Best Time to buy an E350 4Matic?

Now that the Memorial Day 2016 Promotion has passed and I am unsuccessful in locating an E350 I wanted, when is the next best time to buy a 2014-2015 E350? When does MB run their next set of promotions? Finally, what Options do you think are worth hanging in there for? Thanks.

Maybe 4th of July sale?

I would suggest try to find a car with the lighting package. To me, that's the the biggest difference maker.

Keyless go. Many other cars now have it available.

Just been working on same problem over the last few months. I've found a 2014 which I will probably go for. LED was high on my list which I found. DISTRONIC as well bit don't seem any of those available so I will go without that - might be a buy vs lease thing, most of the cars available now of that age are off lease I guess. Good luck. Prices seem good right now, might get softer after the 2017 debuts.

CPO prices should go down a bit once the 2017s roll out, right?

December 31 at 6:00 PM. Nobody buying cars and dealers and sales staff need to make their monthly/quarterly/annual sales goals.

Used 212 values won't change measurably as a result of the 213 coming available - totally different market (new vs used cars) and totally different buyers.

The 213s will most likely be on sale this month and they will launch with mediocre sales programs (high money factor, no trunk money), dealers will seek to hold some gross profit. The remaining new 212s are already priced against the 213s and will look like a deal in comparison. Dealers aren't exactly holding gross on remaining new 212s at this point.

I would argue that the biggest risk (buyer's opportunity) with respect to a 2014-2015 E-Sedan is an increase in used 205 C-Sedans coming into market. A 2015 C300 next to a 2015 E350 really shows how dated the 212 is.
