hoping 4 a E350
2009 E350 buy advise

Hello Group,

WDBUF87X49B365668
I'm going tomorrow to look at a 2009 E350 4 mat. I entered the vin in the decoder but I'm not familiar with the codes. I was hoping someone could check the vin and see if any equipment jumps out good or bad. Here is a link to the sale. Any advise would be appreciated
Thanks for all the info on this site
Dave

I hate to put a damper on your purchase but........
I have a 2008 E350 4 magic wagon that I bought with aprox. 33,000 miles on it in 2009.
I love the car, BUT, it has had many, many things go bad including air leveling system, front shocks replacement, front axle boot and shaft, intake cam magnet replaced, and numerous other things, including the last thing that has just happened, front coil spring broke.
All this within the 112,000 miles I have on the vehicle. Lots of the problems happened at only 55,000 miles!
This is the 5th Mercedes I have owned, (74 240D, 84 300SD, 88 300E, 90 300E).
I never had the problems with the previous cars that I have had with this newer one. The quality of Mercedes has gone down and I'm really disappointed with the vehicle and the attitude of the co.
That being said, if you buy it, I would recommend an extended warranty from any reputable co. you can find.

My favorite color scheme
​​​​​It takes some reading to understand all the options those cars have, but then most of the owners don't use 3/4 of them anyway.
I would only point that TPMS for this MY is alarm only, so you can't read the actuall pressure.
Than beside wood steering wheel, I don't see any additional options. Maybe I missed that, it has no Airmatic? That can be good and bad thing, but on 10 years old car you'd have to calculate high-maintenance cost of replacing bags.
Compare the price accordingly.

Love the white paint, can't stand the interior. When I was looking for an E63 I came across a very clean and low mileage white one with pano roof (the two things I really wanted) but just couldn't do it after seeing it in person. The tan interior with that color wood was just too much. Glad I waited since I came across a white/pano one with black interior and darker wood that I ended up buying.

My wagon has the tan interior and I hate it. It's my daily and the price was right so I can deal with it.

Well basically no equipment jumps out. The only option the car basically has is the P1 option and the wooden steering wheel. That's about it. Probably a lot of cars out there are like that. It's not even the sports package, it's the basic standard luxury trim package.

Went and test drove the car. Just didn't do it for me, maybe that interior is a bit much
Thanks again for the advise
