They have way more grumpy old men than we have here.

Nobody is suggesting that you that you buy the Merc to get noticed, we just strayed a little off topic. Whether people like the design or not, we are just stating that the Mercedes vehicles tend look more "sculpted" instead of "assembled".

nice! ya I could imagine lol

and ya I love the design of the c class and the e class isn't bad but not great.

what year did the c class get the interior redone?

fintail 03-09-2014 06:53 PM

I think the interior update was for model year 2012.

Those round HVAC controls annoy me. I much prefer the W212 style.

HVAC = heating, ventilation & Air conditioning.

livingweapon 03-09-2014 11:41 PM

ya they are so low class for the price you pay, I was looking and it was 27,000 for a redesigned one which is just to close to the e class to even consider it

If it is Certified CPO its a good price. about 3000-3500 over auction.

If its not a MB certified then it is not a good price.

Also check the in service date, make sure it is less than 4 years so you can get wood trim changed out if faded.

Lastly, I would recommend looking to see if you want the P2 options, Keyless go and bi xenon. They give quite a big boost in the luxury feel for this car.

Distronic is also awesome but rare to find.

That color looks awesome with the pano roof though.

it is not cpo and still is with in 4 years, I will look around but it seems like the pickings are sparce

drsaab 03-10-2014 05:24 PM

If you focus on 2011, then it should be attainable at 32-33k plus tax tag for a CPO in the 40k mile range. Where r u located?

Also you can get 1.74% interest on a CPO.

livingweapon 03-10-2014 07:51 PM

Well,
It may not mean anything at first but over time it will meaning that it is a Benz and not something else you park. It really grows on you and compared to the other cars you will like the MB longer for the fact that it is appreciated by other people too, not just by yourself.


Like for myself, Corvette does not mean anything. This may be because I really don't know the car. Never had one and never drove or rode in one and that is the point, i.e. how much do people in general know about the car or how do they in general think of or respect the car.


I bet more North American people know about the good reputation of Mercedes brand than Corvette.

I do understand all this and it is true

These guys made me an exceptional deal on my CPO '12 E550C. They even paid to ship it half way across the country.

Don't know if this one is of interest to you but I would not be surprised if you could get it for $30k or less.....

About the Corvette.


I think Corvette is a very fine American sports car. I have some German friends that have told me Corvette gets very good marks in tests around in Germany.


It just is that when I see one on the road it does not really get the attention. Yes, it is there and sure different from other cars but if there was a S-class MB next to it I think most people would be looking as the S...

mrbrianshin 03-11-2014 01:47 AM

Get the 2010 E350 4MATIC. HANDS DOWN.

THE A4 LOOKS LIKE A WOMANS CAR. WHAT ARE YOU.. A WOMAN?

Theres just so much to a man in a Benz rather than a man in an Audi... just my opinion....

I myself have a 2010 Iridium Silver E350 4MATIC with Panoramic Sunroof. It just screams sex.

That looks like a good deal if you can get it for $30,000... IMO. Also try if you can get "Keyless go" as well.

seems like the other one is a better deal, also is there a reason why I would pick a 2010 cpo over a 2011 non cpo cause wount they both have the same amount of warranty?

drsaab 03-11-2014 12:37 PM

On a CPO you can buy 2 yrs extra warranty with unlimited miles for $1900. I have not seen you present a 2011 non cpo.

The one you presented was a 2010 Non cpo, in which ppl advised for that much you could get a 2010 cpo.

I didn't know that Audi A4 has a connotation with being a women. I thought VW beetles, Mini, and perhaps red BMWs were known as girlie cars.. .... Lol.

or MB of rochester Minnesota, 2011 E350W4, has P2 pk and pano roof and parktronic, CPO, 44k miles, asking 31866

That would be my first choice cause of options.

The mileage is not such a big deal, CPO gives unlimited miles warranty now,

http://www.mbofrochester.com/certifi...f07e42b4e2.htm

KEY08 03-11-2014 02:19 PM

^that one. P2, Pano and Parktronic are all necessary in my opinion. You should jump on this now.

I really like it! but im looking for black on black for professional reasons, but thank you for the research, iv just been so busy! also I don't think the new a4 looks girly at all.

about the 2011 I was just wondering and 1900 for 2 years sounds great, also what is parktronic?

KEY08 03-11-2014 03:43 PM

Parktronic is MB's front and rear parking sensors. There are visible and audible devices on the dash and above the rear window to assist you in parking. I have had it on my last two Benz' and it is the best system out there. There is also a parallel parking assist that comes with Parktronic to help you locate a proper parking space and guide you into it.
