I've been looking at purchasing a 2007 E350. This one has switches on both front seats I haven't seen. One postion a green light comes on, in the other direction it's a red light. I was thinking seat heaters but aren't they above the ashtray?
Thanks

if it didn't have P1 package (for 07 - 09) cars, but that's hard to find as most (at least here in LA) all have P1, just very hard to find with P2 (and leather on 350 models).

After a successful pre-buy inspection, I bought it! car fax says it's worth 1730.00 more than retail. Whatever that means?

In general, 1 owner vehicles are worth a little more $ on car fax versus average retail.

Oh Ok, Thanks Bav! I've been looking for a E350 for a while and some were one owner, but that was the most above avg. that I've come across. Most were sub 500. Well anyway it's mine now.
