2007 E280 Avantgarde Estate
After 213,00 miles in my S211 E280, I'm treating myself to a newer replacement.

Been looking on Autotrader and the other sites for a few weeks now, but no joy. Am I searching for a unicorn? Ideal spec is as below:-
  1. E350. W212
  2. 2014-15ish, £15 to £20k, not worried about high-ish miles.
  3. Premium or premium plus trim (got to have full black leather and memory pack)
  4. SE would be preferred as I favour floaty ride over rubber band tyres and a hard ride
  5. Full airmatic (I know they're all air at the back)
  6. Silver
Does my dream barge exist?
 
Is that a petrol E350 you are after?

If yes, then yes, you've got a search on your hands just on the engine I would wager

Plenty of diesels, very few petrol.

Should cover most available.
3. Premium or premium plus trim (got to have full black leather and memory pack)
Black interior very common. Premium / Premium Plus less common.
4. SE would be preferred as I favour floaty ride over rubber band tyres and a hard ride
Was the 350 ever available in SE trim? It wasn't at the start of production (2013) and wasn't at the end (2015/2016), but I'm not sure about the intervening period. Towards the end of production the 350 was only available in AMG Night Edition trim.
5. Full airmatic (I know they're all air at the back)
Only the estate (S212) or the E63 in either form has air suspension at the rear as standard. Full airmatic is rare as rare can be.
6. Silver
Lots of silver cars.

In short you are searching for a unicorn.
 
So after 5 months looking I gave in and bought a CLS350 Shooting Brake instead. Full airmatic, lots of extras, just fab!
