Sorry not sure what you mean as in short list of cars to view or do you mean as in spec?
Ok so I’m looking for a 350E I am actually going to see one today which has a good spec and ridiculously low mileage I hope what’s on paper lives up to it in reality a bit upset to hear about the sound quality in the cars but I’m sure there’s a diy upgrade by now
Kind regards

Hi sweetooth,

I m sure you would find useful advice on the electronic & audio forum.High quality audio would be lost on me I've had tinnitus for 50+ years

Welcome to MBClub 
Mercedes offer several levels of hifi, standard and usually one or often two options. This because the profit margins are higher in options than the base car, and so they want customers to add options to increase their margins. The standard option will be OK - probably great for the uninitiated and shocking for the aficionado, but OK for everyone else.
I’ve only ever owned one Mercedes with poor audio - 2003 ML270 with standard audio - and switching the head unit to a Becker Mexico transformed it, even with standard speakers. Likewise I’ve only ever owned one Mercedes with excellent audio. The rest have all been OK with standard audio or pretty good with the upgraded audio.
Sounds like you know enough to be able to sort the audio yourself
