Good for you. You will like it. If you ever get where you want to read codes and such pick up a good, used Autel MaxiDas and you will have all the communication equipment you will need on it. MaKe sure it is MB compatible.

I maintain my cousins 2010 E class wagon and it is a good car that is, for the most part, easy to work on if you have the right tools.

Just be aware that the E350s come standard with what is still called MB Tex-Leather. It is different than the old MB Tex that was used for years. This new stuff is not leather, so the name used is misleading. It is also called Artico.

I have read that it is no longer vinyl but instead a non-PVC based material. From personal experience with our 2009 E320, this stuff does not hold up like the old MB Tex. There have been a lot of issues with the material cracking or separating at the seams, especially on the driver's seat. Ours is a W211 model but this issue seems to be there with the W212 models as well. Do an internet search and you will find plenty of reports on this.

If you have a problem with the MB Tex you can buy an expensive cushion replacement from Mercedes but I believe it is the same stuff so that isn't a long term solution. We have been trying to find a vinyl that matches our current seats but have not had success so far finding an exact match.

Maybe since the car you are looking at has every option, it has the leather upgrade.
