'11 E350 4Matic Sport
Traded the '09 C300 - goodbye for now.
So wanted to give a quick farewell - this past Saturday traded my '09 C300 with 78k miles in for a '11 E350 4Matic with 78k miles.
Had a great time with my C300 but will say the E350 is a huge step up when it comes to refinement and handling. Got it for $16.5k but it needs new motor and trans mounts and new tires all around but other than that it is mint and has full service records.
I really liked my C300 but after some time behind the wheel of the E350 there is nothing that can match this refinement.

'11 E350 4Matic Sport
Thanks all! Yes it is a definite upgrade except for the garbage tires they put on it (Firestone Firehawk all seasons) that are new but noisy as all get out.
Funny enough about the sport vs luxury question I did not even realize MB made sport and luxury on the E, lot more subtle differences between the two vs the W204 C. (3 horizontal bars on grill vs 4, different ground effects kit, 10 MM lower ride height and black headliner) but was able to confirm today it is a Sport. Will say even in Sport trim it rides like a cloud compared to my '09 C300 Luxury.

I want to get a used Benz cos I can't afford a new one, so I need your advice.
Which is better to go for in terms of maintenance and reliability 2010 c300 or 2010 e350?
is the parts of 2010 e350 more expensive than 2010 c300?
