Buy a 2014-2016 instead
Get a 2014-2016 instead. I owned a 2014 E350 for 7 years. I loved it. Someone t-boned it and it was totaled in 2022. I bought a 2021 E350, figuring it would be as good or better. NO WAY. The 2014 is part of a model line called W212 - it includes 2015 and 2016. After that, although OK, the model line is W213 (2017-2023)
