Hello all, I am in the market, I have found many but not the one. I have a few must haves, pana roof, park assist, keyless go sport package, the wife wants it in Cardinal red, but I will take black. I have found a nice fit at the Catonsville dealership, they are asking 35,989. I think that is a bit much, but they seem to be firm on the price, so I will keep looking If someone has or knows where I should go, let me know.

I think it's the options driving the price. Panoramic Roof and Park Assist are premium options and if you are looking for Cardinal Red, it is not that common. The price is a little high, but not ridiculous. Is it a CPO?

zipsman03

Yes it is a CPO vehicle. But still I am thinking they are asking premium pricing.

Most of the 2014 CPO cars are in the low 30's here in Chicago and it is the mileage that dictates the price. Most of these rolled out with P1 and maybe blind spot/lane assist on lease. Some still have 16-20 months of original warranty and can be bought in the high 20's at several private dealers as non CPO. I would buy one of those and forgo CPO. No value to me to get an extra year that may be worth a thousand bucks at most. See Jidd Motors here. They have several 2014 E350's with less than 20K miles at or below $30K These are great deals for off lease cars.

I am in the same boat as you. I am looking for a 2014 CPO E350 or E550 that is FULLY loaded. Pano, LED, parktronic, distronic, real leather, multi contour seats, AMG 18" rims, keyless go. Airmatic (on the 550) I mean everything. 350's are in the 30-35 range depending on miles. 550's are 35-45 again depending on mileage. I have 14 MB dealers in the New England area looking for my exact car.

best of luck

@ The vehicle I am after also has the leather package, heated and ventilated seats. 36600 delivered from Baltimore to Pierre SD. I thought 35500 was more than adequate. I will keep looking, saw a e550 being sold by a private party for 36000 CPO, wish I would have taken it. You may have seen it, it was in S. Carolina.

KEY08

Mercedes of Hoffman Estates here has a 2014 E550 4Matic CPO with every option including Distronic for $36K. I mean every single option available. Black/black.

Key08 where is that dealer located? Can you send me a link?

They sell fast, so you need to move on it if interested. Loaded like this is rare.

Did I hear someone say 2014 E550?! Sign me up. No pics on the link though.

KEY08

Maybe I'll take some when I go buy it. ha!

thefisch

You're too late. I should be there in 18 hours.

apg231

Pics of that 550 are now up. It doesn't have Parktronic or Airmatic.

sorry to steal your thunder OP

KEY08

Ok, well, you got me. Throw it aside then.

apg231

That is the struggle I am having Key08. Every time one comes up in my area that looks loaded, I look it over with a fine tooth comb and fine something missing. Mark my words, one day I will find Atlantis, knock out Bigfoot and steal his Unicorn.

Still looking? Seems like most E550's are at the MB dealers which you can find through their site. Places like craigslist, cargurus, autotrader, cars, etc don't seem to have too many. At least you don't have night vision and driver assistance package on your list, those are also pretty rare.

dubber350

Good Luck. It took me 9 months to find what I wanted. Also check cargurus.com That is how I found the 2014 e550 I am driving now.

cetialpha5

Yeah, that's the problem. You should go to MB's website and try pricing out a new one with all the options, the price jumps quite a bit. Most cars you find were ordered by dealers so they didn't load them up too much otherwise the list price is way too high and people end up in something else. You're probably looking for a car that was custom ordered and there weren't that many of them to begin with. You're probably more likely to find an S550 or an AMG that has all the options, but the price is a bit more.

KEY08

That is exactly correct. There is no doubt the E550 I tagged was a custom order and is already a unicorn.

fintail

Someone ordered leather and drivers assist but not lighting. Why?

cetialpha5

Happens all the time, probably a dealer because that would push the price over some threshold.

fintail

That makes sense. My E250 is similar - (virtually) everything but drivers assist, and loaded diesel cars seem to be less common than gassers. Original MSRP was 69xxx - pushing past 70 would have crossed an unspoken barrier, no doubt.

zipsman03

Update,
I bought the car for what I felt was a good deal, but trying to get someone to bring it is where I think I did ok. I paid 700 for delivery, the dealer says he was at almost 2k due to no one runs to South Dakota. Its already 2 days late on leaving, but they are telling me it will be here within a week.

Congrats on your new purchase. I just recently has a similar experience; see here: https://mbworld.org/forums/e-class-w...ml#post7120329

I was looking for an 2014 E550 with what I want for a long time. I couldnt wait anymore and had to get one without all the features I wanted.

I did get close though

Black on black

all the features you can think of pano roof, driver multicontour seat, compartment box, rear folding seats, airmatic, premium package 1, lane tracking package and hell it even has 115v AC.

Only thing missing is the lighting package and surround view cameras thats it which I am slightly regretting since it looks hard to add that in now.

I just wondered person ordered everything but left out the cool lighting package and surround view cameras...
