E350 MB Black on Black
Wink Future MB owner!

Hi I am new to the forum and new to the MB world. I do not own a MB, however, I am ready to own my first. I currently own a 2012 altima, that I purchased in 2011. I cant get a 2013 MB, but I can get a 2010 MB E class. The price seems right and it has the new model. I like the E because to looks a little more classy and sexy than the C. What is your input on changing card and going back.

I found a car that is not from the benz dealer, but they sell cars. these are the cars he sent me to look at. Are thes good prices, once you click it, you can read the description. I would love your feedback! Thanks

They advised the titles were clean and the one E that is listed has factory warranty still on it for 17000 mile ( about a year).

It might be worth your time to look for comparable cars from a MB dealer that are CPO. If the prices are close the there is value to being CPO; warranty availability, known servicing, etc.

Hello,

My approach has always been to purchase thru a dealer, you can't go wrong. If you do you homework I find you can also get a good deal from a dealer.

An oxymoron if I ever heard one. Funny thing too is that many of the cars on the site are clunkers and the MBs are below market value - which tells you something about their quality. In order to sell them cheaper they need to buy them cheaper - which means buying problem cars. Me thinks the service records on all the cars will be very long.

Ahh, well. It seems the OP already bought one there without doing his homework so all we can do at this point is wish him well.

I don't understand it. Was he posting his first message as he was signing the papers at FFC?

I assume you have looked at Autotrader, Cars.com, etc.? Could also try Carmax. While not CPO, Carmax generally gives a warranty on their cars. Warranty of some kind will be good to have, especially one honored by MBUSA.
When I have my car serviced, the dealer provides a "C" class as a loaner. Always amazes me how much nicer the E is inside. Of course, E also costs more.
Had my car 3.5 years and even now when I walk up to it in a parking lot, it still impresses me with its amazing styling - from any angle. Looks much better than the 2014 E - IMO. Good luck.

Look at the carfax.....the e class was not only in an accident, it has structural damage, that is pretty serious and that would be the reason it is so cheap. Both ML-classes were in accidents, but the E60 5 series is clean but high mileage. These cars may look okay and the price looks even better, but there is a reason for those prices.
