$63K for E350 is possible with all those additional options with package 2 but I'd wait around Dec-Feb of next year to get better deals. My lease expires in April and Im sure by then they will have something I"m looking for. I hope in the near future they'll bump up more HP for the V6 engines. Nissan's/ Infiniti's have theirs around 300HP range....

2009 E350
I paid 72k for my 09 E350 out the door but that includes p2 package, sport package and gap insurance, wheel damage insurance, paint and upholstry application and total intrest.. I know i had the word SUKKA spelled across my forehead.
Other then the car not being able to go 0 to 60 under 6 sec. the car is pretty comfortable to drive and it does go around conners pretty quick. As for buying 2010 model. I opted for the 09 model. I really liked the traditional look. When buying a new car you will never win against a dealership. They are there to make money!

It seems E550 territory.

I used MB USA to configure an E 350 with P2; leather; 4matic; pano; ipod; spoiler and came in at $62,065. This is full retail and I agree that in the spring, they will be talking 5k below retail, if not more. I do believe that for current lease customers they will eat 5 months of payments to get you into that new E

While I like to say congrats on the rides, some of these prices seem rather high.

I looked at 08 CLS63 with 11K miles for $68K Monday, I would much have that. My preference.

Wow. I'm not the biggest CLS fan actually, but no doubt I'd rather go that option myself, nor would I mind owning an AMG CLS63.

Pretty damn good price for a CLS63 it seems.

this post is way late to the game, by previous posts like yours are really annoying - you have no basis for your comments.

an e350 with a decent package and the pano roof EASILY costs $63K, WITH a decent discount. for a new V8 or AMG model add $10K easily. sure a base model e with no packages maybe $50-55K, but try to find one and why would you want one anyway. in 2009 4 matic was a no cost option, otherwise the e-350 would have been closer to $65K. my best friend owns the 3rd largest dealer in the country.

Black W212 E550
I've heard prices are moving up (and/or discounts moving down), last year when I asked by the E550 was considerably less than the BMW 550 I was told they priced the E class considerable less to gain quick market share. Which is why if you do a comparable build of bmw vs mb you see the bmw is considerably higher. When I talked to my dealer recently he mentioned they want to move the price up (slowly) and reduce the discounting to more of a comparable comparison (this was in relationship to buying a car with the new engine). Last year the economic situation was a little different, I think 5% off sticker isn't a bad target (anything below that is gravy). I do agree if you wait for a model year change you may get the best deal, espacially if they do bring the new engines out in 2012.

Time to open up a new biz and smuggle E350's into Canada.

PEETA123 - I think I read somewhere here that if you get the driver's assist package and wheel package, you do NOT get the steering wheel just to let you know...

If you want the car - price of ownership should not get in the way - just get it and have fun - life is too short to worry about $1K - makes sense?

I agree, but at the cost of money and the crummy residuals, leasing is becoming less attractive. A buddy just got a quote on an Infiniti M 56 (no it does not compare equally to the E 550) and he got a 59% residual and a money factor of .0018 on a 39 month lease.

The car came in at $68k and he is paying about $200 less per month than a similar E 550.

When I priced an E 350 last spring (2010) I got a residual of 44%, the money factor was great, but the residual forced the price up by $250 per month over my 07 E 350.

2011 E350 4-Matic Sport
I just purchased my 2011 E 350 4-matic sport last month. P1, rear spoiler, dynamic Seat, heated steering wheel (idk if thats standard), exc. Sticker was 58K..i got it for 50k out the door. Which i thought was a good deal. Really cool salesman by the way, he had a mercedes benz seniority coupon which gave me the discount.
