I am considering picking up a 2004 E320 4matic with low mileage but am a bit uncertain because I've heard that Mercedes is having reliability issues with their cars. I've done some random "polling" i.e. talk to people at gas stations, at the mall and I'm getting mixed signals (one fellow had just bought a new S600 4matic and the nav system doesn't work and the steering column had to be replaced - all within 6 weeks of owning the car). I'd appreciate if owners of the E320 2003 and newer could give me some feedback. The asking on the car is $40K so it is a substantial amount of $$ - I want to make an educated decision.
Thanks,
