Extended warranty on 2009 Mercedes
 
I would not buy that particular car. Whenever there are two different tires on the front end of a car being sold by a dealer, it means the car has not been properly maintained. Also, the price is way over what I would pay for a car with 48,000 miles and an E350. I truly believe you are looking for trouble if you buy a car sold as is. If the dealer is a Mercedes dealership, they usually don't sell cars without extended warranties if the are reputable. Be very cautious!

I agree with the other post. I would not buy that car. Repairs on MB are very costly and not being a certified car with the tires as you mentioned can be an issue.

I am going to assume you are getting a conquest incentive ($4000 or so). Yes, that is an excellent price for a 60K car.
 
Good Luck!

I wouldn't worry much about even 100 miles on a new car. It's likely that the car was used for some test drives....and test drives really don't tax the car very much at all. As long as it's sold/registered as a new car with the full warranty (less that 100 miles, I guess), I wouldn't sweat it at all if I was getting a great deal on the car I wanted.

For a 2009 E350 with over 40,000 miles on it, and considering it is the old body style with old technology, you should not pay more than $25,000 including that it is certified by Mercedes and has 4 low mileage tires that are the same brand and size. Remember that the car is 4+ years old. I sold my 2009 E 350 sport with 7000 miles on it in January of 2010 and got $39,000 for it. They had $6000 rebates on those 2009 cars because of the body, transmission and technology upgrades. Most people bought those cars new for $43000 back in April of 2009. So you have to take that into consideration as well!

If anyone can suggest on negociating on the CPO prices at the dealer , that will help as well.
 
Currently the best price I have seen is $41000 for 2010 with 38k miles.

2010 E350 with 38,000 miles...
 
First of all, make sure the car is certified by Mercedes Benz. Secondly, you should not pay any more than $38,000 for the car. Remember, there is a new engine out in the 2012's. They had tremendous incentives on the 2010 E350, so most people paid about $47,000 new for the car.
 
Offer them $36,000 and counter their offer at $38,000.
 
Good luck.
