It's very well equipped, pano, keylessGo, low mileage for 04, very nice color so the price is fair. Good maintenance history is a big plus !

Ask him when did he get the fuel sending unit/seals replaced ?

Weird, the guy spends 9K in service, drives the car for 5000 miles and is selling it!! He's either taking a HUGE wash on the car or something is up

Also we don't have SBC

Looks clean, I dunno why he would be selling it if he dumped money into it.

Raj Chudasama

yes i agree that is pretty confusing part. i will ask him the same q. if he replies i will post it here.

These cars DO have SBC and a new unit is big plus. It's the ABC they don't have.

Car does look clean and seems to be priced a bit high but with all of that service done there is definitely some value there.

ABC SBC LMNOP!! Your right though, I had a brainfart.

looks like a solid car to me... specially the maintenance alone, plus pretty low miles and a very fair price. If all checks out i'd go for it

ok so spoke to him.

he said the following (paraphrasing).

the car was under platinum warranty transferred to him when he bought it. thus he had to pay 0 on all of the expenses. he was simply telling (in the CL post) what was fixed and cost of it (though not paid by him but by warranty).

now the extended warranty is run out and thus he does not want to risk having to pay out of his pocket if anything breaks (e.g. he said that only 1 strut was replaced and if others would go bad he would have to fork out the money). therefore, he wants to sell it. he supposedly is a MB certified mechanic; and does not think anything else is wrong with it. he is asking what he owes on the car. he will send more pictures.

thoughts?

looks solid, i just bought my 03 with 54kish on the odo for about 20800, had a solid serivce history. before i bought it, i had mb check it out and bought an extended warranty through mb. so far soo good. i love this car.

Why a MB mechanic be so worried about anything braking on MB car?
Makes no sense, have it checked out at reputable shop or dealer.
It will be the best car you're ever owned for sure, I love mine

Pull the trigger and get it

baldmike73

my 04 has been bullet proof thus far - love the car - just hit 65K miles and have loved every single one of them - and i am biased as Tectite Grey is gorgeous - just not with black amg wheels..

get it checked out and pull trigger if all looks good

berti_00

I've seen that car at cars and coffee. Can't tell you much else. Some of the other houston guys may know the car.
