2012 C250 or 2010 E350?

I ordered a 2012 C250 back in April with Premium 1, Lighting Package, Multimedia Package (which now includes 3D maps and BT Audio), Lane Tracking Package (Blind Spot Assist & Lane Keeping Assist), and Burl Walnut wood trim. The 2012 C also has the new CLS steering wheel and the new color instrument cluster with the iPod integration in the center console.

However, the price of the car has skyrocketed so that instead of buying a 2012 C, I could instead purchase a used E350. I found a certified one with approx. 30,000 miles with Premium 2 Package, Black Ash wood trim, and Parktronic.

Which one would be a better buy given similar asking prices? Is getting a 2010 E class worth giving up 3D maps, Blind Spot Assist, or Lane Keeping Assist, or would it be better to get a 2010 E350 which has a faster engine, more space, keyless go, and parktronic?


Thanks in advance for the replies.

Thanks in advance for the replies.
Which car better suits your needs? If you can go as small as a C I'd go with the C.
