The W211 wagons are pretty much the pinnacle for MB wagons in my mind, especially if you can find a nice E500 version. They *are* more complex and require an SDS system to maintain them if you’re going to do anything of significance. That’s not to scare you, just to help you understand that diagnostics are difficult, at best, without one.
Nice cars, though. If I was looking for another wagon I would definitely focus on a W211 wagon. The tough part is that they didn’t make a lot of them so they can be difficult to find. As a result they command higher prices than their sedan counterparts. -D On Sep 8, 2023, at 9:11 AM, Donald Snook via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: Any particular areas of concern on these? I have wanted a wagon for a long time. But, the 123 Wagons cost a fortune. The 124 diesel wagon is the same. The 300TE Is hard to find. And anything recent scares me because of all the tech and reliability. So, the 211 Wagons are good? I drove a loaner 2005 E500 a friend had. He had spent several thousand dollars on struts. I read about some issue with the radiator that blows up and trashes the transmission. I loved driving it. I’m sure the joy had a lot to do with the V8. Donald H.
