Hi Aditya,
Would be in the range of 21 to 24 depending on the inspection of the vehicle.
Wishing you good luck with the buy!
Get the vehicle inspected by mercedes dealership. They charge around 12k and imho worth every penny.

Hi Rajesh! Do message me or reply to this post if you're still looking to sell your e350.
I'm actively looking for a similar example and came across one advertised by a dealer. 2016/17 e350d done 20k kms. Stock. Single owner with showroom track record, he claims. I do plan to send it in to a dealer to get a pre purchase inspection done and then go down to see the car personally before finalising.
Could you guide me what the market price should be at this time and what all to look out for?

Thanks in advance!

How has your ownership experience been so far? I am also on the look-out for a well maintained used w212 e250 facelift. It's my first luxury car so I'm a bit nervous whether I'd be able to handle the maintenance costs, or the embarrassment of an unsuspected breakdown. My family is totally against me getting a used German, constantly bugging me to buy a new regular car, but you know, nothing else matches the pride and joy of owning a Mercedes! It has always been an aspiration. I have heard the the w212 is fairly reliable, but i don't know any owners personally.

I would totally recommend you to for it , it has a reliable gearbox, engine and does not have extra features like air suspension soft close doors which usually go bad. This is also one of last "Tank Feeling " Mercedes in my opinion, the new ones after are longer modern, feel lighter and also have the smaller engine e220d instead of the fabulous e250d.

I owned my car for 2-3 years after buying it 2.5 years old and the Ac compressor failed which had to be changed other then that the car had no issues just normal service was done, brakes changed and tyres changed. Parts are easily available and not very expensive.Sadly my car had an accident in which it got totalled, it saved my life as i was driving when someone in a honda city rammed into my door at 120 and flipped over my car. From a safety point of view too I would recommend it.

I think you should go for a 2015-16 model and run it for years to come , its a beautiful car

I am glad that you were safe and unharmed. The very fact that you could walk out alive from such a horrific crash and live to tell this tale is a true statement of the built quality of Mercedes.

I am planning to keep the car for atleast 5 years, so a 2015/16 model make sense.
Thank you so much for your feedbackl!

Please do share pictures if you get the car, what is your budget. I would recommend you find an e350 and keep the car longer, this car can easily run for long. Yes doctors said the car saved me and since then we only buy germans for the highway

My budget is around 20-25 lakhs. I would love to get the E350, but at this price range, I might not get a '15/16 built car. How would the fuel efficiency be on the city and on highways for the E350? I know the E250 gives good fuel economy, and more than enough performance for our narrow and congested Kerala Roads! its really difficult to find decent roads down here that are good enough to enjoy the power of a 6 cylinder engine.
