Vehicle Description
Up for sale is my beloved 2004 Mercedes-Benz E500 4Matic Wagon. This car has been an absolute Rockstar since I purchased it in October of 2020. It was my first dive into the world of German automobiles, and it is safe to say that I am hooked and will always have some Deutschland representation in my garage.
There are multiple reasons why I am looking to part ways with this car… Firstly, I have been daily driving it over the last few years and recently purchased something more fuel efficient. Secondly, I am looking to add an AMG to my garage, and while the 4Matic All-Wheel drive is fantastic in these northern winters, it is not as performance-oriented as Rear Wheel drive.
The car just recently turned 180k miles, of which I have driven the last 34k. As you should know, Mercedes, along with their German counterparts, can be fairly maintenance heavy and is shown on this car with an extensive binder of records amassed over its lifetime.
Under my ownership, along with regular fluid and filter changes, I have completed the following…
• Engine Water Pump (Replaced @ 148k Miles in Nov 2020)
• Valve Cover Gaskets (Replaced @ 155k Miles in Mar 2021)
• Timing Cover Gasket and Crank Seal (Including new Crank Bolt) (Replaced @ 155k Miles in Mar 2021)
• All new Crankcase breather hoses (Replaced @ 155k Miles in Mar 2021)
• F+R Hawk Performance Brake Pads and Rotors (Replaced @ 162k Miles in Jun 2021)
• Front Sway Bar End Links (Replaced @170k Miles in Jan 2022)
• Rear L+R Air Springs (Arnott Units installed) (Replaced @ 174k Miles in Feb 2022)
• Front Right Air Strut (Arnott Unit installed) (Replaced @ 178k Miles in Jun 2022)
• Front Right Drive Axle (Replaced @ 178k Miles in Jun 2022)
• Fuel Tank Cap (Replaced @ 179k Miles in Aug 2022)
• Secondary Air Pump (Replaced @ 179k Miles in Aug 2022)
As you can see, this car has been meticulously maintained and should serve a new owner well for tens of thousands of miles to come. These M113 Engines and 5-Speed Automatic transmissions are notoriously reliable.
Given the car's age and mileage, you should expect the typical wear and tear that comes with the territory. The car has its fair share of rock chips, small dings, scuffs, and most noticeably a large crease down the front passenger door (How does this happen!?). Nonetheless, the door should probably be replaced and can be had from any salvage yard for under $200. Other notable deficiencies include a broken handle on the center console (I planned to upgrade to the 05+ cars center console, maybe you will too), a plastic-esc cracking noise in the steering wheel (I did not get the chance to investigate this, I believe it to be part of the clock spring that broke loose though all of the steering wheel controls function normally), and finally some slight, what I expect to be, drivers side ball joint popping under harder braking.
Given these shortcomings, I’ve tried to price it accordingly… These W211 Wagons, especially with the V8, are becoming increasingly more difficult to find as time goes on.
To add, please note that this car DOES NOT have the optional third row seating… I know, it bummed me out as well. In fact, on the original window sticker that is included, the original owner opted for a $750 credit in place of them… What a mistake.
In the end, this is a fantastic car that garners much attention from car guys and girls alike. It should suit you well whether you plan to drag race it or drive it to McDonald’s for your free senior coffee on Sunday mornings.
