit of preventative maintenance! The E320 Drivability Features: The E320 Sedan comes equipped with a strong 3.2-liter V6 engine making 221 horsepower and capable of propelling the car from a standstill to 60 mph in 7 to 8 seconds. In addition to TeleAid, E-Class comes with a full roster of standard safety equipment. Antilock brakes with brake assist, traction control and stability control keep the E-Class going safely and securely in the direction in which it's pointed. The E320’s bullet proof, V-6 engine with 5-speed automatic transmission has amazing power and still gets over 25MPG on the highway. Automotive enthusiasts rave about the controlled handling and blissful ride of the E-Class, two qualities that the BMW 5 couldn't say in the same sentence. Although it is primarily a luxury car, the E320 is a contemporary Mercedes-Benz luxury car. So it combines quiet comfort and very good roadholding in a civilized manner. Occupants are insulated from road shocks, but the driver is not isolated from control inputs and feedback. The fully-independent suspension is compliant enough for long-distance comfort, but controlled enough for spirited driving. The E320 just may be the best of the class for American real-world conditions. With 221 horsepower at 5500 rpm and 232 lb-ft of torque between 3000 and 4600 rpm, the E320's namesake 3.2-liter V6 moves the car plenty quickly. Low and midrange torque is far better than the old inline six, and feels almost as strong as the V8-powered E430. Like all current Mercedes-Benz engines, the E320's has three valves and twin spark plugs per cylinder, an unusual design chosen for its relatively economical operation and good fuel economy. For 2001 and newer models, the transmission is an electronically-controlled five-speed automatic with the "Touch Shift" manual shift mode. Adaptive shift logic usually chooses the correct gear for any driving style and condition, but the Touch Shift is good for bring out the E320's sports side on an interesting road. The powerful, V6 engine starts every time, idles, revs and pulls effortlessly without unusual noises or hesitation and accelerates strong and smooth leaving no smoke in your rear-view mirror. Power steering is precise and the 5-speed, automatic transmission shifts seamlessly. The newer 4-wheel disk brakes with ABS anchor the car securely, in a straight line, and without any hint of fading. Throwing this E320 through the curves aided by newer, 18” Wheels and Radials, the ride is more firm, handling and braking are superb with no rattles, shakes, shimmies or pulls. All in all, this Benz is a thoroughly convincing performer and a joy to drive! With only 106,457 meticulously maintained miles, this car is perfectly reliable and ready to be driven anywhere, even across the Country, if that's where you live. Pound for pound, the Mercedes E-Class is among the finest, most reliable luxury sedans ever made. In the end, what makes these cars so desirable is the strong character. This results from a combination of heritage, styling and engineering. No other cars at affordable prices generate the same passion as the Mercedes E320 and few PRACTICAL cars top it at ANY price. Finally, with an original MSRP of over $48,000, the 1994-2002 series E-Class has reached the bottom-end of the depreciation curve…A perfect time to buy. Being one of the last of this series, this E320 is an outstanding investment that will easily serve as a reliable daily driver. To make things even better, reasonably priced spare parts and service are readily available. To state it succinctly: This E320 will deliver on its promise!
