E350 2008 Questions

Hi Guys,

I'm a proud owner of MB. I had 2001 S430 which I have terrible experienced with the Airmatic suspension. I'm considering 2001 E350 4MATIC. Pls. Is there any known issues with the suspension or engine or transmission system that I need to know with this car E350 2008 b4 I jump into it? Also what price range should E350 2008 with 48k mileage go for? dealer is asking for 29k for it. I will really appreciate every bit of advice.

Thanks guys.

2007 E350
I've got a 2007 E350 4M, bought in June w/ 50K miles. This is basically the same as what you're considering. I paid just over 27K.

I'm liking my car so far, but initially I experienced a common "problem" -- sometimes the transmission kicks when it upshifts after giving it a fair bit of gas to accelerate. Not really a problem short of some discomfort. My driving style pretty much adapted so it doesn't happen anymore -- I can tell when it's about to happen and just leave the throttle open a little until the car shifts. No more problem for me.

I bought a 2008 CPO E350 almost a year ago with 25K miles, AMG sports package, pano, and P1. Paid $35,000.00 + tax/license.

I tried to buy another 2008 CPO E350 about 2 months ago with 35K miles, AMG sports package, pano and P1 and the dealer wouldn't go under $32,500.00 + tax/license.

Hope this helps.
