Hey Doc thanks for the reply. Can I take from your response the E500 4matic has the air susp. and the E350 4matic and E320 4matic don't? Further the air susp. is problematic/ expensive to fix?
Frankly 320-350-500 doesn't really matter. I want 4matic for the AWD. If all things were equal I would lean towards the 500 for the extra performance punch. (Don't put a lot of miles per year.) However, willing to sacrafice anything for long term piece of mind. I usually keep my cars 10 years/+70K miles minimum for total of 100K and look at the overall cost/reliability over the long term as the prevailing decision.
My opinion is things will get worst before they get better (market conditions) Thought is to buy now or hold off until January-Feb. thinking things will get softer. I'm not wealthy and work hard from my money and looking for the best value I can get. Any opinion here?
Your experience/ reply to this will be appreciated.
TIA
