Buying My first Benz !!!! I need your help people

This is my first post everyone so sorry if it's boring. Long story short I'm looking to finance a car. I rented a 2012 e350 then a 2014 e350 for a year but the weekly payments were dumb. I still fell in love. Fast forward I went to Helms Bros. got approved for a 41,000 dollar 14' E350 coupe sport package. Something told me no. This is not the best deal I can find. I started researching and comparing and I really like the 2010-11 E550 sedan. I'm looking for you guys opinion on what I should get as my first Benz within 7k - 23k range. Any dealerships in the tri state or beyond that would get me a great deal and just personal experiences. All replies are appreciated!

2014 Mercedes E550
41k for 2014 E350 is definitely high. I got my 2014 E550 for about that much with less than 20k miles. But I had to go out of the tri state area, couldn't get a deal around here. Used cars.com and found some good deal out of state and ended up buying mine from Delaware.

If you venture into the 212 section there are lot of information about the E class.

Just a suggestion to OP. You post seems to be focused exclusively on price. Nothing wrong with that per se, but just understand the older the car you get, in order to stay within your budget, the higher your repair bills will likely be. Nothing wrong with buying a six or seven year old car. Just make sure you budget for the inevitable repairs. If the car you are looking at has airmatic, I hear that can be one of the more costly repair items. Anyway, good luck in your search.
