2012 E550 4matic?

I have the opportunity to buy a 2012 E550 4matic with 130,000 miles for $15,000, the car has been serviced about 3 times a year (Just for maintenance not because of problems) for the past 5 years, no accidents,and has only had 1 owner. I'm only hesitant to buy because it's getting up there in miles. Can anyone share problems they've had with their E550 and their opinion on whether or not I should buy it.

Don't bother here is why. I bought a one owner 2011 E550 4 matic, AMG package fully loaded black exterior tan interior sedan. 21kmiles on it corporate car. Mint pristine for nothing. Drove it for a year sold it to a family member. If you want more details PM me. Forgot to mention it was a regret I let go but upgraded anyways

I am at around 36K miles on my 2014 E550 the only problems I have have had are: (1) start/stop malfunction; (2) auxiliary battery needed replacement; and (3) front brakes warped.

I wouldn't be concerned at that mileage so long as all the maintenance is documented. TTV8 FTW.

My point ari, is he should pass it up. He can find a w212 e550 clean history less miles for 15-20k.

Yeah, just wait for one with less miles, the price difference won't be significant.

What options does the car have? Overall condition? Curb rash on the wheels (pet peeve of mine)? New tires and brakes? How did it drive? Colors? One owner, and dealer (hopefully MB) serviced is nice, and $15k is not a lot of money for a 2012, but not enough info....if it's a base w212 I'd probably pass, but if it's loaded (P2 and distronic) and the right color and condition, mite be worth a look..post the VIN or pics if you're unsure of the options.....good luck

Autotrader.....within 500 miles of me (for 2012 e550), lowest was 20k (stripped) and highest was 30k

Buy it. Put a tune on it and you will be grinning from ear to ear. Like Mitch says, post the VIN so we can help you with the options it has. $15K. What can you lose? If you blow it up, part it out.

It’s a Designo special color. Diamond white. I have Diamond white and it’s amazing. Brown leather. Lighting pack, keyless go, lane tracking, etc.
