Bought it on the sport yesterday. Very clean.

It was the guys step daughterss, she had the car taken away and her parents are/were selling it.

A freakin steal at $15,000. The KBB private party on the car is $19,700. I think I could sell it to carmax on the spot and get more than I paid.

He said she was dating this rich guy (she is 19) and his parents bought the car for her and gave her the title. THey were also giving her 1000K every 2 weeks spending money. She broke up with him because he went to a frat party with out her.

Her parents took the car because she stopped going to class and was partying all the time.


Here are a few pics.

One of my co-workers had to take the car away from his teenage daughter for the same reasons. Very sad.

But it sounds like you were able to benefit from her misfortune. Be sure to check the car over carefully for maintenance issues. If she was neglecting her studies (and life), she may have neglected the car. You may want to change the oil and all chassis fluids.

In any case, you really can't go wrong at the price you paid. Congratulations on your new Mercedes!

If you go to MBUSA online you can register as the owner of your car (need a VIN) and they will provide you with a PDF manual.

Just make sure you check the autocheck/carfax. That's one hell of a deal.

Sorry, but back to the tailpipes... In the 3rd picture, it looks like they are drooping a bit. I know mine are very tight to the bumper. I just don't want you to have anything fall off!
