There is a '92 500E being offered at a dealer auction on Friday. The good news is the 28,000 miles. The bad news is some paintwork. Not bad but obviously done at a production shop. This dealer has been trying to sell it for at least two months with no luck. He says he needs around $18,000 but nobody wants to bid over $14,000. If I can get it for say $16,500, can I still break even in a few months after I've had my fun with it? I know how particular M-B buyers can be when it comes to paintwork but can't I still get lets say $18,000 for it even in the middle of a blizzard?
