Selling for a Mercedes SUV

This is an excellent car with classic styling. No issues in the years that we have owned it and low mileage. The model is attractive and the engine is powerfully smooth.

Except for couple of hiccups, its an amazing car

Looks amazing, drives wonderful. Seems like all of them have a rip on the driver side where the stiching goes across the seat. Mercedes definitely dropped the ball on that. Other then that, love the car

Best car I ever owned

Great comfort, styling,power,handling with over 30 mpg bonus. Light effort power steering that gets more sensitive as speed increases. Night interior lighting amazing. The company definitely follows their motto of "The best or nothing"

Beautiful styling and super reliable Car!

MB made a great sedan with this car. The 6 cylinder engine is a dream and the transmission bulletproof. Quiet and gorgeous understated elegance the car was very versatile. Cost of ownership was surprisingly low since it is so reliable.

Great looking ,sporty, and comfortable

Purchased a used Mercedes E350 Cabriolet and could not be happier. Drove it 1700+ miles on a trip without any glitches or problems. Love the look, color, handling, features, and (believe it or not) gas mileage (almost 30 MPG on the road). Only real complaint is the electronics for this age seem pretty dated. They work fine but just don’t seem on a par with other luxury cars from this year. Only thing else to watch out for is the “wood” trim coming loose from the heat. Glue that MB used really sucked.

Loved the car; Hated the Cost of Repairs

Pretty car, loved driving it when it was working. The repairs were outrageous - the last straw was the $16,000 estimate to repair motor mounts and ruptured transmission hose.
