2012 e550 price check
I liked the solid feel of e350 but want more power than m272 and m276, thus on my route to a 2012+ e550 which has a newer more efficient motor.
However 2012+ e550 sedans are rare on market.
I saw one close to me here:
http://www.benzelbusch.com/inventory...-4matic-U11151
edmunds detail retail clean price for this one is 47k. They ask for 53k. It is a significant markup due to rarity I think.
how much should I expect to pay for this one to be fair? thanks!

more efficient while more powerful motor attracts me. But I do have lots of short trips to not do the di engine any favor.

I have a 2012 with the 4.6 TT engine. I feel a substantial difference compared to the 5.5 N/A engine in my previous 2008 CLK 550. I originally was looking for a 2010 or 2011 CPO E550 but the TT engine sold me on a new 2012. Others on the forum have argued that there is no real difference because there is only a 20 HP (rated) difference but I doubt that they have actually driven a 4.6 TT. There is a bigger difference in torque.

Do a Google search on "direct injection problems" - those who have a direct injection engine are basically beta testing a new technology - one that leaves recycled exhaust gasses (think EGR) injected into the intake ports without a spray of fuel to wash any gunk off - that can lead to carbon build up in the intake ports and on the intake valves which will lead to reduced performance.
