1995 Mercedes-Benz E320 Cabriolet
This E320 was a very pleasant car and actually turned out to be a pretty good buy on my part. These E Cabriolets have really held their value, becoming a coveted "classic-to-be" Mercedes. Low mileage examples bring serious money, but even a higher mileage car like mine (80K) was on the way up, not down. I enjoyed driving this very comfortable and stylish convertible around and actually sold it for more than I paid for it to boot.
The 3.2-liter in-line six is a smooth motor, and just enough for this middle-weight Merc. More power would have been nice (always is), but the cars persona really made you want to drive slower and relax.
The interior was standard Mercedes in a handsome cream. It was in good shape and just starting to show its age at the time. The back seat was functional and the power top was great. I acknowledge the fact that many consider these old E Cabrios to be an "old man car". I get it. It's not exciting and probably isn't going to help you pick up chicks. That said, I can also understand why so many people love these. If I were 65 and looking for a convertible, I would have to consider this one. It's comfortable and reliable, a classic that really seems to be aging quite gracefully, and is appreciating. Sounds like a winning combination to me.
Thanks for posting this. I've owned many Mercedes, but this is one of my favorites. It's a big, solid, capable machine to grow old with that I'm fortunate to call my 4-wheeled friend.
