Is this the OEM Mercedes-Benz E430 manual or an aftermarket guide?
The OEM version. It carries the procedures, specifications, torque values and wiring diagrams Mercedes-Benz published for the E430, organized by system — not a condensed aftermarket summary.

Why do some E430 years cost more?
Every E430 year is $40.99.
Is this a subscription?
