Hunting a C63s Coupe
Newb Researching the E350.
Hello - Mercedes Newb checking in. Looking very seriously at picking up an E350 as my first MB car. I have several on my radar currently and I am trying to get an idea of what I should be looking out for as far as regular maintenance and replacement parts sourcing. Currently looking at the 2012-2014 year range with a budget of around $20k max at the moment. I have test driven a few and I was really torn between a BMW 5 series, the E series and a Taurus SHO, believe it or not. Look forward to the experience!

Full service documentation is always good to have.

Think twice
I’ve purchased 2 E classes in a row. Both have been regularly maintained and garage kept on both ends of my commute. They DO NOT HOLD UP as well as you would expect from a car this expensive. As with any luxury car, repairs are outrageous. I would really advise you to consider another vehicle. Good luck with your decision QUOTE=JakeM;7609347]Hello - Mercedes Newb checking in.
