I just joined this forum after purchasing my "new" MB. Technically it is used (6700 miles) as it was traded in after two months of ownership to an Audi dealer for an SUV because it wasn't big enough And yes, I did purchase it sight unseen on the internet.
I'm a longtime "Longroof" (station wagon) owner, trading up from a 2002 VW Passat wagon. VW no longer sells a mid-size wagon in the US.
I just purchased a MB Extended Limited Warranty (ELW) after reading the Warranty thread in this forum. See my post there for my ELW purchase experience.
Please excuse my cross post from the other new owner thread.
If you don't mind telling, how much did you pay for it? I am just eager to compare the prices in my country to USA. I currently have a 14' E200 (2.1l, 136HP) sedan with the quite pathetic standard 16'' alloy rims and no extra features whatsoever. It had around 115,000 miles under it and a price tag of $35,000. With a quick Google I found a 2014 E550 with loads of features and only like 50,000 miles on it for barely 30 grand in Colorado. Is this true that cars are so *******g cheap there?
Here in Finland a 2014 E350 (the biggest engine option available after E63 AMG) with around 10,000 miles on it costs roughly $60,000... A new 2017 E350 on the other hand starts at $74,000.
I paid just over $53,000 including taxes and dealer fees. The original MB window sticker price was $71,520. I was specifically looking for a E350 Wagon which is actually very uncommon in the US. I believe only about 2,000 are sold in the US by MB each year as the US is the land of the SUV not the station wagon.
I suggest checking eBay or CarGurus (https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/l-Used...nz-E-Class-d76) to get an idea of what is on the US market. CarGurus is nice because it tells you if it considers the price a good deal and by how much based on age and mileage. I stumbled on CarGurus when I was searching for an E350 wagon and my car was listed as a "Great Deal" by them.
