It is overall for an '86 a 9.5 out of 10 in my book.
The way you describe the CE acting bothers me, it shouldn't do that, even after sitting for a couple of months.
If you can give the SDL a 9.5 out of 10,that's excellent! You said the SDL is at a dealer?
I wouldn't buy a vehicle unless I could drive it and check it out.
Take it for a long drive, check it out and if you like the car offer about 60% of the asking price.[/QUOTE]

Thanks for some good advice.
He is a used car lot dealer.....Asking 4995.
It is worth that the way it looks to me. I've seen SDL's going for 2X that price & they had issues. This has none. except the fuddy duddy color.
I may offer him 4,000 and see if I can get it for 4,200.

If it's really good it may well be worth it, I used to work for a new car dealership. I know at what unbelieveable rates they take trade ins. It's called "stealing" the trade.
I've seen SDL's for more, but if they really sell, is questionable.
The last one I looked at was from a private party. Oh boy that car was so bad...I wouldn't want to have it for free. He was asking 5K After that I gave up on that model.

I think you can grind a little better, once you decided on it.

When I bought my 95 E320 about 3 months ago, it took me all afternoon to get it for the price I wanted it, and that was only the negotiation part.

The next day, I came back to pay and I saw the break down on the computer screen, boy the still made good money on it.

In my opinion, I bet he got that SDL on the lot for under 2K.

I just called him on the Ad he ran for 3995. and asked him 2 X if that was the price & bioth times he said yes.

So he better take 3995. when I offer it to him ....
