The hood logo is not gone. In fact it is standard on the E350. In the states about 80% of the cars are ordered with the "sport" option which means no hood ornament, bigger tires and a stiffer suspension.

2014 E350 Wagon
Based on the interior photos no keyless-go and no parktronic. Designo is nice but nothing says "designo" more than custom ordering your car and "designing it" yourself.

It looks like this car is somebody's custom order. Very strange options set. A person who ordered it decided finally to save on some very useful options which currently every car has. However when time to pickup the order came, the person realized that now he/she can take a similar car for $8K less, obviously he/she refused taking it. Barry will need heavily discount it maybe $15K to sell. I wouldn't buy it for any money since simple white exterior isn't Mercedes color, it is coming from BMW

Keyless Go is hard to tell from pictures.
Dealer don't install at Start Button until delivery.
By the way I cracked my windshield on my 5 day old E350.

Cars w/o Lane Departure = 1200
Only Mercedes factory glass at the moment.
I paid my $500 deductible and GEICO takescare of the rest.
Safelite guys went above and beyond to find a windshield from a dealer 60 miles away from me.

They did offer me a better deal on the replacement for $1025 but GEICO doesn't do direct billing with dealership.

GEICO seem a crappy company, I tried to insure with them and they gave me a really good rates, however after signing they claimed I had some non existing accident in past and bumper premium by $500. I told them sorry and got a normal insurance company giving me even better rates.

Both of my cars are leased so I am ok to take the risk with GEICO. I also have umbrella with them for the house. They car cheap enough that AAA can't beat them.

I got $2,000 coupon from BMW for purchase or lease any BMW car. So generally MB accepts competitor's coupon, so you can get exstra $2,000 off making total discount closer to $15,000

I just got an ad Emailed for a 2014 Luxury E350 for $319 a month with just over $3K drive off. Crazy how much they give these cars away.

Typical CLA250 lease at roughly 400s bucks right now becausethey are selling like hotcakes at or above MSRP. They have absolutely no trunk cash nor discount on interest rate so CLA leasees are probably paying more thanE 350 Sedan.
Now back to the E350 situation here:
Because non P1 luxury pkg is a 53k car, then apply 11k off that everyone is getting.
I calc this at 9% tax rate.
MSRP 53k
Cap Cost 42k
MF .00148
Residual 69%
mi/month 10k/27months
Drive off = $2000 ish (1st month / bank fee / reg)
Monthly + Tax = $350
Just add roughly $12 per month for each $1000 dollar over the sample 53k msrp car. If you want an estimate of how much on a loaded car cost.
