I’ve literally never seen those wheels on any MB product. That’s a really cool option
My favorite option on it!!
Young brother. This is a well put together review!
New subscriber inbound!
Thank you!! Welcome aboard!
You are honestly my comfort UA-camr, always looking forward to new videos :-)
I appreciate that!! Good to see you around!
I watch car reviews as a hobby and your knowledge, pacing, and personality made this more engaging than most of the other solo-reviewers out there! So hard to do on your own; will definitely be back for more.
Ohh wow, thank you! I appreciate you watching!
Bern I love your reviews, this is a great summary of ownership. Keep making these videos sir.
Thank you I appreciate that!! I certainly will!
Australian built Holden Commodore, which you would know as the Chevy SS, comes in a wagon in Australia. Both manual and automatic, LS7 V8, and the top shelf trim comes with supercharger and all the fruit. There is also a ute version called the Malloo
Interesting yeah! I'd love to experience cars down there
@@BernonCars sadly we don't have any home grown any more.
Very curious to see what comes next! 👀
Im so excited for the reveal 🤩
Over here in Germany those things were taxis, so the scrap yards are FULL to the brim with spare parts - You can get an original Bilstein strut for 250 bucks. In Germany this car is a no-brainer. I will get one in a year (when my current leasing contract ends).
great video sir and the w211 e-class is also my favorite generation, especially the amg versions.
Thank you! Yeah the E55 is great
@@BernonCars reliability is what is keeping me away from getting one lol. the non-v8 4matic 350s are supposed to be better in terms of reliability.
Im sure, no airmatic! That’s one of the most expensive parts I think
@@BernonCars I would def keep away from Airmatic if I ever decided to get one lol. BTW in terms of apple car play and Android auto head-units, they do sell them and they will plug right into the stock harness and everything will continue working perfectly. I just got one for my 09 hyundai elantra wireless android auto and carplay.
I’m in love wit da wagons
Yessssirrrr
Definitely an cool wagon in an amazing spec. Hopefully it will do well on Cars and Bids. If I were a betting man, which I'm not, but if I was, I'd bet your next car will be something Swedish or Japanese. Keep up the great content mate
It sold on C&B thankfully!! LOL the next one will be revealed shortly haha
@@BernonCarshow much if you don’t mind me asking? I’m looking at a 2004 with 150,000 miles. Needs a good cleaning and has a king service history. May can get it for around $3,500
Mine sold for $7500!
@@BernonCars sounds like you did ok then! Even after money spent on repairs!
That’s dream family hauler right there. Those wheels are sick. I'd drive that for a lifetime, probably would have to replace the struts one by one yearly lol
It really was! LOL literally, always asking for money 😂
We had one as the family car from 116k to 275k miles. I budgeted an average $2k/year. Some years were easy, some cost $4k!
But it was the best car to take around the US--several times!
We're looking for another one again, because nothing else is quite as good!
Pretty good city MPG. I drive the same car with V6 and it’s hard to get better than 14 in the city. Also the wagon is technically the S211
Yeah right, decent! Ahh yes thanks for the note
At 8:00, the cup holders are in the end of the armrest. Press and they pop out, like the 3rd row (:
Ahhh I missed that!! Thank you!
Cup holders in the rear armrest
Anyone knows why some 320 petrols have muffles and some dont? Is this always aftermarket ?
16MPG for a V8 wagon in city is insanely high!
Yeah right!! I was impressed! I’m used to my 12-13MPG guzzlers 😂
They actually used the entire chassis from the W210 E Class to underpin the Chrysler 300, Charger, and Magnum wagon. But whose counting..
Ha, yeah right
For folding the seats, the drivers seat is supposed to automatically push forward when you engage the tab to pull down the rear seat back. Maybe that’s something that the earlier cars didn’t have. Is this an 03-05?
Interesting! Yeah mine is an 04!
@@BernonCars interesting oversight by Mercedes but shows they were always improving their models.
I also have this exact same model and my driver seat does move forward when folding the seats. You may have a sensor malfunction if yours doesn't automatically move the drivers seat.
Mine is 2 wheel drive with the beautiful blue glass they make
Nice very proper looking!
Bern, you cant keep doin this to us! First Casper now this?
LOL! I think a lot of people will be pleased with my next purchase!! 😂
@@BernonCars Im exctied to see whats next!
16mpg around town is what I also get in my highly modified 2005 E55 wagon.
Interesting! Sounds like a beast LOL
Have 2004 e 320 same colour ( great on fuel ⛽️ 👏 " classy car people like )
Its a pretty color!
Looking at maybe buying an E500 wagon with 150,000 miles for around $3,500. Needs some tlc and was told air ride already switched to shocks and struts
For $3500 thats not too bad
@@BernonCars getting it for $3,100 and has the air shocks replaced with regular. So no worries on that. 150,000 miles. Main thing is the front seats need some attention
@@jcritter9295 not bad!!! I’d say you made out pretty well for 31!
@@BernonCars getting it Saturday. It’s been clapped out so I have some cleaning to do and remove some tacky stuff that was put on the car from the previous owner. Still, cheap enough to play with the car a little.
Damn had i known about this wagon earlier i would of made a bid with it. I drive a ml 500 with the same engine and trans its bullet proof and i said to my self if i can find a good e500 id buy it T_T
Damnnn ripppp 😭
You better get us a cool car next 🤭
I don’t think you’ll be disappointed 🤠
Sad to see this one go 😭
Bittersweet!
engine is SOHC, not DOHC. Great car btw.
Thank you for the note!
