I just had my 04 Volvo S60R totaled. Looking to replace with an 06 E350. It seems as comofortable and as nice a sterio as what I had.
It has 58K mi and needs a brake job.
Is ther any thing else i should be concerned about or need to check.

I'll be logging about 20k mi/yr.

Thanks all!

What is the cost? I have a 2006 E350 4matic and love it...I have had some stuff go wrong but I now have 105,000 miles on it...

Check service history for balance shaft repair and shifting/conductor plate issues. By all means, get a professional prepurchase inspection first.

Check airmatic supension system.

No Air suspension system in a 350.

Check all the things which were found to be failed on my non-CPO 2006 E350W4M with 44k miles- right after I bought it.

-Cam solenoids
-Rear main seal
-Steering column wiring harness
-Oil cooler heat exchanger
-Cruise control lever
-Cruise control module
-Sensotronic brake control module.

I hired LemonSquad to check my car out before I purchased it, but only because it was being shipped in from another state. Had never driven a W211 before then but for some reason it felt... very familiar. Great car but check for the balance shaft issue for sure, SBC as wagonman mentioned, and such. When you do the brake job have an indie do it and get some PowerStop or StopTech rotors, you can do all four for about $400 versus $600 for only the front two at the dealer. Good luck hope to see pics!

If you have the money spring for a 2007 if possible facelift = amazing.
