[Price Check] 2009 C300 Sport with 90,000 Miles

Looking to purchase the car from a friend. He's the original owner, serviced solely at the dealer and has the service history. Paint color is white.

Had 2 big problems. One was the ignition/steering wheel thing. So that's been fixed. I'll find out what the other problem was.

I'll make sure the transmission looks good.

What's this thing worth?

Thanks. It has a few cosmetic issues on the inside. Chipped coating on some buttons, hood has a small paint chip or two. One tire is fairly worn vs the other 3. Kind of odd.

I think I can get it for $9,500.

I have 135,000 miles on my 08 and things started going wrong at around the 90,000 - 100,000 mile mark. EIS/ESL went. Thermostat went. Wheel bearings etc.
If one tire is worn, alignment is probably needed and I would replace all the tires. I know Discount Tire is having a Labor day sale $100 with 4 tire purchase.

Check the maintenance history. Make sure oil changes were done. Make sure the EIS/ESL was done properly.

No idea on the price. I wouldn't pay much for it. I paid around $16,000 for the 08 with 80,000 miles on it at a dealership. I've put around $6000 in repairs into it.

Yeah. If it was dealer I'd say $11,000; at first it sounded like a low ball so I wrote 14 but nah, no way its 14.

If he is your friend, 9.5k sounds good, but if you can go lower, the better of course.

Thanks! EIS/ESL Are they one and the same? The ignition/steering wheel problem was already done by the dealer.

Car isn't too special on the inside. I get that it's a budget Mercedes. Outside, front profile looks great though!

I would call the dealership and see what was done/replaced.

I was told if the EIS or ESL goes faulty, both have to be replaced. That's what the dealership told me. Could be lies.

side note: When my dealership replaced both, somehow the dealership messed up the steering column and had to replace that on their dime.
