Getting E300 2018, but panel color is stopping me!

Hi all,

I'm planning to get a certified used E300 2018, black exterior with a beige interior. But I could not find one with black ash wood, all the ones I found in biege interior are with brown ash wood which I did not actually like it. So I just thought about getting that one and then change the panel to black ash wood but I'm not sure about the cost of that or if it is even possible. Any thoughts or suggestion regarding that would be great, thank you

I had been shopping for about a month, and then aggressively for about a month. None of the cars I looked at checked all the boxes -- mainly on the interior color. I wanted black on black. But, I would not, and did not settle. I waited. I looked -- a few times a day -- at Car Gurus, and sure enough, after a few weeks, a couple of cars came up that had everything I was looking for. Then about a week later -- the car came up! And I bought it! Be patient. Don't settle. Look around, keep looking. Good luck!

E300

I found so many black/black ones lol. So I was looking, and just found one in Mercedes certified in Florida, I live in Arizona. I was looking mainly in arizona and california so I can go and drive it at least. With this one in Florida, Idk how it would work. thanks tho.

Also, I'm looking for certified ones to avoid the hassle of checkups and maintenance. I guess now my only check the box left is to find one that is not moonroof

LOL...well, I didn't find many until I started looking aggressively, and narrowing down my search. When I got serious, I limited my search to 50 to 100 miles, concentrating more on the 50 mile radius. I had a couple of experiences, luckily locally, where I got to the dealer -- and the car wasn't there! Long stories, but frustrating. Also, yes, I only looked at CPO cars -- and limited my search to MB dealers as well! I really only wanted to buy from a MB dealer -- and I was only going to buy CPO! It was more than worth it to me, LOL. I bought an extended warranty as well. Good luck with your search.
