E320 vs E430

Hi, newbie here.
I've noticed in looking at 2000 to 2002 E's that the asking price for E320 and E430 are nearly identical prices when similarly equipped. What gives here?

That doesn't make sense... Look at the mileage and possible damage.

Something is definitely wrong with E430. It should be thousands more than the E320. V8 vs V6 engine.

true, if the 430 is the same price it's either has something wrong with it or has high miles....

i've seen this true about euro cars.... if they have a lot of miles then there cheap to buy....or they can be salvaged

Why does everyone assume the 430 is priced too low, why can't it be that the 320 is overpriced or the 430 is older? Just adding a few more perspectives to rocket's comment.....

Ummm, if that;s the case, assuming the 320 is an 02 and the 430 is an 00, ignoring options, there is a chance that the two would be similar in price?
