E-350 Reliability
Hi, looking into an E-350 cabriolet. Have never owned a MB before, and just curious what kinds of issues I can expect.
looking at purchasing a 2103 or '14.
Assuming I should get a CPO with warranty.
any suggestions or words of caution?

2014 E550 cabriolet and 2017 CLS 550
I have a '14 E550 Cab. Except for warping rotors at 12,000 miles (replaced under warranty) the car has been flawless. This is a known issue with the '14 550's and MBZ downsized the rotors in '15 or '16 to eliminate the problem. Bodywork and chassis remain tight. No mechanical issues. It's a stunning, relatively rare car. I highly recommend. But, of course, be certain it's a CPO.

I have a 2013 E350 Cab. The biggest problem I had was when in roof liner pully (for lack of a better word) broke and the right side would bunch up when the roof was lowered. The rear hinges were also replaced at a different time because it was making a slamming noise when I closed the roof. Sometimes, the steering wheel doesn't move up and down by the stalk but does by the buttons on the door. Then it works fine again. Not bad but nowhere near the reliability of my departed 2006 Lexus Sc430 which I sold for this.
