Kelly Blue Book (just as a reference point) suggests anywhere between $36,450 to $42,450 depending upon condition. Your payoff seems a bit high for a 2010, so hopefully they will either be generous on the trade or on the discount of the new car, if not both.
Good luck!!

It would depend upon how the two cars drive/ride, many new buyers may not even notice the difference w/o the airmatic. I think the new engines will be the biggest allure especially for the 350's. If I had a current 350 and was looking to move into something new I'd do it quickly as resale has only one way to go and that's unfortunately lower.

Plummeting Trade-In Myth

Using Kelly as a source (yes, we can dispute KBB, but it is at least as credible as an internet forum for such facts), here is what it shows:
- 2010 E350 - 24,000 miles, excellent condition = $42,450
- 2009 E350 - 36,000 miles, excellent condition = $33,375 (21.37% drop from following year, even with new body style in 2010)
- 2008 E350 - 48,000 miles, excellent condition = $28,050 (15.95% drop from following year)
- 2007 E350 - 60,000 miles, excellent condition = $22,600 (19.42% drop from following year)
- 2006 E350 - 72,000 miles, excellent condition = $17,875 (20.9% drop from following year)
- 2005 E320 - 84,000 miles, excellent condition = $14,750 (17.48% drop from following year. This was the last year of the E320 variant. Note, the 2006, first year of the E350 with the new motor suffered greater % loss in trade-in value)
- 2004 E320 - 96,000, excellent condition = $12,700 (13.89% drop from following year)
- 2003 E320 - 108,000, excellent condition = $10,700 (15.74% drop from the following year)
Rest easy, my MBWorld brethren, the sky is not falling!!

I would think so. It does depend on the new suspension quality vs the airmatic and not sure how anything could be better or the S would have it. I'll take the NA motor everyday over the turbo since the difference in performance is marginal at best and I don't think the long term reliability of the 550 motor is even a question.

guess it makes sense that mb could be refining the suspension for upcoming models?
will be interesting to see the difference...
I also like that tricky play to get you to go for a higher end model by still offering it in cls and s right?
