Great car

The car meets all my needs. I will only trade it if another car would meet my need like my car. I love it.

Typical Mercedes value

The classic masterpiece lives up to what you'd expect from a luxurious German company. If you want the car for its comfort, looks, and reliability, this is the ride to go.

my favorite mercedes-benz i have owned.

just as expected from a quality german engineered machine, nothing but the best in all fields, the comfort is unmatched as is the styling and most of all the attention to detail. no cadillac or lexus will ever come close.

E350 Benz

This is a classic Mercedes Benz. It is built to last a long time. The problems, you will encounter are electrical, bulbs always going out and the interior seats get abused. However, it runs like its a teenager. Having the interior re-done to give it an update.

Pretty With Non-Disclosed EXPENSIVE Repair Needs

I love this particular car. I am familiar with this car because I had one before and I know that with the completion of scheduled maintenance and timely repairs, this car will last forever. I thought that I was getting a fair deal. What I wasn't expecting was the deception. The seller disclosed that the car needed two things, an EGR Valve and a visibly broken tail light. The seller also stated that the oil was recently changed and had about 12,000 miles left before the next oil change. Just 3 weeks later, I began losing oil. When I took the car in for service, it was discovered that the oil loss issue was because the valve cover gaskets were so badly disintegrated that the previous owner had to have known well in advance. It was also discovered that the vehicle requires approximately $3,000 of maintenance and repairs. These disclosed and non-disclosed repairs now make this car grossly over-priced. I am very disappointed with the seller.

Waste of Money

Got this car with 40k miles thinking it was a great deal! wrong.. this car was the biggest mistake ive made. with 40k miles im already having problems with some of the gears getting stuck while im driving.. the only way to fix it is to pull over and restart the car. and recently ive been experiencing ignition problems. where the car wont start, leaving me stranded. its happened 2 times already forcing me to call AAA to tow me back home. Then Mercedes cant seem to find an issue with it when i take it in, but still charge $200 just to look at it. in my opinion dont waste youre time or money on this car..

Well worth the money

I see reviews on here about the valve issue. That is HOGWASH - there is a part that could go bad on the top drivers back side of the Engine. It is a 50 dollar part and is called a valve position indicator takes 10 minutes to replace. I did have to fix a severed wire which caused the trunk not to open and the third break light not to work took me ten minutes to fix ( was previously done by Mercedes Tech - (SHABBY SLOPPY Work) All in all this is a excellent luxury car - save the money and do maintenance yourself. The car is an awesome deal for a 60K car now selling for 12 to 15K with reasonable miles 80K ish Love the ride, and options.
