How long do you want to wait in an attempt to save $1K?

i'll spend the $200 or so on the PPI and then go from there.

i get a little confused on these boards because some on here say "$3000 is WAY too much" and others say "snatch it up!"

this will be my first MBZ Diesel so I want to at least feel (in my own obsessive mind) that I did my "due diligence".

(by the by...i'm a firm believer in trusting my instincts and this car feels like it's the one - god, this is a car i'm talking about!)
