I think I may have found one. It's 2011 in color Designo Magno Alanite Grey Matte with 39,000 on the odo for $44,000. Per the datacard card has Premium 2, Rear Seat Adjustment, Rear Seat Climate control, AC in the rear, Panoramic sunroof and 19" AMG wheels with Sport Package. One thing I'm concerned about is that it's been at this one dealership for over 181 days.


Is there anything to be cautious of being that it has sat so long? Thanks.

Looks like it's sitting on a Honda dealer's used car lot. Probably won't find a lot of buyers for a $44k used Benz on that lot. This probably gives you good leverage in working out a deal.

Prochambers

I'll see what happens on Saturday. Thanks.

38k is what they are into this car for. Offer them 40k and kick and scream to 41k if you really like it. Good luck.

DaveW68

LOL!!!! Did you match up the VIN number that the OP didn't provide to you with whatever auction data you might have? Did you call the dealer that the OP didn't provide and confirm that they did nothing to the car to get it ready for sale? Did you call the F&I office that the OP didn't provide and see how much the floor plan is on the car?


Just wondering.

alx

Wonder no more. I did all of the above and then some to arrive at my magic number

Prochambers

I was saying the same thing over here. Lol!

It is a trade in. A dealer will take a car for at least 1k under wholesale (for 40k car) so if they can't (or would not) sell it on their lot they can break even at the auction.... And I know what a mid level optioned 2011 s550 is worth at the auction. So.. This one is easy.

Hope this helps

Any wrty? Service 1done?

Prochambers

Still has about 14,000 left on the original MB warranty. There were services done at 10,000 and 20,000. Trying to get more information though. I'll find out once i'm there at the dealership. Definitely will get a PPI done before purchase (if any). Thanks.

Just find a cpo one, the price is right there. Unless u get a great deal and extend the wrty.

Prochambers

Still considering that option. Trying to stay within a certain price point! If all is good, then I will definitely extend warranty. Will that be possible thru MB?Thanks.

1bad540

if the car I still under fact wrty then yes.

Prochambers

Thanks.

i would not touch a ny car with a 30 foot pole. visually it might be up to par but suspension and engine-wise most are basket cases or will be in the near future

1bad540

Im not saying a Nyc black car guy, maybe your familiar that Ny is not just the city right?

wilassasin

I like that Designo Alanite Grey man, has a lot of nice options too. Could be the owners or managers car. What are all the options?

wilassasin

I've purchased a few vehicles from NY, never had any issues.

alx

LOL!!! A very basic car at a high price being sold by a seller with no Ebay rating.
