Should I buy a 2005 Mercedes-Benz E-Class?

Hi Brian,

Yes, but only if you get it checked very, very carefully. This was the model of E-Class that gave Mercedes a serious warranty headache and almost single-handedly undermined the brand's reputation for quality. Most of the problems (chiefly electrical issues) should have been ironed out by now but check to make sure all the various systems work properly and if it doesn't come with a phone-book's worth of service stamps and receipts, walk away.
