I agree with 123c, try comparing it to a new POS at $16,000 which you can not work on due to the emmisions and computer junk....

And most of the people on this forum have no idea how far you are from other places.....LOL .... If you find a good one which has been brought to your area and you want a Mercedes you can work on I say jump on it... no harm bargaining with the man though.... not every one is in the market for a car that old....
