Truly a luxury vehicle

I just recently purchased my 2006 Mercedes E350 with 140000 Miles and so far I love it. I have read so many good reviews about it and my experience lines up with what I read. It probably would have been nice to have a diesel as far as the gas mileage goes but it seems that the sacrifice in mileage will be well worth it considering the driving comfort. It handles so smooth and the acceleration is more than almost anyone would need but nice to have when you do. It feels like it could have just come out of the showroom. As a bonus it has a top safety rating by insurance companies and said to be built like a tank. I mean what more could you ask for and at surprisingly reasonable price!

an $86,000 for less than 7K? This is an AMG sport.

This is the nicest car i have ever owned. Boutique dealerships like this allow you to get your foot in the door on vehicles you could never own otherwise.

SOLID COMFORTABLE AND IMPRESSES CLIENTS

E350 Mercedes is a very comfortable car with a good ride, excellent turning radius, reasonable performance, high-quality materials, just a solid package. Mercedes E Class is a car that earns respect and when clients see you in this car they start respecting you more because they know that you drive one of the best cars in the world. You are either in a Mercedes or not. This car was initially bought for $59,000. Buying it for a few thousand dollars is a bargain. This one does not have an air suspension and it is not as expensive to maintain it. If you are planning to maintain it at the Mercedes dealer, it will get very expensive. The secret is to buy OEM parts on ebay and then have a mechanic that specializes in Mercedes install them. Sometimes if you have a complicated problem it is worth it to take it to Mercedes dealer to diagnose the problem. Overall, I have been driving a Mercedes for many years and then I started buying new cars made by other manufacturers. Now I am back with an older E350 and I realize that there is nothing like driving a Mercedes. If you can find one that was maintained well, with a decent body and a reasonable price, it will be a car that you will enjoy for many years.

My second Mercedes Wagon & NOT my last.Love THEM

It’s a Mercedes with all the safety gear, gorgeous styling, and some xxx-whooping performance..The ultimate wolf in sheep’s clothing. My 5th Mercedes, my second Wagon, and I can roll up to a country club, a yacht club, or a Home Depot and folks immediately know that I am no joke...It may be a Station Wagon but it is the ULTIMATE Wagon on the planet..

If you can get a good one, it’s worth the money

If you can find a good DIY one it’s worth every dime. The engine on this car is amazing. If you can find a good fix it yourself one you will love this car. The car I purchased needed breaks, a tie rod, control arms, a regulator and had a transmission leak. I purchased some tools from sears and the parts and fixed it all for 800 bucks myself.

the car performs as expected

I have owned several mercedes over the years and all have been reliable but then I do the maintenance myself. This car is no different after 6000 miles from the 90,000 at purchase it is doing very well. It has needed brakes, batteries, there are 2. oil change which was neglected but seems ok after 3 changes to clean the engine. The w211 has good reputation and this one is no exception.

Most Comfortable Car I've owned

Great comfort, but the reliability is average. Had transmission problems when the car was 15K miles. Not tolerable gas fume exhibits after each fill up when the car was parked in the garage. Spent many trips to the dealer to trouble shoot both transmission shifting and gas fume problems.

This is a very reliable vehicle!

This is a very versatile vehicle. A perfect all season daily driver. I love the all wheel drive feature and it's perfect leather interior! It drives like a dream and it has a sunroof! Love sunroofs!
