Get the VIN and see if the engine falls in the bad range. If so run away fast.
If not would probably be OK. See if it has the 722.9 7speed trans, probably
does, those are problematic in my limited experience. An earlier E320 with
722.6 is a good combo, I see those often on CL.

I think I remember hearing that the 211 is pretty good? I found a 2008 E350
with 120K miles. Looks pretty nice.
I'm trying to find a daily driver that I can pay $8000 or less. Needs to be
reliable enough for 600 mile trips every 3-4 months. I don't mind higher miles
if it has been maintain
