I have three (3) choices, all happen to be convertibles



What are your thoughts.


  1. 2015 E550 - Convertible, with 65,000 miles (A207)

    2016 E400 - Convertible, with 63,000 miles (Least expensive) (A207)

    2017 E400 - Convertible, with 45,000 miles (Most expensive) (A238)



Let's assume all three are in top tier condition. Saw the E550 today and was quit impressed.



Please share your thoughts.



I have been buying older cars, and feeling like a more current car. Last car was a 2002 W210 - yep, 22 years old; good but tired. (And yes I have the 86 R107)
I like the look of the c238 much more, the 208 just doesn't wear the lines as nicely. That said, my vote is also for the e550. The 4.7L engine can be tuned very easily over 500hp as well.

I have an earlier 2010 e550 sedan (with the naturally aspirated v8) and love it. If I have to replace it itll be with an e63 or another e550.
