Question I passed up a deal on a 2003 S430 4MATIC. Good choice????

Today I was driving by a dealer and saw a 2003 S430 4MATIC. Had 75k on it and had the Mercedes Extended warrenty. They where asking $17,000. I was really considering it and they wanted to give me a good trade in................But I passed on it. Did i make a mistake??????? Very clean looking car but the miles kind of scared me away.

I can't understand why the miles scared you away.
I've got 112K on ours. 17K is pretty short money.
How long would the warranty last?
I seem to recall it was 6yr/100K

the CPO warranty on my 2004 expires on 12/31/2010, so this 2003 example is probably going to be expiring soon (a few months) unless the warranty is not the CPO program and/or there was an extra year added on somehow

CPO or MB ELW can go up to 7 yrs or 100k from Original in service date. So 2010 expiration is possible for a 2003 model.
