Question 2018 E400 Coupe...Price too good to be true??

I've been looking to purchase a 2018 E400 Coupe and finally found one I like but the price seems too good to be true. The seller is asking around $35k which is significantly lower than KBB value and any other E400 Coupe I've found. The car only has around 8,200 miles, clean Carfax, one owner, and always garaged. As you can tell he barely drives the car which is why he's selling it. Am I missing something??

Hard to say. In SoCal these go for about 6-8k more than what the seller is asking. I would have to assume that either the seller really wants to get rid of the car or something may be in question. In any case a Pre-Purchase Inspection would be a good idea if you move forward.

I'm also assuming he really wants to sell the car as he has all maintenance reports, Carfax, etc. I was just taken back on the price he wants to sell it for as the car is in immaculate condition.

Best of luck if you decide to proceed, sounds like a nice car. An inspection is still recommended, also consider remaining warranty and extension possibilities if interested. There is an extended warranty section under technical if want to read more about that.

Get a MB dealership to inspect first or an independent MB tech that is certified (probably cheaper). Just because it has a clean CarFax report means very little. Trust me, I've had that proven to me lately. It is priced aggressively to sell as most with that equipment and that low of mileage could approach $45K. The fact that it is blue and that it is only a level 1 pkg. might be the issue. That being said, it is a fairly loaded up pkg. 1 car. Good luck!

Appreciate the comments, I got an independent MB tech to inspect the car and he said there were zero issues with the car so pulled the trigger and bought it! I'm stepping up from a 2018 C300 and didn't realize the difference it would make. The E400 is a dream to drive, significantly less road noise, the suspension handles the road really well, and the twin-turbo V6 is so smooth with enough grunt when needed. I can definitely say I look forward to any reason to drive the car now or even doing grocery runs for my wife lol
