2013 E350 Wagon
New S212 Owner!

Hello everyone! I just bought my first Mercedes, a 2013 E350 Wagon.

I've spent my whole life searching for a Japanese E-Class equivalent. 2010 Acura TL SH-AWD, 2011 Infiniti EX35 AWD, 2009 Lexus ES350. None could compare to the real thing, and all had their own fair share of problems. I decided I'd finally bite the bullet and get a real E-Class and see if I can handle the bills. I found a fully dealer-maintained, rural area, single owner S212 with 280k km for $9k CAD, and I decided to jump on it. I've left myself a decent cushion for repairs, but this thing doesn't need very much right now. I may decide to undertake some repairs myself - I've only ever changed oil and wheels on previous cars, but I'm excited to learn some more complicated repairs - if anyone here is kind enough to help!

Anyway, here are some photos of either the best or worst decision I have ever made.
