Bought '08 C300 Luxury P1, Multimedia Package, 4k miles for $28,000 -- Good Price?

I just bought a 2008 C300 Luxury from a private seller for $28,000 cash. Here are the specs:

Condition: outstanding, barely used
Mileage: 4,500
Blue exterior, beige interior
P1 package
Multimedia package
SoCal Area

I also attached some pictures.

What do you guys think about the car? Was this a good deal? Did I get a steal?

Too late to contemplate the deal now, you already bought it. Sounds about right though, that's about 20-25% off sticker for a 1yr old car with low miles. Smarter purchase than most of us made, and you didn't even have to wait for it!

Enjoy the car and welcome to mbworld! Is this your first Benz?

Yep, my first Benz and I can't wait to drive it around!

I liked the look of the Sport too, but the luxury I found was too good to pass up and I do think that the luxury is a smoother ride.

Next order of business is to get my hands on a sport grille and switch grilles. It seems that most people don't like the look of the luxury and are happy when they switch to the sport grille.

New Sport Grille

Swapped out the luxury grille with a sports grille today. Bought a sports grille and flat hood emblem (new, genuine mercedes parts) on eBay for $200 flat and paid a local mechanic $40 to install. I'm really pleased with the results.
