2013 E350 4matic?

Hey guys so I am in the market for a new E350. I would like the get the 2013 E350 4matic, Sport, AMG wheel package, Premium Package 2, pan sunroof, parktronic. The dealer is trying to get me to buy the 2012 model saying that they still have not received the 2013. Ive searched online forever and I cannot find any OFFICIAL link to what a 2013 E350 sedan looks like. I see rumors that they got rid of the quad headlights and have different headlights now and etc. Also MBusa has the other 2013 models up but not the 2013 e350. Do you guys believe there will be a change in the front end of the car on a 2013? Or should I just purchase the 2012

This topic has been much discussed here. The changes in the e350 will NOT be for 2013 sold here in the US. It will be for the European version first then we will see it here in the states probably as MY 2014 or 2015. The 2013 e350 is essentially the same as the 2012. If you can find a 2012 with your options take it because you will pay about 3k less with the conquest rebate than the 2013 model (plus don't have to wait 10-12 weeks). The MBUSA website was update this week for the 2013 e350. They just haven't officially put it on the homepage. That will be this week. (FYI I ordered a 2013 e350. It is sitting in baltimore right now waiting for the 2013 to be officially released. Will be at the dealership by next friday).

Oh thanks for the info. So the E350 on the mbusa website IS the 2013? So now new changes to this years model vs the 2012 model?

Except for the bluetec on the website yes it is the 2013. They made minor changes not the facelift you have been reading about in the car magazines online. They will label and market it as the 2013 ths week. The pricing you see is the 2013 pricing fr the 4matc sedan.

You are asking good questions. I had no choice. The options (PII, driver assist, parktronic) and color I was looking for, although not that unusual, was not in stock anywhere. This was in may. The only year I could order at that point was 2013. Now I'm paying extra for it. If I was a month earlier I might have gotten a 2012 and gotten conquest cash. Its all good though, cause in the long run a 2013 might be worth more since it is a newer model year.
