E350
Please help me decide! 2010 E350

Hi All,

I've been in the market for a use E350. I found one around my price range. it's a 2010 Mercedes E350. 1 owner. Clean Carfax. Fully loaded. 40K miles buying it for $22K. Do you think this is a good deal? Only problem I have about this car is that it like almost 7 years old. I am planning to go look at it this Saturday. What you guys think?

Thanks

Do you have any info on options? Kind of hard for me to tell with these small pictures.

I have 12 in the same Silver. They are great cars and price seems fair. One thing, at 40k make sure it already had its B service, otherwise you are in for $450+.

does the car come with any warranty. like 90 days most dealers give?

Post the VIN number. I think $22k have some negotiate room. For another few thousand, you can pickup a late build date 2013 with warrenty. You hate to find out repair work is need after a new car purchase.

Seems high to me. If i could get $22K for my well optioned 2010 E550 4Matic with 55K miles, it would be gone.

Thought that grill might have the distronic shield. That's a great feature to have (so I am told). But other than that, it's not really full loaded like a premium 2 package - unless it has stuff you haven't listed like keyless go, parking sensors, etc.

Do you have a independent mechanic to inspect it or do you plan to take to dealer for pre-purchase inspection? I assume seller will let you do that - they should.

E350
VIN# WDDHF5GB1AA095031.

This guy is retired and lives in palm springs. He getting rid of it because he got a tesla. At first I told him $20K and he said $24,500 then I told him $22K and he agree to it. But from the looks at these comments I might have a second thought now.

also I think for 2010 the transmission needs a service at 40k. that's a pricey service. make sure that it's been done.

Thanks a lot guys, I decided to not get it from what you guys are telling me. Prob pick up like a 2013 or newer. I just think $22K for a 7 year old car is pretty pricey.

Cheers!!!

Watch this guy come back to negotiate. Takes a lot of patience to sell privately.

No doubt. He had the bird in the hand. I would not go above $18K with little to no options as it sits. They are a dime a dozen.

It's not bad, has a few features like keyless go, power trunk closer, distronics, folding rear seats, driver assistance package, and bixenons. It's missing parktronic, real leather instead of the MB-tex, pano sunroof and a few other minor options. I wouldn't really call it fully loaded, but then again very few E350's are fully loaded. Lots of people like to use the term just to describe all the standard options. It's actually pretty rare to even find one that has the P2 package which was the bixenons and the keyless go. Distronics is also pretty rare. So not fully loaded, but probably more options than 90% of the other E350's you'll find out there.
