New '14 E550

Absolutely love it. Very supple ride. Gobs of torque. Personally, I like the "new' front fascia. The new LED headlights also look very distinctive and aggressive at night.





The E550's younger, angrier brother:

Zibby congratulations. We seem to have the same car. Does yours also have the ash wood interior? If so our cars are twins - I have 2014 E550 4matic that is irridum silver, has the black leather with ash trim, the panoramic sunroof and the rear spoiler.

Thank you! It sounds like you have excellent taste! Do you have some photos of yours posted here somewhere? Would love to see the twin!

I think we both have excellent tastes. The pictures in this thread (https://mbworld.org/forums/e-class-w...-new-ride.html) is from when we picked her up at the end of November. Since then I had a clear bra put on the front and I coated the paint.

Congrats! Car looks great.

I am E-Class shopping as well as my wife's E350 lease is about up. I am hoping to find a 2014 E550 with just the Lighting and Premium 1 packages.

Do dealers offer aggressive deals on E550 nowadays?

Thank you very much. It is really stunning how many changes were incorporated into the LCI/facelift model.

Thanks man!

Back during the holidays, when I was in the market, you could get some relatively aggressive deals on all of the E-Class sedans.

I think the lease deals for the E-Class sedans are still fairly favorable. Best of luck with your search!

I have been heavily shopping CPO. I thought this was a good deal for a 3 Mos old e550. This car has a msrp of 77k. Has distronic plus too.

Driver assist. Pano. Park. Light pk. massage seat. Heated wheel. I think it has everything possible!

Few grand more than a new e350 4 matic for a whole lot of nicer car.

That car has a lot of options - still makes me realize that I got a good deal on ours - we paid slightly more for ours when new.
