I own this car - My approximate mileage is 143,000

Pros: "Drive one and you will see!"

Cons: "mpg low and no cup holders"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"Mercedes continues to prove itself time and time again. I"m the third owner of this vehicle. Yes, it has been expensive to up keep all these years as per the previous records and when I purchased it I had to put 3k into it to have it perfect! The ratings tell the whole story but between you and me these cars should be purchased as a second hand car. The MSRP is way too high as many cars today are. This car does many things that most current cars can't. Once you are in it you feel SAFE! Its so comfortable that you can drive for hours before ever needing a break. It loves the highway and keeps up easily with all those econo boxes out there. All family members have plenty of room and each time someone rides in my wagon they always compliment the ride. This is a wise choice when it comes to wagons, but realize that Mercedes do cost a pretty penny to keep on the road and the older they get the more repairs are needed. But, when you keep up with all that needs to be done you have one HECK of a vehicle. I"m so happy with my recent purchase I"m trying to convince family members to purchase older Mercedes to share the pleasurable experience. Hope this write up helps. Happy Motoring"

Great Car

By Sonny (Hampton, VA) on Tuesday, June 01, 2010

"I have owned my teal colored wagon for 12 years. I purchased it from my brother-in-law in 1998 and it had 98,000 miles on it. It currently has 314,000 miles and rides better than my 2007 Toyota Camry. I love it's style and reliability. Parts are expensive but performance is amazing. This car originally sold for $58,000 in 1991. It was worth it!!!!! My mechanic, who is German, said this model was best mercedes made."

Best Island Car

By boater (Newport, RI) on Sunday, February 07, 2010

"smooth driving and quiet engine! One of the finest vehicles ever owned! Mercedes did a beautiful job engineering this one, lesser brands still have not been able to achieve what Mercedes had 20 years ago!"
