All built in the states i'm afraid (alabama to be precise ), the late ones were no doubt much better than the early ****e. Build quality was questionable on all of them in comparison with some of the German built Mercs, but not Kia by any stretch.
The diesel was definitely the most popular by a long way and was probably the best compromise between luxury and economy.
Be aware there isn't much cheap about them to run, think £80-90 a set of pads and around £70 each for discs.
Need anymore info PM me i might know somebody who works for Mercs

I thought the later ones were built over in Europe due to the quality issues regarding the US factories ??
I remember this as I was once looking for one and still would get in one if the price was right. Never quite sure about the mpg though as I read reports ranging from 19mpg / 45 mpg ????
In the mean time I brought a 2.5 SWB pajero for £1500. 56K miles / K plate, fun little thing, although 25mpg tops.
