Was this a good deal?

Hi! I just bought a 2011 4matic c250 from a friend of mine. The car is fully loaded with premium package, NAV/multimedia, and sports package. Car has 16777 Miles on it and is Calcite white.

I paid 33000 for it, Canadian. Was this a good deal?

edit: Also, hello MBworld. I've been lurking for a while!

You bought it, right? Then it's a good deal. You probably should have posted your question before you bought it.

Enjoy your ride, you'll love it.

Yeah, I should have. I happened to call my friend and he told me he was waiting for a guy who wanted to buy his car. I asked him how much and he said he was selling it quickly for 33k because he only has a few weeks to do it (personal reasons). So I told him I'll take it for 33k, he told the guy he was selling it to someone else, and now I'm the sudden owner of a Mercedes. I thought it was such a sick deal since I believe he paid 48k MSRP (Canadian) for it. Such a drastic drop, I didn't know Mercedes held their value so poorly.

LOL, I don't think it was a loss in value because it's a Mercedes but more like a fast cash sale because your friend needed to. Great deal though, enjoy your ride. If the Merc had poor resale then your deal would suck right, because you could have bought one at that price anywhere, yes?
