If you are not risk adverse, units with 200k++ can be a great deal. Several with over 400k have shown up for sale which indicates these can be high miler vehicles.
These were (are) used as Taxis in EU.  |
I'd say that the "sweet spot," is what one can afford for one. And even then, some aren't able to use the 49 States as their marketing buy area. I let that geographic marketing area/option to buy from where I found the one I wanted. At the end of the day, I realized the best used ones were in my home state of Texas. So, it was just a matter of time finding the right one.
The $4,995.00 list priced E320 CDI, was the best value for the buck I've seen. Everything else is paling by comparison. That one would be hard to beat.
