Do you know how much they sold it for?
Nice to see the resale on the W212's starting to level out and actually remain pretty high in this case, considering how INSANELY MBUSA gives these cars away via slashing prices. $44K for a 3 MY old Loaded-ish E350 with a decent amount of miles is a pretty solid resale price, again, considering what they're going for New (via discounts).

Yeah, seems like P2 is VERY rare, much more-so than Pano even. Baffles me as I wouldn't really want the car without it. A simple yet very effective Option that rounds the car out into being what it should be, IMO.

I agree. Very small charge for a big improvement IMO. Idk, in our Leasing-Generation (yes, I too am in a Lease), people just want the hottest car with the highest cachet that they can afford, and they want it as cheap and stripped down of everything but said cachet as they can get it.

if buy, check whatever you need or can afford.
that's what i've learned from couple managers who work in different car dealers. so that could be the reason why you don't see that many p2 on the market yet. you'll probably see more and more from this point and on as more of them are off the lease. buying a used car is very similar to buying a used house. don't rush unless you are desperately needed one or planning to change it very soon. two cents from someone who doesn't know much

if lease, check all the option/package/accessory boxes.

if you are in no rush, cars with that kind of specs will come across sooner that you expected as what i've mentioned earlier, more and more are coming off the lease. but if you want one asap, every minute seems like years. don't show your emotion to any car dealer. they won't give you a penny off.

Yea I made it clear to the sales guys i was talking to that i love the C, and am not gonna jump into a new car right away, more that im trying to take stock of whats out there and see what my options are. Its also more dependent on what they give me as a trade in for my current C, if they try to screw me on its value theres no way ill do it

Well no one ever takes me seriously at dealerships. I'm only 26 and look like im 20.....No one ever greets me and unless i park my car RIGHT in front of the window, im totally treated as just a kid whos drooling over nice shiny things. Oddly enough the Bentley dealer gives me drinks and lets me test drive.......
. but that's the nature of most retail businesses unfortunately.

Well the dream car came back to the dealer after being 'sold' on thursday, went in, took her for a spin, then the finance people threw on the brakes. They couldnt quite work the numbers to get to where i wanted. Gonna do a bit of crunching on my own, but looks like i need a larger down payment then i had ready at the time, in order to get my monthlys lower =/

Interesting. Take your time, don't get too hot and heavy on it, and know that there are lots of these cars around and prices will naturally go down as time goes on (on the flip side, so will your car's, therein lies the problem).
Don't do anything that'll hit your wallet too hard! When you do the "roll into payments" trick, it seems all the better, but when you do the math as to how much it'll cost you in total, it'll make your gut wrench. At the same time, life is too short, if it makes sense, you want it, and you have the means, then go for it.
