2014 E350 Coupe still worth to buy? Reliable?

Just want this year 3.5L V6 model as I don’t prefer to have the later model with turbo. Saw a decent one with low mileage. However, no original, or even extended warranty can be purchased. Any comment about the reliability? What to look into before I take out my cheque book?

thanks in advance, any opinion are welcome!

It should be fine. The E350 coupe underpinnings are really of the W204 C-class. The cars are pretty reliable, but maintenance is more expensive and when things do go wrong that's also more expensive than your average car. But I would assume you already know this.

Ah, to wax poetic about the 50's-90's when people bought used cars without warranties of any kind...

So right; I remember well the days when cars came new with 12 mo/12,000 mile warranty and no aftermarket warranty plans. After 6-7 years they were junked from rust.

With that sense, what about going for Class W205 like C400 instead? Or, are they just with same after warranty is gone? Thank you so much!

What year exactly C300 are you talking about? Some of these should be avoided. Also - the W205 cars that I've been in from 2015-2016 feel quite a bit cheaper than my W212.

Thanks your message! I’m talking about 2015 C400/2016 C450. I totally agree with you that I feel button on W205 is rather plastic.
