I agree about the car looking clean BUT were talking about a Mercedes Benz in Florida. No disrespect to these cars but its not a Honda,Toyota, etc.. were these cars are more likely to be negected. This at one point was a Expensive high end car so who ever owned it in the past of course took care of the car. So don't let the look of the car fool you,for all you know once you drive it could be a pile of crap but then again it could still be a great vehicle that it is know for. All I can say is again that the W210 Is probably one of mercedes Best built vehicles & engines they have every built I wish i still had mine till this day ;(. Good luck

I dig that engine cover. where can I get me one of those? That's the best example of smoked tail lights I've seen. I never wanted that mod, but after seeing it here..maybe.

It's obvious he kept up with it. If he has money to drop on small mods I'm sure he has money to keep her up to date. Ask for receipts but most importantly take her on a HARD DRIVE

The paint looks perfect. There are some guys who detail the paint much more contentiously than they change the oil, but clean paint would make me suspect it's been generally well cared for.
The mods, though, are purely cosmetic, subjective, and are just as likely to decrease rather than increase the value, despite what the seller hopes. I would get a PPI and get the price down.

+1 did you see the trunk? Looks like it has some kind of spoiler on it

I really think $12.5 is too high. You shouldnt pay more than $10.5 - $11K
Remember, buying used car always need spend some $$$ in the first 3 months, I would prepare $2K for the coming repaire expense.

$12.5 is much too high to pay... nevermind the fact that it was advertised for $12k. The seller reporting that he meant to put it at $14k is a line of Pure BS, because he can simply login and change the price at the listing whenever he feels like. It's a sleaze-bag sales tactic... which again makes me want to doubt the integrity of the car.

i noticed "07/03/2007-SARASOTA, FL-Motor Vehicle Dept.-TITLE (Title #:0095604700)(Lien Reported)... Should I worry about that? Or how can I make sure there is no loans on that car? (i think thats what Lien means)

Even more ammo here for me to tell you that this car is a lemon scented siren...
The car is originally from IL. Salted roads and W210s don't mix.
You will need to verify with DMV that the car is owned free and clear by the seller. You don't want it to end up repossessed...

Same here. I bought mine from a guy who was in Detroit and then IL. I've had it now for maybe 8 months and no problems so far (other than my LED's on my clock are intermittently going out).
