Too good to be true?
Is a 2000 E320 with 61000 miles priced at 13995 too good to be true?
Either its been wrecked or it was owned by some one who never drove it, right?
Thoughts?

sounds about right on the price....maybe even high. that year v mileage
would be low use. MBs do not hold their value well so don't think you're
getting a steal. it's not. but it's not a rip off either. just so so.
my 99 E320 has 59k miles. richard's E320 (00 or 01) has only about 7k miles

Yeah. It's at a dealer so course it's not a steal.
Just surprised at an average of 6700 miles per year.
How bout an ML320 2001 with 84000 for 11500?
What I'm looking for is safety and reliability in that order.

If you're in L.A I know a place that has a 2000 e430 sport for 10,500....
I wouldn't pay more than 7-8k for a e320...

TOO HIGH!!
Are you buying it upfront without a trade? If you are then make him an offer, they should be able to drop the price for you. But make sure to get it checked before you sign anything.

Too good to be true for the seller! Sounds about $2-3,000 to high to me. There's an '01 E55 that's been on SF Bay Area Craigslist with 77K miles for that price and it doesn't seem to be selling. If you're interested in this car make a lower offer. And first, make sure you get a pre purchase inspection at the dealer. Even with that amount of miles, if it hasn't been well taken care of it could need a lot of expensive work.

The car wholesales for $7500- If you like the car and it makes you happy when you drive it, AND it passes an indy's inspection, its worth $9000 in LA, tops. Good luck!

99' E320 4MATIC ESTATE / 92' 190E 2.6
It's sometimes hard to find here a 210 for less than $10000 in So Cal area. It took a year to find our 99'4matic wagon bought with @ 94000m. Paid 9500 and had to pay for big tune up at indy at 98000 knowingly...Very clean and good history/maintenance bought a year and a few months ago... add $700 for new rims and tires a one month ago/ put 10000+m since purchase and no other issues. I was looking for a w211 wagon so I could take over the 99' wagon. That way, Wife could feel a little more snooty in the w211 but after all I hear about recalls, etc... has me second guessing buying a used w211 wagon for around $16000-$19000. Perhaps I need to wait for the sweetest 2003 w210 wagon out there... Just let me know when you find one for me here in or around Orange County CA, and I am on it. Silver on black or similar only please and 4matic is cool as we frequent the local Mountains and I refuse to chain up! So find us a Gem.

And when they
drop the price to 10.5K they will sell it
The only way it would be worth even 11k would be if it was totally serviced,trans fluid,oil,brakes,new rubber,fresh plugs,diff, etc.
p.s. xenons add squadusch to the price of a used benz.

so you suggest playing hard ball with any seller. I get that. The hard thing is finding one...I guess i would have to find a nor cal car or look in and around central cal???? I just don't see many that are not trashed...

Not hard ball
reality ball.If it is a private seller they are basing the perceived value on dealer blue book most likely and in real world pricing,cash talks economy, dictates prices more in line with what people can come up with cash not what people think their xenon optioned car(that they think because it cost extra when bought new or they paid extra for when they over paid used was worth)
Some young guy up by me just had to have a w210 2000 sedan last summer,his finance wanted one. dealer said they were worth 17,999 but would let him have it for internet special 15,999
They sure let him have it,and you know where
hardball no,cash ball yes.
I could locate one,inspect it,service it,all tsb's and fluids,tune,modify and deliver one for touusands less than 14K.They are dreaming and reality will set in sooner or later.Or maybe they will find a chump like the dealer above found,who will pay far to much for his whistle.A pox on them if that happens

all i got to say is you get what you pay for.
i would rather pay 10-11k for a 2001 e320 in great condition with 70-80k miles with proof of all fluids/parts being changed, than to pay 5-6k for it without records of anything getting done, and end up spending thousands just the first year to keep up with maintainance or ending up buying a new transmission and having big headaches.
from what i have seen w210 in great condition with regular maintainance done on them don't sell for less than 10-11k. dealers keep them for $12-15k, and private owners sell them for $10-13k.
