Hi friends:

I am looking into a 2008 or 2009 CPO E550. For my budget of mid/upper $30k I think I could find a 2009 but with "higher" mileage, maybe 42,000 miles. But I could also find a 2008 with much lower mileage, in the 20s.

Should I go for the 2009 and its updates, despite the extra mileage..? Or stik with a lower mileage, older model E550? I am not really looking into 4matic.

Any opinions are welcome and very appreciated.

Thank you!

I just bought a 2008 E550 4 matic. The only cars I could find in the 20's were ones that were in an accident or real dirty with high miles. the clean ones were all in the 30's. the 2009's were all upper 30's. Maybe it is different without the 4matic. good luck with your search. BTW- I LOVE my car.

the "20s" I mention is mileage - the prices are in the mid/high $30's or over $40k. My dilemma is lower mile 2008 (20k miles) or a 40k mile 2009?...

The 2009 will have the much better improved hard drive COMAND and better navigation. Full voice control, a proper media interface, DVD-A playback, bluetooth etc..

So if that's important to you, then you'll have to consider that issue.

p.s., you should be able to find a lower mileage 2009....

Watch out for balance shaft issues, which are just beginning to rear its ugly head.
