Father of my best primary school friend had a fully loaded one and we went to the swimming pool one day. He worked for a big german steel company. I still remember this ride in the leather back seat. So different to what all other parents drove in Germany in the 90s.
1997 E320 this is a 1997 Mercedes E320 there are two versions the e300 Diesel and the E320 I mean the oval shaped lights and this is the w210 chassis it is a black exterior with gray leather interior let's see what she's got under the hood and under the hood is the m104 3.2 l inline 6 cylinder the 3.2 l inline 6 cylinder in 1998 it was being replaced by a V6 in the end in 1998 it is a one owner car you do have six cylinder power
I just got a '98 with 285k mi. for $2100, salvaged. But well taken care of and probably garaged. For $2k and the condition, I don't care what haters say. Even driving it for a few years is a win.
My uncle (a Bishop who literally did just drive it to church) had this same spec & it was also a garage queen. As he lost interest in it, I had hopes of trying to persuade him to sell it to me but he wasn't ready yet. I ended up with a c207 chassis, and he ended up selling it to someone who of course wrecked it shortly after. Not sure what peoples obsessions in the South Jersey/Philly area are with wrecking the last of the great German cars that are already well on to extinction. It had absolutely zero rust. Wish MB and BMW would take a look back and remember what they used to do, and how good it really was.
Well .......... look at THIS little gem of a "puddle jumper" ........ better than the new crap they're putting out there for two to three times as much!
Nice one! Really in a very good shape. I prefer the v6 from 1999/2000. They have 18 valves and 12 ignition plugs and run sooo smooth. While standing still I often wonder if its still running•••
Great channel, great reviews and great cars!! Fantastic job men! Any posibility reviewing older Mercedes benz 123/124 or 190 or any older european cars..? Best wishes!
I remember being a kid and seeing plenty of these, brand new, back in 2001 and 2002. '96-'02, very solid old Benz cars. They don't make them like they used to! Cheap luxury that's depreciated so much, your wallet will thank you for not buying brand new! Hahaha!
It's an awesome car! My dads was destroyed in Hurricane Sandy according to the insurance company.. water damage, but I feel its probably still out there auctioned off by the DMV (I read that's what usually happens, a lot of the times they aren't just thrown to a scrap yard). I'm trying to find it haha. Who knows!
Curious cars is the type of man to live like the sopranos, Very nice car i own one my self pearl blue, manual transmission, better then the new ones, i remember this e classes where a must have, back in the late 90s and 2001 aside from the S Class and the G Wagon
Hi I just bought.a 1999 Mercedes 320 and I'm happy with it for the most part but it's got alot of miles on it and I'm having issues with over heating. What should I do?
I currently have two of those I bought one as a parts car and find it really difficult to tear it apart since it runs and drives with no problems. One has the grey interior and the other black both cars are grey exterior so they look like twins side by side
I got a 1995 E320 fully loaded only has 115,454 miles and the window sticker it came with they paid $43,300 in 1995 for it and I'm selling mines what can i get for it it's in great shape
The probably least liked middle class Mercedes ever built. Even here in Germany, where they are not really that luxurious, you will not see many W210 and S210 anymore. Probably because they rusted away, while the predecessor W124 just keeps on running. Did not help, that these things were considered to be terribly ugly when they came out. Mechanically they certainly are good and if you sit inside, it probably feels quite stately. But no thanks. I would go to every upper middle class Merc from th 50s till today except for this one.
really unfortunate that they were that bad in certain climates. my grandfather just gave me his 1996 E280 with 247 000km and it's in perfect condition with no rust at all. Here in South Africa we have a pretty dry climate so rust is no issue at all.
Nah the w211 series 1 would have to be the worst, with build quality issues and worst of all SBC which isn't covered every else than you lucky guys in the USA, one of the least of all being here in Australia lol. And to me it sounds like a terrible system which takes away the driver's fine control of the brakes.
@@lolakola9084 I've read later year w124s had a downfall in quality as well. I'm looking at a w210 one day, as their engines are much more efficient, and compared to my w202, the quality is probably slightly better if anything! 😅
If you dont count the latest ones. The older ones are of course nicer though. Its oonly the front that is the problem though. Got a bit better with the facelift.

