Soon to be an E class owner!

Hi guys!

I am buying an E350 CDI around 2011/2012. I do about 30k miles a year. If I buy a high miler should I have any problems? I hear these are good to go for 300k if looked after?

Service history and regular fluid changes are more important than miles in these beasts...
350 absolutely the right choice...
Good luck in your quest

Epic choice, congrats!

Good choice Al, you'll be remapping once you've read up on the potential with the V6...
post some pictures when you get it home please.

Great engines BUT check it has had the Oil intercooler seals done, they tend to fail and 6-8 hours labour for 2 parts costing £4.50 each

You is the Man Big Al ...lovely car .
Also ATF oil and filter change every 40k .

Really nice motor in a great colour

Estates are cooler

Good choice!

The 265 motor is the one to have and the sport trim provides a sharper look

As you are running different sized (width) alloys front and back just make sure your local tyre emporium don't mix them up which is easy to do

Enjoy the car they've gone a long way towards restoring MBs reputation on quality

Well done !
