Bought my first Mercedes

Hello everyone

Since retiring from the military I decided to upgrade my car and house. Yesterday I bought my first Mercedes. 2011 E350 4matic Artic White; PO2 Premium 2 package; Sports Package; Drivers Assistance Package; Spoiler; Heated seats; Folding Seats; Driver Seat w/ massage. The retail price was $63,665 but I paid wayyyyyyyy under that out the door thanks to USAA. I am looking forward to learning from the forum. Oh, Pictures are coming...

I own a Mercedes! I am just happy!

Congrats on your new Mz and thanks for your service. You worked for it and earned it, you deserve it. The new E is supposed to be absolutely one of the best Mz has ever made, and one of the best in the world.

Congrats and enjoy! First Benz is such a great feeling. Beware, once you start with them, you always gotta have at least one.

Congrats. Used USAA to get my first M-B also in Nov. 2009. This is also my "retirement" car.
Interestingly, bought a pick-up recently and USAA "dealers" were way higher than what I found locally, not to mention they were 50 miles away.
You may want to check out pre-paid maintenance plan through M-B dealerships - or not.
