After all the discussion, I went down to the local MB dealer to check. I explained than my Lexus lease was up in early December and I was looking for a replacement. He showed me a base E350 (plastic interior and no NAV) which he would sell at $12K off list or about $35K. I told him that this was not in the ballpark for what I wanted and he produced a similar car with leather and NAV that he would sell for the same price if I would agree today.

There are deals out there if you want to deal with the MB problems and have the last generation car. My ES350 UL is a much nicer car than even the equipped E350 and has more back seat room and trunk space. The sales guy even hinted at a "deal" on the 2010 but by that time I was tired.

I went by today when they were closed and there were at least 12 2009 E350's on their lot. They may have more in the back where I could not see.
