Replying to: frogger97 (Sep 29, 2009 11:33 am) to be clear that was a purchase and was for the car itself. tax titles and dmv is extra. After doing some research I think this was a very good price, the servicing is the 12 month or 10k mile a year oil change, tire rotation, and usually costs about 300-400 per year. Also was offered tire and rim insurance they asked 1295 plus tax I go it for 899 plus tax. This covers the car for 5 yrs and you can take it to any mercedes dealership, no out of pocket expense or deductible, as many times as you get a flat or crack your rim in a pot hole (I live in NYC so this was a very good deal for me). Thanks if you are in NY/NYC I can give you the persons number who I dealt with at mercedes benz of manhattan. They were really good. |

I'm not overly tall, but taller than most. I've looked at and sat in most of the cars competing with the Mercedes E-class. If you've tried one of these, and found it too low, drop Mercedes a line. The E-class sold nearly everywhere else in the world has the sunroof optional, and is listed as having 41.3" of headroom in them without, and 37.9" as sold in the USA with the standard sunroof. Since I sit 38.4" not accounting for hair, it's a no-go. Similar problems with most other cars. Personally, I think this is one reason we sell more SUV's and trucks in this country, because larger, taller people just don't confortably fit in most cars anymore since they 'mandated' the sunroof. I just have a thing about hauling around an extra 1000# and the lower economy and decreased handling if forced into an SUV verses a sedan. But, there's almost no choice in the USA. The humble Subaru Legacy sedan has more headroom with the sunroof than the Mercedes, and you can buy it without, too. One would get the idea tall people just aren't supposed to want a luxury car. If you feel similar, talk to Mercedes. BTW, at least in Germany, that 'standard' sunroof we get, really costs nearly $2K...whether you include it in the base price, or get it optionally, it still costs money (and the panoramic sunroof adds yet another grand to the cost). Personally, I'd rather spend that $3K on other things than a hole in the roof I don't use often and can live without. Maybe one of the optional safety features the E-class has available like the night vision system, or the adaptive cruise control. But, since 'everyone' in this market in the USA has one, everyone must blindly follow suit.

Hello. I'm considering buying a CPO 2007 E350. But many CPO CARFAX reports show that some of the cars were either bought from auctions or had prior accidents. I'm surprised these cars were able to pass through the certification process. I thought the point of buying a CPO car was to have a safety net that the car is in great condition. Is it worth paying a premium for a MB CPO car? BMW seems to be much more stringent CPO process. Thanks!

Replying to: wasabi911 (Nov 05, 2009 11:56 am) Try to get the details on the supposed accident from Carfax. I'll bet you cannot. It's easy for them to make a false claim, but very hard for them to back it up. |
