Hoping it finds a new home.

Sorry but Im thinking your car is worth about half your asking price...

Thanks for the reply. I've responded to several PMs and other emails from the Craigslist ad....most people want to throw an offer in or see where my "bottom" is without even asking to see the car.

As you know - on older cars in particular - condition is absolutely key to value. I think we all have access to autotrader.com, ebay and craigslist and other sources and see what other like kind/age/mileage cars are going for, or what the asking prices are.

If someone wants a $3000 roach-of-a-car with significant problems that they'll have to immediately dump another $2K-$3K into, this is not the bargain they seek.

I won't entertain any offers without an individual at least asking some diligent questions about the car or without asking to see it or request an inspection be made.

I'm not in the wholesale business, but would rather pass the car on to another enthusiast (in which case I'll gladly be flexible on price).

Yesterday, I accepted an offer of $5900 after a thorough inspection and hour-long test drive by the purchaser.

Thats a very respectible number. I got 7500 for my 93 300ce coupe 2 years ago and I had 149,000 miles. With the the way Mercedes have been falling in value lately your giving me hope for my COnvertible THat I will be selling soon. Congrats...
