Thanks for the post. I was thinking of ponying up a lot of money for an MB E350 for an upcoming trip -- same price as a 740i but with unlimited miles instead of 1050 miles (which won't be enough for that trip). The rate I got is just over $1000 for the E350 vs. $350 for a luxury class car. At least for $350 I won't be disappointed it the car has some scuffs, etc.
