This is my first MB, so I'm very excited!

First, I'd like to thank Mike Margolis for helping me with all the ins-and-outs of making this particular purchase. He not only provided his personal experience with his MB, but also sent along MB forum articles, dealership specials, etc. So a sincere debt of gratitude to Mike. 

My previous car was a 2007 Volvo S40 that was purchased mid-2006, so we certainly got a lot of use out of it and it still has life left in it. My mother-in-law's Volvo finally died after a life of 340,000 miles, so our Volvo will go to her with only a comparatively young 125,000 miles on it. 

Without further ado, my CPO 2013 Mercedes-Benz E350, P1 & luxury package. CPO (13k miles), provides an extended warranty that is good until December 2017 or 100,000 miles. The only additional option that I purchased from the finance manager is the pre-paid maintenance. It is basically half the cost of paying for each individual service, which occur at 10k mile intervals.
