Just took delivery of my new 2014 E350 4Matic. I have had 2011 and a 2012 E class and the '14 is much improved inside and out. Here is my build:

Black
Silk Tex
Premium 1
Chrome Door handle inserts
Rear Deck Spoiler
Parktronic w/ advance parking assist
Lighting Package
Keyless Go Package
Pano Roof
AMG Wheels
Lane Tracking

The LED lights are amazing, super white and super bright, the best headlights I have seen on a car to date.

Lane tracking seems to be the same as on the older models.

The ECO mode for me is great. The stop/start does not bother me at all and I like the idea of saving a little gas.

The Sport package looks amazing with the center star and the chrome accents.

I did a lease, they are too good to pass up right now. I am shocked to see the discounts on these cars on such a new model. The rates that MBFS are offering for the lease are special rates that only apply to the gas sedan, not the Bluetec or the wagon. You are not able to do Multiple Security Deposits on these special rates. I did a 27 month lease with 10k per year, 2 year maintenance included.

Thanks as always for all of the info from the forums!

Congrats! Do you have any idea on the interest buy rate for a conventional financing on an E-wagon?

tjg0024

For a lease on the wagon, MBFS is using the standard money factor which is .00225. which is an interest rate of 5.4%. You can buy this one down using multiple security deposits since it is not a special rate...

As far as interest on a buy, I would assume you would use bank financing since MB does not have anything subsidized.

Sorry, I was asking about the interest rate for a conventional 60 month financing term. I can get 2.15% from my bank and my dealer said "bring us what you can get and we'll beat it" but I don't want them to beat it, I want them to give me loan at the buy rate.

MBFS has 2.21% if you do a one pay on the 2014 E350 sedan.

Congrats, loaded car
I like your feedback as well . It's nice to see improvements on the FL W212

Congratulations! Can't wait to see pics! I am interested in seeing the chrome door inserts if you get a chance.

GregTR

Thanks. That is higher than what my bank offers. So much for subsidized financing... What is one pay?

tjg0024

I am thinking that he is referring to the one-pay lease option. The money factor for the 27 month lease is .00142 which is about 3.4%...

Congrats. Great option set. Could you share your timeline of when it was ordered and when it arrived.

I'm hearing a lot about these 27 month one pay lease deals.

tjg0024

Sorry, I said build, but I guess I meant the one I purchased. I did not build it, I just found the one i I liked the most at my dealer and took it. I actually would have ordered it pretty much the same. I lucked out since this one didn't have a lot of the stuff that you see that adds money to the car like the comfort box, split folding rear seat, etc. I was able to get a car that had Pano roof instead of those little options that add up to a decent amount of money that I have no use for...

dbtk

Correct, it is a single pay upfront lease. I was able to secure $18K all in on a $63,680 E350 4Matic sedan with 2 year prepaid maintenance included.

tjg0024

For what it's worth, this may be helpful to others, I did a 27 month lease, my MSRP was $65,820, my upfront payment due at signing was $1,290.01, 2 year pre-paid maintenance included, 10k miles per year, monthly payment is $599.99.
