Not quite.
The used "$30,000 E350" will be worth $10,000 (if that much) in 3 years - it'll be 6 years old.
A new 2011 E350 lease for 2-3 years will not exceed that out-of-pocket any more than a smidgen. Besides, the new E350 will be 100% net repair cost free. The used E350 will be an at-risk net expense, and be worth jack at 6-years of age.
