2003 Mercedes W211 - Condensation

SkatesOn · 2009-09-09 18:37:24

I am looking at buying a 2003 W211 (E-CLass). One of the tail lamps has some condensation in it. Does anyone know if this is a known issue?

If you looking at a 2003 a cracked lense could be the least of your worries. Early E-Classes had appalling reliability, Germany's taxi drivers blockaded MB HQ and many shifted to Skodas as a result. 2006 facelift addressed all the issues but models prior need to be examined very carefully.
