I've ordered one of these on my salary sacrifice scheme because it was priced exceptionally well compared to the usual cars I get my hands on......

I know its probably not the done thing but I haven't sat in one (read lots of reviews, watched Youtube etc etc).

When I visited Mercedes they didn't have any available to look at (been 3 times) and the lease price was that good I decided using the PH adage go for deal not the car.....

That said does anyone run one have experience of them and could you give me an owners view?

Many thanks

I did the same when ordering my Audi Q6 Ed1. I wished I'd waited and tried one first now. I hope your story has a happier ending!

I was in one yesterday to travel across London - it was uber!

Very comfortable and some nice touches inside. The front dash was weird in shape but had a ll the toys you would expect. The ride was typical Merc for the E class level cars, very good. Very quiet too.

You're saving a lump of tax and your new car is practical, comfortable and has 450hp so I expect you'll struggle to not find it 'acceptable' at the very least.

Assuming 'prem+' in the title means premium plus spec, I think you get the air suspension too.


You're stuck with it now anyway, so you tell us what it's like when it turns up biggrin

Thanks for this, I stumbled across the EQE hidden amongst lower model Audi, BMW's in our salary sacrifice scheme spreadsheet, it retails at 40k more expensive than the cars around it for the same monthly fee as the lower models.

Its 1 model below the 600hp AMG model and has many bells and whistles including full Hyperscreen instrument panel, air suspension, 4 wheel steer, dynamic lights etc etc.

It reads like its quite a vehicle just wondering if anyone had any practical experience of it!

I am sure that it will be more than acceptable for me a simple northern chap!

Interesting that you say, priced exceptionally well.
The list price before options is about £90,000.

They have hardly been 'flying out of the showrooms', so perhaps that might be the reason for now being, priced exceptionally well.

I bought an almost new, 4,000 mile E200 for one third of the EQE list price.
If your new car is as comfortable and drives as well as mine (although it is 25% heavier), then I am sure you should be extremely pleased.
You will have exclusivity as well, because it is rare to see an EQE. I have seen several in showrooms, but only ever one on the roads.

Enjoy.

Saw an AMG one yesterday, it looked absolutely stunning (apart from the chavy side steps).

Thanks for this, EQE is going out of production so I am wondering price is to reflect selling off of last models. Starting to get very excited about the opportunity to use the Mercedes as its a step above other cars I have had previously. Will be sad to see my Genesis go though.
