E350 after 6 months
As I posted a while ago, our 2017 E300 was rear ended in February and declared a total loss. We needed a car quickly so were limited to
dealers' inventory. We preferred the E450 but the only ones available were black or white and without the equipment we preferred. We ended up with a
pretty loaded E350 in alpine gray--not a color I would have ordered but a very pretty car with a Tonka interior. While there are things I don't like
(exterior door handles, seat memory) it's wonderful to drive and--knock on wood--everything works. Getting 36 mpg highway. Much quieter and smoother than the E300. The purchase experience was pretty good--usual negotiations but pretty straightforward, arriving at a 10% discount--not bad considering they knew we were in urgent need of a car. Hoping the positives continue!

Sorry to hear about the loss of the car . W214s are one of best styled E Classes ever to me . Well, I think you did a right choice by picking up a loaded car . The only think I would have not preferred could be the door handles .
Congrats
Happy Driving
