Buying E350 what to expect?
Im interested in a e350 4matic with 30something miles, just wanted to see if anyone ran into any problems or issues regarding engine tranny anything really.

get a 2008 or 2009 and it will be one of the best cars you can buy, even the 2007 are decent. i've owned lexus GS and BMW 5 series and they dont even stand in the same class as an e-class in terms of build quality, ride and luxury.
first choice would be a 2009 since it had a significant technology command system upgrade.
the only known engine issue throughout the years is a gasket cover replacement possibly needed if there is an oil leak. it is not a major problem and is covered under the warranty. otherwsie, comply with the flexible A/B maintenance schedule and you will be golden. all my mercedes we have owned have been much lower cost vehicles to own vs. others...just maintanence, tires and brakes...and i acually feel the pricing on those items are reasonable...they used to be much more expensive.

I hear you guys in terms of quality, my C55 looks and feels great (interior wise im talking about). I have two friends with M3 coupes and they are falling apart, and one of them had a SMG tranny problem.
This may come as a surprise but the Cx-7 has a higher maintence record then my C55! Which is crazy...
