My father wants a Mercedes sedan. I have a 1990 300E that is like new (80K original miles) and has been fabulous. But he wants something newer. Consumer Reports gives all the new models such bad reviews that I hate to get him into a problem car. Our local Mercedes dealer manager says stay away from the ones 2000 and newer. So late 90's???
THANKS!

If you're loooking for a big sedan, anything after the introduction of the E320 (W210 chassis) in 1996 is suspect. Best bet would be 90-95. In terms of reliability, the absolute pick of the litter would be the 1993 300D 2.5 Turbodiesel.

You should base your decision upon the model that you want to get because they're all different. For any given year I'd rather get a model that has been in circulation for a few years instead of a model that was released for the first time that year.

newer the better...period
anyone who tells you otherwise is just trying to make $$$ later by servicing the older cars....or knows theyll break easier so he will sell you one now and one in a year.
newer the better

There is no way to detemine this.You can have lemons with used cars , as you do new cars. If you happen to get a good one, its great, but if you get stuck with a lemon, you are in bad shape.
