Thoughts on a 2014 wagon?
Good Carfax service record. One accident with no airbag deployment (front end damage pics look like a good repair).
Packages : P1, Lighting, Parking Assist, Keyless Go, Driver Assistance, Heated steering wheel and beige leather!
Ventilated front seats (401?) and multicontour seat (432?).
So it seems pretty good (OK no panoramic sunroof....).
Dealer offers a 1 year, 12,000 mile warranty (to be questioned in detail but I assume it is for major stuff).
It seems reasonable.

810 PREMIUM SOUND SYSTEM - The brochure states that the B&O system is unavailable in E350, so I assume this is standard stereo

Keyless Go - as this is a wagon, is this just the keyless go option or the package?

I am being pretty spoiled with the ventilated/massaging seats though!
I am amused that the front-end was damaged in an accident despite all the technology - but then again, I have driven on the Beltway and know that the only technology that will prevent accidents on that ****show is the teleporter and avoiding the damn thing altogether!
I am not sure why the Lighting package shows as 608 and 640 though. I checked a pretty plain 350 that did not have those options vs an E 63S where it is standard and it did have those options. I guess 2015 is where the 319 option was used.

Pano roof is so overrated IMO. I have it on both my E's and would rather have a standard roof 1. It creaks and pops. 2. Daylight in always coming in from overhead. 3. The blind has to be fully open to crack. I'd rather have a solid roof where I can crack the roof without opening the shade.
Diver's assist is awesome, as are dynamic seats. Both of mine 212s only have a dynamic drivers seat (even my 16 wagon) and both of my data cards lists 432 DYNAMICS SEAT,FRONT LEFT AND RIGHT. I also have 608 & 640 full LED on the 16.
Going to Raleigh tomorrow to look and at hopefully purchase!
Oh, BTW, I can't believe at least 50% of wagons have a black interior!
I have the panoramic roof on my E550 and have ZERO issues with it. I've only opened it a few times but it's smooth as butter. No leaks, no squeaks, no pops, no anything. Yes, light always comes in. I've driven it in 100 degree heat with no problem, no noticeable heat leakage, Having said all that... I would prefer to not have it as well... simply because I don't use it, and not having it means it's less can go wrong with the car.

But the wildest thing. It was a long day. I left Raleigh at 7:15. 3:15 and 250 miles later I was closing in on my hotel when the Attention Assistant alerted me it was time for a break! Damn, it was actually right! I never expected that to work. To be proven wrong on the very first day of ownership is pretty staggering.

Looks like we were shopping around the same time. I ended up with a black wagon with beige interior. Also has the standard sunroof on my wagon instead of panoramic roof. The active multi-contour seats was great on the long drive home.
