Marcus, if this car hadn't sold direct through MB Finance, I assume it gets auctioned, bought by a dealer, CPO'd with a warranty, and sold. Can you comment on how much more expensive the car typically gets during this process?
Meaning if you were to pass on this deal, wait for the car to pop up at a dealer as a CPO, and buy it with a warranty, how much more would that be likely to cost you?

That car would probally have done about $500 to $750 more at auction plus auction fees of @$400 plus shipping $400 plus CPO @$2500. These are the creme of the crop cars though as well.

Heres another with no options (Pewter) and same mileage for $30900 (and this is a previous forrum members car that was totally raped)

So all in all I think these are good deals on great cars!

Thanks for the insight. I take it you're saving $1,500 in fees, $2,500 in warranty (CPO), and however much in dealer profit ($1,000 to $3,000?). I imagine most people don't actually have $2,500 in repairs over a CPO warranty, but I'm sure there are some big exceptions.

I checked with my friend at MB and they can not offer one only a MB dealer can. This topic has been covered quit extensively and I think there a few good ones. Karlson bought his 06 from MB finance and I think he paid @2500 for a Chrysler one.

Looking forward to a great deal on a S around the end of year. Maybe we can do biz!

emoving are you a used car broker or work for a mb dealer?? I only ask since I see you sell a lot of used mb's on here .
Also the above car looks like an '04. I only say this since the '05's had the new wood sliding center console and this one has the old '03/'04 center console. My '05 E55 has the wood sliding center console.

WOW thats a real early one. I have never seen a 2005 with that center console. All the ones I've come across had the wood sliding center arm rest like my car does. It's great that you work for the state of Ohio and have so much time to help your friend sell cars. I only asked if you sell cars because you drive a Porsche and are all over these forums selling MB cars. Just thought you were a car broker or did MB Sales. Sorry for the mix up.
