Smile Buying Dilemma 07- E350 or 08 - C300

Hi All.
I need ur advice, I am in a dilemma should i buy a like 2007/08 E350 or should I just keep my Current 2008 C300 Sport. I like the E50 for 07/08 except for the nav system which is old. I like my C300 and its nav system but the car is a bit cramped. Kindly advice which is a better decision ? And if I buy the 07 E350 can I retrofit the new 2009 command system into it. Thanks in advance

Since the W211 has been replaced now by the new W212, you would be buying an out of production but still good car.

No, the Comand cannot be swapped out for the current version.

The 2009 E350 has the new version of Command that is on the 08 C300. Right now, there is a $6k rebate from MB, plus dealers are drastically discounting these cars to move them off the lots and there is 1.9% financing for up to 66 months. Also, check to see if your company gets a discount. Mine has a fleet discount and if I were to get one, combined with the rebate, it's almost $20k off the price of the car. I'm holding off to see how much more in rebates they will offer once the 2010 E350 is released plus considering my discount, I might just go for the 2010 if I like it that much more. Also consider the Audi A6, it is very roomy, has Quattro and now they are including free maintenance again. Hopefully your trade-in value will not be too terrible. Good luck!

Wink Thanks guys

I guess, I will also wait for the 2010 E Class Sedan / Coupe. Well my firm doesnt have a discount. But atleast I saw pics of the new 2010 e coupe and it looks great. My dealer told me that it should be available in June. Thanks again Guys.
