The cabin is upholstered in Gray Leather (218) with matching velour carpets and headliner while Burl Walnut wood trim lines the center console, dashboard and door panels and shows no signs of cracking or fading.

A walk-around and driving video has been provided by the seller below.
As today's engineers focus more on battery-powered technology for the modern day automobile, the value of simple, analog vehicles are continuing to rise. Their simplicity and the DYI ability to service and maintain them are things we once took for granted. For us, we find increasing value in vehicles like this 2002 E320 which take us back to a simpler time. A naturally aspirated V6 mated to a five-speed 722 transmission is one of the most reliable combinations to ever roam the planet. There are no hydraulic or air suspension faults to overcome and much of the maintenance can be handled yourself. Even the design is reminiscent of the classic-style Mercedes we all fell in love with. The four-eyed face was a radical change for Mercedes when it was first introduced for 1996 and ultimately became a huge success. With most of these cars providing stress-free daily duties over the years, remarkably low-mileage and clean examples like this are near extinct.

@Jasper_Stokes I ended up buying the one on the other auction site that you commented on. I preferred the wheels on this one but ultimately the reserve was higher than I was willing to go for this car.
Beautiful example. Did you guys make a deal?
@Gl8386 please check your spam. MBM trying to reach you.
@Gl8386 I reached out to MBM on your behalf. They should update you tomorrow.
I would like to know the reserve on this car and possibly make a purchase. I'm not seeing a clear way to contact mbm..
@raceves try to contact MBM they can help you with reserve and purchase the vehicle.
I should have checked my CC info on here. Tried to bid but my CC info here was out of date.

I already have an E320 Wagon. This would make a nice companion car. I'm sure there's more of these waiting to come out in the open. Just have to be ready when they pop up. Nothing like last minute shopping eh?
Tried looking up vin on pen fed c u site but it kicked it back to me. Was about to go for it too! I'd have to finance as I dont keep that much cash on hand. Any ideas?

@airbenz actually this is a personal vehicle I'm selling. My MBM account has been set as a dealer from the beginning. Therefore there's no additional fees from my end. Yes smog certificate will be included CA buyer.
Are there any additional fees since it’s a dealer’s auction, and will a CA smog certificate be included for California buyers, thanks.

@ClassicRides from the owners word it was a small fender bender on shopping parking lot. No damage was done to the this vehicle. However the other vehicle got a dent. As a result insurance claim was reported to cover the other vehicle. This vehicle has no painted panels. I do believe him because I have a 99 E430 as my daily, and I backed in to rear door of a new honda civic as I was backing out of a parking spot 2 years ago. No damage was done to my car, but the hondas rear door was gone 😂. Driver of honda told me. I saw you backing up, but I thought I can squeeze behind you really quick 😂.
Agreed. Any info on that accident would be appreciated. Also, any major service performed worth noting? Original suspension etc? Thank you!
Carfax report shows a damage listed in 2006 with no accidents listed. Can the owner disclose what the damage was and on what part of the vehicle it occurred?
