It’s a hard color to find. The 2016 is probably the best year for the w212.. you can code Apple car
Play into this year. That said it’s a very solid car. I would buy it if that’s the color you are after
Carvana is only barely an auto retailer. They don’t care about any product, their profit motives are via financing. They really are more of a lender than a retailer. Just happens their “vehicle” for their loans is vehicles.
Eh… they’re actually fine. Shady, sure. But if you properly do your homework, get the car thoroughly inspected, and understand that generally, their cars are priced 3-5k+ above your local market, then they’re actually very good. I’ve bought two cars from them, a BMW and a Mercedes, and they were fine.
I've got a 16 E350 and absolutely love it. Idk about value because that seems high if I'm being honest but the W212 is pretty great car all around & reliable so if you're fine with paying a little extra I say rip it. Also love the color of it personally.
Carvana has massive inventory but I don't think I'll ever use them again. Prices are top of retail and you have no clue about the history of a car (compared to buying from original owner that's local). My Carvana S550 used the 100 day warranty to the tune of over $8,500. This was the only reason I didn't feel screwed. Still have unresolved issues and they fought me on every repair, but I love the car and just dealing with repairs myself now.
Its overpriced, but if its of value to you and you want it go for it. Those cars are very reliable and solid. Will last you a very long time. But I dont think its worth $25k
Id say around $20k-$21K max, miles are helping it a lot. I looked at it on their site, looks like a pretty basic model. There is a black one also (I think lower miles) but more equipped with the full LED lights. They. are amazing at night. Same price though.
Yes. Right now rockauto is out of stock, probably $1500 or more when it is, on Amazon they have it for $2300. And that's each one so x2. Then you probably need programming on top of that.
In order to find the one with the lighting package, look for the headlights with two rows of >> or <<. If it has the bottom row of LEDs in the headlights, then you don't have the lighting package.
The lighting package gets you active curve illumination and auto high beams.
I have a 2015 e400 I got an email a few weeks back saying its worth \~$13k
This being almost double seems odd given that information
but market dictates the price, these cars (good condition w212) aren't easy to find.
KBB for most luxury makes is considerably under market right now - they havent done a good job of adjusting.
Often times there are *zero* cars available in KBBs Fair Market Range.
Not sure about the price comparison US/EUR, however that would be a bargain price if it didn't have issues and had a clean record.
Carfax is very clean and well maintained, no issues reported but planning on getting a MB pre purchase inspection done..
Around 2339 EUR in price

Is there any video on how to code it for that specific year?
There is a guy on Facebook that everyone uses. Just look at the w212 groups
Don’t buy a Carvana car if you value your money
Carvana is only barely an auto retailer. They don’t care about any product, their profit motives are via financing. They really are more of a lender than a retailer. Just happens their “vehicle” for their loans is vehicles.
I had a great experience with carvana smooth and easy sale. I even saw they ended up selling it for a small profit.
Selling to Carvana is fine. It’s purchasing that’s the problem.

Overpriced because it’s a great vehicle. I think 25k is a LITTLE too high.

What would you say it’s valued at? The used car market is so fucked right now everything’s over priced.
Id say around $20k-$21K max, miles are helping it a lot. I looked at it on their site, looks like a pretty basic model. There is a black one also (I think lower miles) but more equipped with the full LED lights. They. are amazing at night. Same price though.
We got one with a bit more miles than this for 18k.
Did you pick up from a local dealer?
Yes, we have a mechanic in the family, inspected the shit out of it, after a small negotiation we went home with it and my wife called it Benzy.
Is there a difference between LED headlamps and “full” LED lights?
The full LED are much brighter and clear. The one you are looking at (brown one) is not the. full HD package.
Gotcha. I think what really made me want it is the color. Hard to find! Thanks for the advice. Would an upgrade for full LED be extremely expensive?
Yes. Right now rockauto is out of stock, probably $1500 or more when it is, on Amazon they have it for $2300. And that's each one so x2. Then you probably need programming on top of that.

More than I bought mine 2 years ago
I have a 2015 e400 I got an email a few weeks back saying its worth \~$13k This being almost double seems odd given that information but market dictates the price, these cars (good condition w212) aren't easy to find.
Buy that sucka. I got. 2014 with the ttv8 with 17k miles on it and it’s the best car ever.
Too expensive for a 16, even with the low miles.. too… expensive… you can get a 2015/2016 S550 for that price with all the bells and whistles.
Don’t ever buy from carvana, they literally do not check over the car just buy and flip em.
Get a w222 s550, just got mine for less than that. Incredible car.
Too high. Blue book is $21,000 https://preview.redd.it/xtn2oh3cuq8d1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5d383b2561842c149054ff1efb60575dfbcf433b
Seems like everything I’ve looked at is selling higher than the KBB value. Especially used cars
