I went to Mercedes Benz of Richmond yesterday and drove E 350. E 350 is a very beautiful car. I asked the guy if E 350 has security camera and he said no. I told him I wasn't ready to buy E 350 because if someone would key my E 350 I would feel very hurt. I brought my new Jeep Grand Cherokee in 2018 and someone keyed my Jeep. E 350 is an expensive car I know some said everybody who have expensive cars must have garages. Why would some people to be jealous at hard working people drive expensive cars.

[@BraithBamkin]

Thank you for a great video. I’ve just moved from a C-class to this and am feeling there are a lot of features I’m not finding or getting (your video explained a few). Does Mercedes do some sort of features guide for tips and tricks?

[@automotiveguru]

Glad to hear you found the video useful. Mercedes does have videos on some topics but not many. Thanks for commenting!

[@janetwebb4658]

Is the a way to dim the dash display while driving at night.? Loved the video-very helpful.

[@automotiveguru]

Yes, there is. On the right side of the headlight adjustment knob there is a display brightness wheel. It is recommended to adjust this wheel up/down at night. I'm glad you loved the video. Thanks for commenting!

[@millikenway]

Thank you, very useful and practical. I am getting the E450 in a month time, we just don't have many available at dealerships in Toronto. Watching you makes me feel good about my new car with so many hi tech stuff on it. By the way, your voice is very crispy clear, good for you and for us viewers.

[@automotiveguru]

Congratulations, you will not be disappointed with the E450. There is a limited supply here in CA as well. Thanks for the kind words and commenting!

[@millikenway]

@@automotiveguru Hello, so nice to hear you echo back. Well, during the pandemic time, dealerships doesn't sell many cars and they don't have many to sell either, meaning as buyers we have not much room to bargain from the MSRP price list. This happened to me. I wondered how much percentage reduction an average dealer can do and still be willing to sell an E class during non pandemic days? I found no leads whatsoever from the internet. Can you give some pointers here? Thank you in advance.

[@automotiveguru]

@@millikenway Interesting, there has definitely been a change in pricing since the pandemic. In the US, dealers are not discounting the vehicles nearly as much as pre COVID. This is due to a limited supply of vehicles and an unforeseen surge in customer demand. Anytime there is more demand than supply, prices rise. I would assume depending on the vehicle and dealer, many would agree to sell the vehicle for invoice. Although I expect you will see a shift in supply vs demand soon. Especially when the worldwide chip shortage is resolved.

[@millikenway]

Thank you for your thoughts. I agreed with your demand and supply logic here. The interest rate is so low now it is good enough going financing the car anyway.

[@taurusview9]

Good for you, I am still kicking myself for not getting the E450 4Matic...dealer kept on bringining the price down and greed took over and got the E350. Hope you are enjoying your 450.

[@iqbalzaidi]

I have a E450 2021 with inbuilt dash cam and mercedese me. Please load some video for a detailed walk through these functions in canada

[@davidhowell7380]

Bought 2021 E350 and found your video very helpful. But, how to set so steering wheel retracts when car shut off to exit?

[@automotiveguru]

I'm glad you found this video helpful. In order to have the steering wheel move you will need to go to settings, then select vehicle. After, you will select automatic seat adjustment. On this screen towards the bottom you will find the seat & steering wheel and steering wheel only options. Hope this helps and thanks for the comment!

[@AI_superminds]

Congrats, David!! How is your experience of 2021 E350? Worth going for it? I am skeptical when I saw its reliability and overall rating. I love this model though.

[@sofiagoodman3679]

You're a very helpful but if you could go through the mort in a detailed way would be great I still don't know how to set the time

[@automotiveguru]

Thank you. In order to set the time on a 2021 E Class you will need to locate the vehicle icon on the screen, then select settings, then scroll down to time and date. Hope this helps!

@@constantconnie Yes! Demand is high and supply is low. Many manufactures are stoping production due to CHIP shortages. I just heard today Mercedes-Benz will be affected by this as well.

Minus the NASA command center in the cockpit the interior is very blah. Not a fan of the wood grain. Its trying too hard to be chic. This vehicle has some kind of identity crisis is the best way to describe it. Exterior is boring and recycled. I wish they would go back to building elegant roadsters made for driving. What happened to you Mercedes?

[@mikedavis1352]

Why would you buy a Benz when you can get a Hyundai with more styling, more reliability, better gas mileage and more features for less

[@graphicalsolutions]

I had 2 Hyundai's and they were really good cars but I had a CLA250 and now an E450 and there is no comparison to the comfort and luxury of the E450 to the Hyundais- if you drove one, you'd feel differently!

@@mikedavis1352 if I went through my whole life worrying about stuff like that it would drive me nuts. You have to just enjoy your life and not worry about every little thing that could happen. You could simply cross the street and get hit by a bus but that doesn't stop me from crossing the street. Chances are very slim that anything would even happen in the first few years anyway. My old CLA didn't give me one single issue in 3 years...buy one - try it - enjoy it!

Great video it’s really used buddy , I’m considering a slightly older version E200 mild hybrid or the latest E300 plug in hybrid because where I comes from the price cost for E200 at $185K USD and $265k USD for the E300 . It’s massively expensive but driving a E class or S class are always my number one choice … Keep up the good work buddy and may you stay safe and healthy.
