Apart from the theoretical retail price, I think these will be a great replacement for the aussie sedans, more than enough power for the job but excellent economy and the practice benefits of a wagon and SUV combined.

That said, whilst VIC POL won't be paying retail and despite these being a factory fit-out, I do question whether this good value for money.


"It might look like an ordinary Mercedes-Benz wagon but this model is not available to the general public and has almost twice as much power as the showroom version................The Mercedes-Benz All-Terrain that has earned its stripes for highway patrol duties is powered by a turbo diesel 3.0-litre six-cylinder versus the standard car’s smaller turbo diesel 2.0-litre four-cylinder."


Does anyone know what happens to these once they retired from use. With the the E400d not being available to the public, one would assume Mercedes wouldn't want these potentially effecting the values of the E220d versions. Are these returned overseas then?
