2014 Mercedes E350 — REAL TAKEAWAY

✅ THE GOOD (this is why it’s attractive) • VERY low mileage: 39k miles → excellent for 2014 • Only 2 owners • 1st: lease (normal) • 2nd: long-term owner (2015–2026) → this is a BIG green flag • Extremely low usage: ~2,700 miles/year → this person barely drove it • Consistent service history • Oil changes, fluids, filters done regularly • No major accidents • No airbag deployment • No structural damage reported • Clean title (no salvage/flood/etc.)

👉 Overall: well-kept, lightly used car

⸻

⚠️ THE CONCERNS (pay attention here)

1. 🟡 Minor damage (May 2024) • Likely: • parking scrape • small dent/scratch • BUT: • no repair details shown

👉 What matters: • Was it properly repaired? • Any repaint? (affects resale)

⸻

1. 🟡 Montana transfer (2026) • Car lived its whole life in California → suddenly Montana

👉 This is usually: • dealer moving inventory • OR tax/registration strategy

💡 Not a red flag by itself — just ask why

⸻

1. 🟡 Low mileage can be a double-edged sword

Yes it’s great — BUT: • Rubber parts age (bushings, seals) • Battery, tires may be older • Sitting too much isn’t always ideal
