BMW Fan Get His Mercedes

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.
Wow

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

2008 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E350 4MATIC 4dr Wagon AWD (3.5L 6cyl 5A)

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.
