I bought my car 2008 MB E350 4Matic with 94,000 miles on it and its a great car. I have owned Cadillacs,Lincolns,BMW,Corvettes,etc but I wanted to go to a Benz as everyone told me I would love it. Well they were right I love this car and I will buy another one when this one is done. Only draw back is expensive for oil changes and such but hey you wanna Benz you pay the piper....LOL :)

This is the ultimate hauler. I use it for my daily commuter car and weekend trips with family and dog. Why get an SUV when this does it all. Looked at the Porsche SUV - but it had less room and was not as fast. Handles fantastically, but no too jarring unless the handling set on hardest setting. The best part is I will probably never see another one going the other way on the road.

Braking noise & quirks have been completely resolved from earlier E models. In fact,braking is excellent in terms of both "feel' & response at any speed including into curves. Steering has now a really nice degree of response at both high/low speed. Fit & finish just beautiful. Although car not broken in yet, I'm getting 10.8L/100km (about 27 mpg) highway without using cruise-control @ 120kph (75 mph). Extra power available through all speeds. Seat comfort very good. Paint & exterior fit integrity excellent. Quiet interior. Cargo area large & usable. Audio/phone/car computer controls on steering wheel easy to learn. Heat/cool systems accurate. 5 speed transmission nice. Road feel is there, but not harsh.

Leased this car after leasing an '05 E500 4matic. Like this car almost as much as predecessor. The 350 is missing a few features of the E500. Opted not to get the E550, but why does the E350 not come with the passenger rear view mirror tilt when in reverse, and also the trunk lock button? Also, they stripped the digital hvac function down to the old dials. Finally, the iPod system is disappointing. Why in the year 2008 it doesn't route through the COMAND like the satellite radio, navigation and regular radio is beyond me. It's way too clunky right now. Hopefully, they will address this in future models just to catch up with Ford and Nissan electronics.

I traded a 2004 E320 (the best car I had ever owned) for a 2008 E350 ostensibly to get 21st century cup holders and an ipod kit. I got much more. Although the skin is very similar, the guts are all new and vastly improved. I got the Sport model and the handling is phenomenal. This is my third E Class (my wife had an E320 wagon). Each has been extremely reliable. I have always purchased CPO Mercedes and have been extremely happy with the performance and, of course, the savings.

I've owned 7 BMW 5 series vehicles. The last one I had was a 535i, but it rode so badly and had many problems When I got my new E350, I was really surprised. I got the Sport Package, which stiffens the ride a bit, but not as harsh as the BMW. I've only had it for a week or so, but fuel economy is good (not great) and the handling is stupendous for a Benz. I only hope I don't have problems with this E350 as I see many people have had some problems, but can't be as bad as the BMW535i.

I am so happy with my E63. It has awesome power, yet it's a comfortable ride for cruising. The car is versatile, and flexible. I've owned 3 MBs now, and this car is by far the best I've ever had. What a rock solid car.

Bought new E350 in may the car performs very well. Expect a rapid depreciation the first 6 months of about 40%. Purchased in May for $53,000, trade value in December was $29,000 with a peak of $30,000. Car is pristine. Tried to trade for an 09 could due to the depreciation.
Buy it, maintain it, and you will love it

The is my 2nd E class, the other is 2008 e350 wagon, which is also fantastic. I have owned a lot of cars and I have an engineering background. This e550, for a sedan, tops everything so far. I bought it with 125k miles, with good service records from the previous owner........I think that is the most important factor, when considering the purchase of an older German car. These cars will run as long as you want if you provide good, regular maintenance. In 2008, the car sold new for $65k, and 11 years later in 2019 I paid $60k less than that, super value. I expect to maintain it well and that should cost $3-5k per year. Funny, every time I see another one of these cars on the road it is usually an old guy like me behind the wheel, I am 56. It took years of driving every other make and model to understand the value that you get from German engineering and craftsmanship. It is a beautiful car, that does everything very well, great pleasure to drive. The 550 is definitely a big step up in features and comfort from the 350, though they are both excellent. I have become very used to the utility of the e350 wagon, so I will see if I can adapt to a sedan. But I know it will bring a lot of satisfaction either way. Go ahead and buy one (with good service records) and if you take care of it, you will not be disappointed. UPDATE: Fall 2019 we purchased W212 Wagon 2011 E350. Nicely optioned car, with premium interior, touring fuel tank, hid steerable headlights, rear air ride, front coil springs. This is another excellent car. I like the wagons better than the sedans. These older Mercedes are just a good value. If you are willing and able to afford to maintain them, you get one of the best cars in the world for a bargain price. No need to pay dealer prices , because there’s plenty of independant shops that specialize in M-B.

The Car I Always Wanted

I bought my first MB, the 350 AWD, fully loaded, in Nov. 2007. I have now driven 6K and nothing about this car has disappointed. I have not had a single problem or needed to take it in other than for the 1K complimentary check. Everything works, everything fits. I for one find the oft critisized Command system just fine though the GPS in my part of world (Southwest) seems to lose mapping capability much more than my wife's GPS in her Highlander. The MB is a dream on the long stretches, has the best soundproofing & a perfect stereo to match of any car I have owned. I have truly found the car of my dreams - I may never change brands again.
