The Mercedes E300 is the long-distance Mercedes in Saudi Arabia — the size most Kingdom buyers want, and quiet enough to make Riyadh to Jeddah pass easily. We have 10 listed, from SAR 56000 for a late-2010s car up to SAR 245000 for an early-2020s one.
How much does a used Mercedes E300 cost in Saudi Arabia?
About SAR 125,000 buys a 2020 Mercedes E300, going by what we have actually sold in the Kingdom; a 2019 averaged SAR 110,000, a 2016 SAR 79,000 and a 2014 SAR 59,000. Below that, condition and history matter more than the model year.
Which used Mercedes E300 year should you buy?
2019 to 2021 is the sweet spot. The W213 E-Class arrived for the 2017 model year and was facelifted for 2021 with the wide twin screens; the previous W212, built to 2016, is the cheap end and the one where air suspension and electronics turn a bargain into a bill. Buy on the W213 side of that line, and take the 2.0-litre turbo over an older V6.
Is a used Mercedes E300 reliable?
The bodywork is the good news. Only 34% of the Mercedes E300s we inspect in Saudi Arabia carry evidence of prior body or panel repair, against the 48% we would expect for saloons of the same age and mileage in the Kingdom — a clean record for a car that covers long highway miles. Repair history is normal in this class rather than a fault; what matters is the standard of the work, which the report on the individual car shows.
Does the Mercedes E300 hold its value?
It gives up a little more than the class average, which works for the buyer: a Saudi Mercedes E300 keeps about 42% of its value after five years against roughly 46% for comparable saloons of the same age and mileage. The three-to-five-year-old car is the buy.
Mercedes E300 or BMW 740?
The BMW 740 is similar money for a much bigger car, with mechanical faults on 11% against the 20% expected for saloons of its age and mileage here. The Lexus ES 250 is cheaper to own, at 4%. The Mercedes E350 is this car with more engine.
What to look over on a used Mercedes E300
- Panel and paint quality — judge the repair, not its presence.
- Air suspension on pre-2017 cars.
- Dealer service history in full.
- AC at idle.
