This is what Ewan Kennedy liked most about this particular version of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class: Luxurious, Roomy, Plenty of kit
The 2008 Mercedes-Benz E-Class carries a braked towing capacity of up to 1900 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.
The Mercedes-Benz E-Class 2008 prices range from $10,890 for the basic trim level Sedan Elegance to $40,480 for the top of the range Wagon AMG.
Most carmakers are going to fill-for-life on their automatic transmissions and the point I have made is that it's not a good policy for owners to leave it and not have regular changes. Automatic transmission mechanics would say the fluid should be changed every year or around 50,000km at the most. The Mercedes service schedule would seem to be about right and I would stick with that.

Your frustration is understandable. I would urge you to go back to Mercedes-Benz direct and request some assistance with the cost of repairs. While I doubt that Mercedes would cover the whole cost of the job, I would think they might cover part of the cost if you approach them in a reasonable way. If you don't want to go down that path consult an automatic transmission specialist and get another quote for repairs.

The Mercedes recommended fuel for the E280 is 91-octane regular unleaded, while the recommended fuel for the C180 Kompressor is 95- octane premium. While you can safely run the E280 on regular unleaded, and I suspect you could run the Kompressor on 91-ocatane, you will get better performance and economy by running them on the higher-octane fuel. Mercedes-Benz also approves the use of E10 ethanol blend fuel in both of your models, which might help you save a few pennies.
