Either that, or shrill bidding.

Go baby Go! Makes me feel a lot better about mine. I'll have to print off and show The Bride what a Genius I am. I didn't pay that for my '99 (newer) with less miles a couple years back and with more options and no scraped bumper.

I'd certainly would be real interested in that kinda cash.

Probably just the dreaded shill bidding though as the reserve is not yet met.

Black on black, low miles, service history, and 30+ mpg. What's not to like? When I was shopping for one, you could find them at $20k, so I'd say this one is a few thousand over. Perhaps it's worth it for this car.

Could be worth $20K+

"These cars especially the older mercedes 96-99 will run for a half a million miles they are bullet proof if maintened right like this pampered beauty!!"

I hope my 95 E300D is good enough to hit that magical 1/2 million mark...

Talking

Yes sir! Makes my non-turbo 606 owning self happy as well! Maybe I wasn't such a schmuck for paying $13,000 a year ago....

However, this one makes me drool http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=003&item=130013269158&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1#lg . This has to be my absolute favorite color combo.

Nice cars high prices I understand.

Why are 3.4 rod benders so high in price?

Not complaining as I own one

For $24k I'm thinking one thing, for $10k-$15k more I can get a CDI! The 606 is nice, but the CDI is better!

Isn't there suppose to be a vin sticker under the license plate? I do not see one. Maybe the trunk and/or other panels have been painted?

yes, but...

I paid too much for mine eighteen months ago before the oil crisis unfolded. Whoever buys such a vehicle must also budget for all the vexxing problems that crop up with these cars: leaking fuel lines, questions of rust; kaputte fan clutches; generally cheapo plastic bits that break and shatter at strange times. This said, I am fond of mine, indeed, and it is working its way into my heart as did its W123 240D predecessor. My air conditioner shrugged off the inferno recently had in California.

Honestly,the worse decision in my car history was selling our two 1999 E300 TD's and 95 E300 Spec.Edition.I couldve kept all three cars,and actually could have kept it and it would have been worth it.All three cars were minty's and fully loaded.Really miss those cars!
1995 E300 was my brothers
1999 E300 TD (silver,brothers)
1999 E300 TD (black,mine)
