What are you looking for New, lease, pre-owned?

Let us know which one of those first and then we can narrow it down for you. I personally have a CPO 2014 E550 that I just got in May and I love it!

Very nice, what options does it have? If you search through my posts (I found Atlantis, Knocked out Bigfoot, and Stole his Unicorn) you can see that I searched for over a year to find the car I am driving today. I was very specific on the options I wanted and my persistence paid off.

Plenty of guys here who are super knowledgeable about these amazing cars

What exactly would you like to know? I have become the Mercedes SME (particularly the E-class) over the years, so I am glad to help and offer my opinions.
Same here, I found the rare & magical unicorn I now drive today---took me a while to find it, and my patience and persistence paid off too. I love my perfect beauty!

Very happy with my '14 E350, right after my '10. Lots of options out there when they're built. Keep looking and if CPO, ask for service records. My best advise is to drive many to determine which options are MUST vs. nice to have. Then, go shopping.

apg231

Find a sales brochure for a 2014 E Class (look online) to get familiar with what options where available and like samking said make a list of MUST have vs. nice to have. For me everything was a must have and that is why it took me so long to find my perfect car. There isn't an option on my car that I don't use, so be patient and don't settle.

Sounds like it's pretty loaded aside from the lighting package. My cars had the bixenons so they all had the active curve illumination which is noticeable on on/off ramps. I think I've seen some E350's with cooled seats, that used to be just the E550's. But it's hard to find one with all of them, I think they got rid of night vision in the year you're looking at. I think people like the driver assistance package, not sure if you have it or not, it's distronics, blind spot and lane keeping, but you could get the later two without distronic. Anyway, if you get it with a one year CPO, go to the extended warranty subforum and pick up an extra 2 years of CPO, usually it's a lot cheaper than getting it from the dealer. Also depending on the mileage, you could get a maintenance package too, the B services are more involved than A service so if your next three are B A B, it's better than getting it with A B A.

In order to get the cooled (technically they are ventilated) seats, you need the leather seats, not the MB Tex ones. Ventilated seats along with the active multi contour driver seat was a definite for me and the reason I switched my search from a E350 to the E550 because the 550's come standard with leather package and the 18" AMG rims (another must have for me)

Lots of good suggestions to the OP. So heres my $0.02 worth to add. A M-B Data Card showing the cars build date, options, etc. A search here for threads on Data Cards will get you one for the car. I'm assuming that you have a Carfax report, if not then get one. Shop around for a CPO extension if you buy the car. Good Luck.

Which color white is it? That would make a difference for me. Mileage & price seems good for that year. I see that it doesn't have Lighting Package (which is a must-have for me and a few others here). Does it have: real leather, Distronic +, Active Ventilated Seats, Active Multi-countour Driver Seat, or Parking Assist Package? Those are highly favorable options...are those deal-breakers for you? If so, you may want to keep searching until you find the right car. I was very determined to find what I wanted, and although salesmen (and women) will try to sell you anything and convince you otherwise, I stuck to my guns until I found my unicorn. Follow your gut, you should be fine.
