Very nice! I have a 3LT Z51 on order.
I thought I would never run into a forum worse than the Mercedes forum till I visited the Corvette forum. lol
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".

S213 E450 4Matic, W111 220SE - prior cars: 3x W212, W210 E55 AMG, W202 C43 AMG, W126 300SE
I think the interior update was for model year 2012.
Those round HVAC controls annoy me. I much prefer the W212 style.

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 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 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...

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.

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.

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,

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.
