The Nostalgic Journey of a 2002 Mercedes-Benz E320 4MATIC Wagon
This classic piece of German engineering, a 2002 Mercedes-Benz E320 4MATIC wagon, has been making friends and family rides a bit more stylish for over two decades. Hailing from Georgia, it’s spent its latter years under the care of a devoted owner before being passed down as a trusty gift to a family member. Draped in the ever-classy Brilliant Silver Metallic and boasting a bold black MB-Tex interior, this beauty purrs along with a 3.2-liter V6 under its hood, seamlessly shifting through a five-speed automatic transmission to propel all four wheels.
Features Worth Bragging About
Let’s talk equipment. It comes with:
- 16″ multi-spoke wheels that catch the light just right
- Seats that adjust with more precision than a Swiss watch
- Third-row seating for those unexpected extra guests
- State-of-the-art at its time, a CD stereo system
- Dual-zone automatic climate control that keeps everyone happy
Ready for its next road trip, this 4MATIC wagon is ready to roll in Missouri, complete with a window sticker, the owner’s manual, a stack of service records, a clean Carfax report, and a squeaky clean Georgia title.
The S210 E320 4MATIC’s 92k miles prove it’s been loved but not overworked, akin to an Renault Megane or even a trusty Mercedes V-Class.
The Devil’s in the Details
Dressed in Brilliant Silver Metallic, this E320 isn’t just about first impressions. It’s got fog lights, a smooth monoblade wiper that sweeps across the windshield like it’s showing off, power side mirrors, a rear window wiper, roof rails that’ll get overlooked, and just the right amount of bright trim to keep things classy. While it’s sporting a scrape here and a scratch there, with a lovingly cracked right side mirror and some corrosion patches near the windshield washer, isn’t that what gives it character? Detailed photos reveal all, because transparency matters.
Wheels and Whistles
This Mercedes rolls on 16″ multi-spoke light alloy wheels shod in Yokohama Tornante tires. Born with a self-leveling rear suspension, and with added Automatic Slip Control (ASR) and the Electronic Stability Program (ESP), it’s all about a smooth, stable ride. It’s a powerhouse on wheels, though the front left upper strut mount likes to squeak every now and again, just to remind you of its presence.
Nonchalantly accelerating to 221 horsepower, the 3.2-liter M112 V6 delivers 232 lb-ft of torque, making sure you’re never fashionably late.
Inside the Time Machine
Step inside, and it’s like a comforting time capsule with its black MB-Tex upholstery—a reminder of a time when your main concern was if your cassette mix tape would hold up for the drive. Or at the very least, wishing the CD stereo would take you to less worn-out speakers.
Interior features include:
- Memory seats that remember where you left off
- Timeless cruise control
- A dual-zone climate, redefining ‘chill’ as you plot your route
The cherry on top? A rear-facing bench seat that stows away, the chameleon of seating arrangements.
Defining the Miles
The dashboard, with its leather-wrapped steering wheel, is a showcase of classic instruments—a 160-mph speedometer, a tachometer flirting with a 6k-rpm redline, and the supportive cast of gauges tracking coolant temperature and fuel level. The digital odometer marks the safety of 92,000 miles, although the missing pixels tell tales of many a journey.
Think of it as the Mercedes Equivalent of those wise, crackly films loved for their imperfections—like vinyl compared to streaming.
The Underside Know-How
Beneath, the five-speed automatic transmission is poised to send power to all four wheels, keeping you intertwined with the road below. Yes, there’s some corrosion (a touch of rustic flair, shall we say), but that’s kind of part of the package.
Going back to 2002, the window sticker, preserved in its pristineness, proudly lists standard features, premium factory colors, and optional add-ons that culminated in a sticker price tapering off at $53,405.
The cherry on top? A pristine Carfax report that shows an unblemished history with no reported accidents or damages. This Mercedes-Benz E320 4MATIC wagon invites you to become part of its story—a new chapter ready to be written on every mile marker.
