2015 E350 Store Manager car with CPO pricing query

Hi,
First time posting on this forum. I am in the market for a E350 4Matic so was looking around locally and found the following car.

The local Mercedes Dealer has a Store Manager driven 2015 E350 4Matic with 12,420 Miles on it. It is Black on Black with Premium Package, Sport Package, Keyless-Go Package and Lane Tracking package, Rear Deck Spoiler and Comfort Box.

There price with CPO is $44K. Wanted to see opinion on price. KBB value looked to be close.

Also are there any additional warranties or plans that are recommended. researching on the forum, I see some have recommended wheel and tire package.

Thanks

when they tell you a car is being driven by the store manager, that means it's being use as a rental or a service loaner.

Stay away from it as far a possible.

My wife's leasing a 2014 C250 that was a service loaner for its first 8k miles. Not a single issue, no smells stains or tears, not even a creak or rattle in the past two years. She'll probably turn it back in and get a different car but service loaners are not bombs waiting to explode.

OP, if you're concerned about the quality of the vehicle get an independent inspection before you purchase from a master mechanic you trust. Sounds like a well-equipped E, my 2016 E350 is equipped similarly. I actually love the comfort box.

Actually, it's probably true since most dealerships give their managers a "demo" which is subsidized by the manufacturer. It the carfax report shows the car has been registered, then it's not a demo.

I thought demo cars are registered to the dealer.

Thanks for all the advice. I did check with them to see if it was a loaner and they stated that all there loaners are C series and ML series which I saw quite a few on the lot.

The carfax report looked clean.

Demo's are not registered. Service loaners are.

And with only 12,000ish miles on it there is lots of warranty left. I don't think it would be a problem car.

Although 12k miles is a bit much for a demo.

considering the new body style (2017) is coming out this month perhaps, 44k is way too much for that body style. You can get a 2014 with under 35k miles for around $27k-$30k.

The cheapest 2014 CPO I have seen is $32k, but does not have keyless and 4matic.
