Hey Justin! It has been a while! Not much is new, hopefully a newer MB in the future here. Just been working mostly tbh...slowlying coming to the realization that as tank-like as these 30 year old cars are...they are 30 year old cars and considering them a commute worthy daily driver can be problematic.

The car I'm looking at is a 2015 model year built in 10/14 I think. It sounds like it is after all these issues. Its only has 24K on it right now. Its CPO. They're asking in the low-mid 30s for it. My research shows its a OM651?

It has no airmatic systems on it.


I do like the styling of the newer W213 chassis but this E250 its pretty good looking too and has all the packages that I've been looking for and gets good economy. The few posts I've read over on mbworld and such indicate most guys get 36+ min on the highway. The w213 E300's appear to be in the high 20s maybe low 30's if you are careful. Comparatively that's where my 300D has been sitting. I tend to flog it though so 28-29 is the average for it. My 420 has been 17-19. The 190 I think 22-24.
