I've lurked on this forum for a while and decided to finally shoot the gun on a CPO e class. I found a great deal on a 2015 E550 cabriolet with premium package and intelligent drive package from a local Mercedes dealer. It has 60k km on it but that shouldn't be too much of a concern considering I'll still have 3 years warranty.

My only concern is that the deal seems too good to be true. Are there any reliability issues I should know about with the 2015 e550? Anything I should look for specifically before I buy it?

Um...what's the "deal" that's too good to be true?

$58000 CAD or $44000 USD. Seems really low to me, especially considering it's a CPO from a local Mercedes dealer in Ontario.

There are frequent reports of warped rotors on 2014s; may have bled into 2015s.

Also, if your wheels are the standard 5-spoke (shown in link), then double check to make sure that none of the wheels have been bent. Seriously. The wheel combination + c207 suspension + heavy weight of the 8-cylinder engine is a recipe for above-average incident numbers for wheel issues. I'd imagine even more prevalent in a cold-weather climate such as yours.

Lastly, I would say that the deal you're considering is good, but not really too good to be true. Mileage is high for a CPO and considering that, it's not much cheaper than it would be in California, which is pretty much the most expensive convertible market in NA.

Deal seems decent actually, basically rational, and not too good to be true. Mileage is a bit high as someone else said.

And yes, rotors suck, but that's about it really

Rotors also suck on the 2013. I've got 36K miles on mine and 3 rotor replacements
