2010 E350 Luxury Sedan, Engine 272 (V6)
Wonder what records would show?
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.

2014 E550-sold 😩
Yes, I do. SA package number 432 (Dynamic seats). I had these on my 2004 E500 as well and the new ones are an improvement. I also have the climate control(heat and cool). I like the active bolsters the best with this option. They "hug" you during an aggressive turn in. The massage is nice during long trips and is on a timer so it shuts off after 10 minutes or so. The operation is through the air bladder system filling and unfilling with air. I would get them again.
You are testing your 30K budget now. Maybe look at an 2010 E550. I paid $31K for mine in January with all the bells and whistles, which is a great deal. The 550 has standard options that may help with your value purchase, plus it has that great V8.

Not a CPO car. 43K miles, and still under warranty from the delivery date. The car has been rock solid so far with not one issue. I am not concerned with a car that has been driven as the kinks are usually worked out. The low mileage cars are the ones I get nervous about as they sit idle a lot and this isn't good.

I bought an extended warranty through the dealer that takes me out 2 years past the end of warranty. $2,100 and covers everything. I usually only keep cars for 3 years and then trade out.

Yes. Navi, airmatic suspension, all components. This is not my first Mercedes, so I know the program and what may go wrong. I have had issues with the parktronic sensors and airmatic in the past and if one of those or the panoramic roof decides to act up I will have coverage. It is part of the price to drive these fine cars. Don't get me wrong, they very reliable and I have never been left stranded by any Merecedes I have owned. The issue is the parts and labor on these cars is at the top of the auto food chain.

also went and drove a e550 with the dynamic seats and parktronic, the seats are a must have! my back hurts every now and again and damn did they feel good! also parktronic seemed ok, also took the cla out for a drive, very interesting car better then the c class I think, some things I like some I don't but the car is taking MB in a new direction.

Out Of Control!!
Had the exact same decision to make a few years back (Spring 2010)
Looked at Acura RX, Lexus GS350 AWD, Infinity M35x, Audi A6q, BMW 5 (X-Drive), E350 4Matic.
All were priced around 30K at 2 years or so and 35K miles or so.
(This was the bottom of the recession)
Ended up with the E-350, but selected one with a few more miles (42K) to get a lot more features (Loaded P2)
