I purchased an 2001 E320 with 52,000 miles 2 weeks ago. I paid $13,500 before tax and tag. (The purchase price is for those who would like to know if it helps ) The door is showing built 06/2000
I need to know "were is the battery" for starters? (Not the + jump on the top)
Does anyone know and/or would like to share any first signs of things or any quarks to look for? The Car Fax was clean and it was serviced by Mercedes the entire time. The radio had a problem that the dealer fixed and the oxygen sensor was changed.
Now what do I look for in the E320 to take care of the problem before I am sitting curb side on my cell phone looking for help. (Because I know I have to change out the old phone system to run on the updated digital)
I am new to this site/thread and think it is great that people pull together to find solutions to problems we all love like to get into.

Hi, Terri, and welcome to the forum. Please take a moment to complete your BW online profile re: vehicle and location as that can be really helpful.
If you look through two of the sticky threads (specifically the FAQ/TIPS and DIY) you'll find answers/references to about 95% of the common things that come up on these cars (including how to find and change the battery!).
Take care and enjoy the ride,
Greg
