A "decent" price is what you are willing to pay, as determined by you. No, I'm not advocating one goes off half-cocked with no research as to value. FWIW, look up values at the Kelly Blue Book and NADA websites.

Low-ish miles, one-owner, garage kept: all that adds value. Sure looks nice from the photos. Have you identified any immediate needs it might have? Are service records included? Where is the rust (surface or rot)? What role would this car fill for you?

As for me, I like my somewhat rusty, three shades of white '96 E300 that's clocked almost 220,000 miles. Hasn't given me any trouble. If I were looking for another 210 diesel something like that '97 would certainly catch my eye.
