Hi, all.
Been a member here for a few years and a proud owner of a 560sl.
I recently came across a privately owned 2002 0r 2003 E320 wagon with only 60K mile. It is located in SC, but I don't yet if it's always been here. Based on the rust belt issues, I'm hoping that is the case.
Manufactured June or July of 2002 per the door sticker.
Is this definitely a 2002 model year based on manufacture? I wasn't sure when the year models switched over.
I was told that the 2003 model year kept the 210 body but incorporated 211 sedan bits.
Is this accurate info? The value between the two model years is a significant $1600 per NADA.
I've read up a good bit on some of the known issues and was curious if the suspensions/ball joint issues are issues on all cars or only salt exposed vehicles? And, if they were addressed early on, were the new parts improved to prevent subsequent failures or should one expect to replace these items again down the road.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks!