These rust like crazy up here in the northern states. I haven’t seen a clean one like this in ages
They are everywhere in Florida lol

I remember my grandfather owning one of these when I was young. I always loved and remembered that suction cup sound when you open the doors.

The 1997 E320 was the old double head cam straight 6. The V6 came out in 1998.
this is absolutely beautiful i love the older model mercedes so much better , i love the original look ! i love my e350
The finest car ever. The w210. I drive a 97 e420. Bastard car for sure but a freeway machine
What do you mean by ''bastard car'' ?
@William Goss that's a bastard line
Welcome back Bill. You are awesome and accurate as always.
I have owned 3 W210 E320s. Amazing cars. Probably one of the best grocery getters I have ever owned.
Richard were they reliable? Why 3? I’m currently looking at a ‘98 E320
Brian McReynolds did you buy it?
Thanks, bro. Such elegant cars are so expensive here in Iran that people cannot afoord to buy; so we just watch these videos and enjoy!
Well .......... look at THIS little gem of a "puddle jumper" ........ better than the new crap they're putting out there for two to three times as much!
More like 5 to 6 times as much!
Nice one! Really in a very good shape. I prefer the v6 from 1999/2000. They have 18 valves and 12 ignition plugs and run sooo smooth. While standing still I often wonder if its still running•••
6:32 slight slip where it was called V6 rather than inline haha
I just bought a Mercedes-Benz 1997 E320 with 70,000 miles on it.😂 And I'm the third owner.
I’m bout to buy one with 85,000 and I’m the 3rd owner 😂
Have always adored the look of this era e class, and the coupe! Maybe one day I'll have one, untill then it's my good ole Buick century :)
Great channel, great reviews and great cars!! Fantastic job men!

Great video, what a beautiful example 🙂

your reviews are delightful to listen to, get rid of the girl and go back to these.
Buscaré un W210 👍🇲🇽🇲🇽

Hi Bill - What do you think about the 1999 W210 E430 V8 Mercedes Benz used vehicles with 150k miles. Thanks.
Good to see a car this age this new, can you ship this to Nigeria if I buy it?
At about 6:27 he says 'nice running V6' ……it is actually an in-line 6.
I got a 1995 E320 fully loaded only has 115,454 miles and the window sticker it came with they paid $43,300 in 1995 for it and I'm selling mines what can i get for it it's in great shape
1:04 it has the earlier inline 6 motor, thats a 24v v6. what
Bill is there a dash cap available to cover the cracks? Like on the w123 cars. My e420 has a few more than this one. Kinda ugly.
Hahahaha " u can threaten someone in the Newyork subway"" haha but why will u do that bill??🤣🤣
you keep saying v6 its a straight !!
I like this car how can getting
Isn't this a straight six, not a v-6?
Can someone please tell me where I can find the song at the beginning of the video?
FOUR SPEED automatic gearbox and 6 cilynders in line
You keep swapping about talking about it being an inline 6 and a V6.
Please how much is this car although am from Nigeria
Inline and v6 in one?
W211
Facelifted w210s recieved a V6 upgrade before the w211 debuted.
from 95-99 it has a inline 6
from 99-2002 it has a v6
When you fired the engine you said nice v6
This is inline 6

Мне продайте это Авто пожалуйста
вот только какой на хуй это V6 ЕСЛИ ЭТО РЯДНАЯ ПЛИТА?

if you overlook that these rust like shit, these are one of the best e classes ever built :)

The best one is W124. This one was a shame of Mercedes when they stopped producing the W124.

@@lolakola9084 The "shame of Mercedes" should be early model W203 and W211. What hard and plasticky/problematic piles of rubbish (respectively).
One of the ugliest models in the Benz history
Because you can't afford one lol.
You probably are not too guapo, I bet.... Later ugly dude
If you dont count the latest ones. The older ones are of course nicer though. Its oonly the front that is the problem though. Got a bit better with the facelift.
I strongly disagree.. It's one of the best looking honestly
I disagree
