Need Help Identifying a Car

[-aiko-]

Okay, so I'm a complete dummy about cars. Seriously. So I'm hoping someone can help me identify a car.

I was driving home from my lunch break and saw a car parked in front of a dealership. The color and shape just screamed "me". So I snapped a shot of it out of my passenger and didn't know where to start. Here's a picture:



If I can find out what it is I can start hunting for good deals. Thanks!!

It is obviously a Mercedes. Is this new or used?n Guessing used as I don't see anything that boxy on the current models. Too bad you didn't get the back of it cause that is where the model number is.

It was gone by the time I left work sadly. That area is customer parking though so it wasn't for sale.

Judging by the back end,It looks like its a E series benz. it will set you back at least 50k. could be a c series tho

Its an e class mercedes. looking at the rims its a lower end model of it. it may look nice at first sight but if you decide to buy a benz with that color you will have HARD and i mean HARD time selling it later on.

Looks like this is it (different color) it is a Mercedes Benz 2011 E 350 only reason I am guessing this is it is the side panels are the same.

Also current model is the 350 and it starts off at $50,000 + for the cheapest you can get.

I don't know my Mercedes to well, but it "looks" like a E 250.

Picture.

It's amazing how much a difference color makes. The car in the OP looks cheap -- strangely -- because of it's baby blue color. I assumed it was an economy car.

Thanks guys! The 2010-2011 E250-E350 models are in my price range (~$20k) and are looking very much like it.

I wonder how hard it will be to find in that baby blue color. Ah well, the hunt begins!

I'm guessing that is rare as I only saw like 4 colors when searching auto trader. The one I found had 30k miles and was $30,000

Was going through my old threads for fun and thought I'd update this one:

I searched and searched for my dream car and ended up instead finding a deal that I could just not pass up. Bought a 2004 Jaguar XJR for $6500. It's got a damaged front window (only noticeable from the inside) and some scratches on the front bumper, but is otherwise in great condition. I plan on fixing it up and re-selling it eventually but it's such a smooth ride.

Keep the XJ I only suggest it because one of the chairmen for this company has an E-class and he's a dick. So I generally associate all E-class drivers with being dicks.

But Jags are associated with Arthur Daley, so which is better - dick or spiv?

Now I'm feeling bad about driving a Jag at all.
