This 2000 Mercedes-Benz E320 first shows registration in California in December 1999 and has remained in California since it was new. The current owner received the car as a gift following the passing of a longtime friend in 2025 and has added approximately 3,700 miles over the last year of ownership. Finished in Black (040) over Java Leather (214), power is provided by a naturally aspirated 3.2-liter V6 paired with a five-speed automatic transmission. Equipment includes a power glass sunroof, power-adjustable front seats with memory, dual-zone automatic climate control, cruise control, and a factory Becker head unit. Approximately $5,000 in service is reported under current ownership, including replacement of the water pump, shifter assembly, and transmission conductor plate in 2026. This E320 shows 48,200 miles and is now offered by the private seller in Glendale, California with service records since May 2025, two keys, manufacturer’s literature, floor mats, a tool kit, a first-aid kit, a Carfax report, and a clean California title in the seller’s name.
The exterior is finished in Black (040) with matching bumpers, protective side moldings, and chrome accents. This facelift W210 features revised bumper covers, mirror-mounted turn signals, and updated lighting from the earlier models. Additional equipment includes a power sliding and tilting glass sunroof, front and rear fog lamps, and a heated rear window. The seller reports no modifications and notes light scratches on the bumpers. The rear bumper is reported to have been repainted, and the Carfax lists minor rear damage in October 2018. Exterior photos are provided in the gallery.
Factory 16-inch eleven-hole alloy wheels wear Continental ContiProContact tires measuring 215/55 at all four corners with 2017 date codes. Scrapes are visible on portions of the wheel lips. Braking is handled by four-wheel discs with ABS and Brake Assist, and electronic stability control is equipped. The Carfax documents brake service in July 2025. A spare wheel and tire are stored beneath the trunk floor.
The cabin is trimmed in Java Leather (214) with matching door panels and carpeting, a contrasting upper dashboard, and burl walnut trim along the dashboard, doors, and center console. Both front seats feature power adjustment and memory, while additional amenities include a power-adjustable steering column, dual-zone automatic climate control, cruise control, power windows, an integrated garage door opener, and a factory Becker head unit. Black floor mats protect the carpets. The seller reports that the air conditioning and interior equipment operate as intended.
The leather-trimmed multifunction steering wheel fronts an instrument cluster containing a central speedometer, a tachometer, fuel-level and coolant-temperature gauges, and digital information displays. The seller reports a current odometer reading of approximately 48k miles, approximately 3,700 of which have been added since taking possession in 2025. The instrument displays are reported to function properly.
The naturally aspirated 3.2-liter M112 V6 was factory rated at 221 horsepower and 232 lb-ft of torque, with power sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed automatic transmission. The seller reports spending approximately $5,000 on service since taking possession, including replacement of the water pump in February 2026, the shifter assembly in April 2026, and the transmission conductor plate in July 2026. The Carfax additionally documents valve-cover gasket work in July 2025, an oil and filter change in May 2026, and transmission fluid and filter service in July 2026. Service records beginning in May 2025 accompany the vehicle.
The Carfax report lists three owners and California registration history since new, beginning with corporate registration and a transfer to personal ownership in 2004. Notably, the company that owned the car belonged to the second owner. Minor rear damage is reported in October 2018, with no airbag deployment reported. The seller acquired the car in 2025 after the previous owner’s passing and notes that it had seen limited use, including a period of inactivity during the previous owner’s later years. The sale includes two keys, manufacturer’s books, service records, floor mats, a tool kit, a first-aid kit, and a clean California title in the seller’s name.
There’s something particularly appealing about a straightforward E320 in Black over Java. The eleven-hole wheels, warm leather, and burl walnut are exactly what many of us picture when we think of a Mercedes sedan from this era. The facelift details give the W210 a slightly more modern appearance, while this example retains the factory presentation right down to the uninterrupted Becker. It’s a specification that asks very little of fashion. The ownership story adds some context to the mileage, but the recent service is just as relevant. A car that spends its later years sitting often needs attention when it returns to regular use, and this seller has addressed several substantial items, including the water pump, shifter assembly, and transmission conductor plate. With approximately 48k miles, California history, and records from the current owner’s tenure, this E320 offers an inviting way to enjoy a familiar Mercedes formula, a comfortable cabin, a smooth V6, and an understated presence.
