Its a 2012 E350 4matic. Premi 1, wood and leather wheel, rear shade, folding rear seats. Would have liked xenon headlamps, but wtf, this car was available, so I took it. Pristine conditions. And not to be sexist, it looked liked it must have been primarily driven by a woman (turns out I was right). Since buying the car I bought all season mats, and a sunshade.
Been fortunate to have had other really nice rides before. I have a 1993 BMW 325i, a 2000 BMW 528i, a 2002 Volvo S60, and a 2006 Audi A6. So I would not really call this my dream car- that probably would go to my original BMW. This car was sort of abs impulse buy. I saw the car on Tuesday and bought it by Thursday. I still have my other car, a 2009 Honda Accord V6 which has become a beater car.
Of my prior cars I've noted, the Audi was the most reliable, the 325i was the most pure and direct driving car, and the 528 was probably the best car at straddling luxury and sport. The S60 had and, but was otherwise forgettable. My ex wife had a 1996 A4 which was pretty nice too.
At this point my plans are to keep the W212 a long time. not going to fiddle with the engine or suspension. Might get a set of wheels and tires for the winter.
Other cars before that- 79 Celica, 73 and 78 Grand Prix, 77 Datsun 810 (ugly but a great ride), 82 Stanza, 87 and 91 Maximas

Lunar Blue? I like it, a lot. If I could change colors on mine from the ubiquitous silver, I'd choose Lunar Blue in a heartbeat.
The purple Mopar in the background is NOT my cup of tea - on many fronts.
'82 Stanza? Was it badged as both a Datsun AND Nissan. Many years ago, I drove an '82 Datsun Nissan 810 Maxima. It seriously had all that on it. And it talked (fuel level is low, door is ajar, etc).

It's the silver '13 that I didn't take. Had a Stanza- yup- Nissan/Datsun. Identity crisis time. And the Maxima talked. So does my navigation! I seriously like the Lunar blue.
