#198 of 233 Re: Like Genesis but got a MB E350 [in_power2002] by bobad Aug 09, 2009 (6:32 am)
Replying to: in_power2002 (Aug 08, 2009 10:36 pm) The E is a great car at a great price, but I don't like the warranty. Also, parts and service are exceedingly expensive for German cars.   At that price, If Mercedes had better reliability and warranty, I would prefer the E350 to the Genesis, but it would be very close.

Replying to: in_power2002 (Aug 08, 2009 10:36 pm) Are you talking an 09 E350? I looked at them last week and with all the MB deals and dealer discounts, it still came to 43,700 on a base car. For one with the PO1 package, which is really needed, it came to 45K.   The main turn-off for me though was what the E350 does NOT have. Compare E350 w/PO1 to Genesis 3.8 with tech and it is a long list. EG: rear camera, parking sensors, ventilated driver's seat, xenon lights W/AFS, and then compare costs to own and maintain. You can get some of these, but they are individual options and are hard to find and costly if you do.    Would like to own an E350, but MB needs to work on their features and pricing.

#202 of 233 Great debate on 2 cars at same price by in_power2002 Aug 12, 2009 (4:15 pm)
Guess there's good comparison going on between these 2 cars. For those asking where I got such a good price, I didn't go to any dealers and haggle all day to get them down to the price. I'm a USAA member where I used their buying service. Pulled up car config on their website and went to the dealer they told me to go to with price pre-negotiated.   The dealers are running out of the 2009 E350s it seems. Where I purchased mine, as long as I liked black they had a car for me. I wanted NAV but they were all out of those.   It's good to know some people would still choose the Genesis over an E350 if they were the same price. We have options and one car doesn't fit all desires. I'm hoping reliability with the E350 is good. The people on the MB boards say the later model years have become much more reliable, now that MB has rid itself of the Chrysler baggage.   I was considering the Genesis for the price/value. I would have paid $40K for my E350 but don't think I would for much more than that. For $34K, it was an easy decision for me.

Replying to: carolinabob (Aug 11, 2009 5:35 am) Agree with you regarding the electronics. We've also got a Lexus IS350 and there are more creature comfort electronics in it. I care about the parts which count - engine, transmission, suspension.   I've got an older Accord where the electronic parts have started failing and I'm sure more will. Window motor, LCD clock, alarm system and a radio preset button that's tempermental. I assume anything electronic may fail.

Replying to: in_power2002 (Aug 12, 2009 4:15 pm) Have tried my USAA membership on Lexus and got a good offer (not that good though), but I would have to drive 150 miles past three other Lexus dealers to get it. Don't know about MB, but there are fewer of those around.     As for MB reliability, it has nothing to do with Chrysler as it has been an issue for many years on cars built in Germany with 100% MB components. This is the first year in a long time the Consumer Reports recommended an MB (the E class for one). For years, they recommended no MB models due to reliability issues.    Let's hope MB really is going to be reliable for years to come. Replies to this message: bobad (Aug 13, 2009 10:32 am)

Cost of ownership over 5-10 years is astronomical. Fix the poor warranty and the gremlins, and you have a great car that I would enjoy owning.
