2018 E400 4matic Wagon
Goodbye W211 Wagon, hello W213 wagon



Well, after 9 years and 9 months, we traded in our 2008 wagon for a 2018 E400 wagon that we ordered last October. It saddens me to think that the dealer will just sell our pristine 2008 wagon at an auction so I won't get to meet the buyer. This is the first car that I haven't sold on my own, but the trade-in price was pretty fair and I didn't think I would do much better.

See you on the W213 forum.

I am slowly getting used to new MB looks, but I know those things are technological marvels. Had a ride on dealer shuttles in those and love the big GPS screen with 3D option.
The traffic directions still suck.
Enjoy.

My wife and I spent some time today trying to get the nav to input a spoken address. We're going to work on it again tomorrow. And I read the 500-page manual last night already. The W211 information screen was a breeze by comparison.

Looks good, congrats on the purchase! As kajtek said, not my favorite but they're growing on me. I love wagons though.

The car may not go straight to auction. My local MB dealer keeps the good ones for a few months before sending them off.

They told us they had to sell at auction because they couldn't warranty it. I'll check their web site to see if they list it in a week or so.
