What to do? What to do?

Ok so, im looking at buying a used 2008 E-350 but im having trouble.

-2008 E350 28,000 miles. P1, Pano, AMG appearance package and 4-matic. 39k


-2008 E350 23,000 miles. P1, pano, Sport and 4-matic. 34K

Should i spend more and get the amg appearance package? Or would it be better and cheaper to get the sport and add the E-63 Bumper?

scrap both of those and get yourself into the beast (E55). you could find a nice 06 for that amount of money.

You'll get more low end torque with the AMG appearance package but more rwhp with the E63 bumper. It's your choice.

I just got my 07 E63 for 39k last month. 35,xxx miles. Skip the 350 and go AMG. Best decision I've made in a long time.
