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.

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.
