  • We'll take a look at this classic luxury sedan, the 2005 Mercedes-Benz E320 CDI. This diesel-powered car was the first of its kind to be sold in the United States since the 1990s and was even named the 2005 Green Car of the Year. With 165,000 miles on it, this car is a testament to the quality and durability of Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
    In this video, we take a close look at the car's interior and exterior features, including its classic dash, DVD navigation system, and moon roof. We also take it for a spin and test out its power and torque, which is impressive for a car of its age.
    If you're a fan of classic luxury sedans or just appreciate the quality and engineering of Mercedes-Benz vehicles, this video is for you. Don't miss out on this rare look at a piece of automotive history.
    If you wanna buy this car, it's still for sale

      ​@@BoringIsFunIt is pretty reliable and easy to maintain. Get yourself a fluid extractor pump (and a T30 socket to remove plastic cover) and changing the oil and filter is all accomplished without getting under the car in about 20 minutes.

    i daily a e320 cdi 4matic from late 2007, exceptional car in the snow (no rust), highway driving is a charm, sooo relaxing and has enough power when u need it. i changed the turbo actuator cuz it failed on me and the oil cooler rings started leaking so i had to change those also.
    they are prone to crack rear coils and front shocks, the pano roof is not the greatest....but! i love this car soo much, its the best ever, the design just flows, its gorgeous, a future classic

    I remember this car - I think it originally came with a wood grain steering wheel when first posted for sale. The dealer then took off that and I think the unusual wheels shown here and lowered the price $1000 or so

    I was lucky to find a really well taken care of 211, and I love it. Too many have been treated poorly over the years which I find very sad, as they really are lovely cars to drive. Like you said, really everything you need. I find that I drive it more than my newer Mercedes.

    I have two of these, and am going to buy another one, greatest drivetrain ever made, the car isn't bad either. One has 340,000 the other 260,000, minimal normal issues, if you catch them early they really aren't issues at all. Outstanding vehicles, and easy to work on if you are a DIYER. I also have an 04 sprinter with 275g and an 07 gl 320 OM642 with 276g

      Engine and trans are bulletproof with proper paint. Injector seals, ( Black Death) is one of the only real "problems" Dirty swirl flaps is another. If you go ahead and have them changed before leakage occurs, way easier and cheaper if you're not doing yourself. Of course you will have to change glow plugs, heater blower motors and normal wear and tear as you would any car.

    You couldn't buy a new 2005 CDI in California, as it did not meet Calif. emissions. I got mine used in Arizona, and was able to tag it in Calif.
    Still going strong with 275,000 miles. Love my CDI.

      The massaging front seats are only available with the genuine leather trimmed seating. Not available with MB Tex. Almost everyone describes the MB Tex as “leather”. Look at your door panels. If they are rippled, it is genuine leather (maybe massaging too). If they are smooth, MB Tex.

    There is a video with Jeremy Clarkson talking about all the automotive editors in the UK except one driving Jags. The other drove an E class. When he asked about repairs, the editor said I just do maintenance by the book from day one by the local dealership. Never have to worry about a thing.
