Looking to for a new Used E350. Any advice
Hi I am looking at used E350's at Carmax and dealerships. Just wanted to check here prior the pulling the trigger on a car
1) Any major concerns in these model that I should be aware of?
2) I am looking mostly at the 2013+ model. When was the MMC for the E350?
3) Maintenance on Mercedes is obviously going to be more expensive, but are there any maintenance headaches on these cars out of the ordinary that I should be aware of?
Thanks for your help.

2004 E55 (sold) 2012 E350 4M
2013 Changes:
A new E400 Hybrid model joins the E-Class sedan lineup for 2013. All E-Class Coupe and Convertible models for 2013 get a new electromechanical steering system, plus standard heated front seats. E350 Coupe and Cabriolet models get new larger 18-inch 5-spoke wheels, while E550 Coupe and Cabriolet models include an 18-inch five-twin wheel design. Also, on the high-performance E63 AMG models, a long list of features that were formerly optional as part of the former Premium2 package are now included as standard. Across the entire E-Class lineup, the mbrace2 connectivity and assistance system is a new standard feature.
From this you will see there was essentially nothing changed on the E350 model. One suggestion I may have is do what I did, look for a MB Certified 2012. I purched my E350 4 Matic from a MB Dealer, 22k miles, loaded with the P2 package, wood steering wheel, for $32k. Also they had a special offer at the time if I financed it through MB Finance they paid for the A and B service AND made my first 2 payments.... Not to mention it has the same warranty duration as a 2013 would have being that its a CPO car... So at this point my only expense is a monthly payment. Maintenance is covered, warranty is good for a few years.. Let me know if you have any other questions.
