So... I found a car..


its a 1995 E300 Diesel
White w/ Grey Leather
108,6xx Miles

has smaller pass side mirror (assuming euro option?, and Glass Lens headlights )

I was @ the dealership when traded in...

1 tiny door ding & one TINY bumper scuff shown in pic, zero curb rash or corrosion.

Purchased as European Delievery by elderly German couple here in Florida. NEVER SEEN SNOW
ALL SERVICE RECORDS

also has working memory heated seats, telescoping steering wheel, antenna, headlight wipers/washers REAR WINDOW SHADE!

also...
zero oxidation, crack free wood & leather, chipless origional windshield, and spotless window tint.
needs AC Evaporator...

I can get it picked up for $9995 including evap... seem fair?

Good looking car, think it is a bit high for a 14 year old. Somewhere between 7-8K? But then when I have seen one I wanted, I didn't let it go over 1K.
My thoughts

Agreed, but I think its a good price for a dealer, especially if they are replacing one of the most expensive failure items on a W124.

Are you asking us how to negotiate with the dealer, or your parents? Do you plan on putting a panoramic cloth sunroof on this one?

Seems like its priced a tad high. The evap is a big ticket item though.

Dealer prob didnt give them much more than $5-6K for it as a trade in and they get to perform labor for cost to fix it. I'd try to get them to knock $500 or $1000 off the price.

Ask when the GP's were last done and if the harness has been replaced yet.

If you quickly join MBCA, the dealer should give you a 15% discount on parts/labor for the repairs. Would be worth asking, anyway.

and that is the price range i'm looking for a car... i'm super excited about it... and no cloth roof for this one... but the 240 is still in thought...


so... everything seems to be lining up price wise then....


and is it me... or does this vehicle seem just a tad more Euro than most?!

local dealership has a similar vehicle for sale for more than $13,000....(www.lustimotors.com) , so considering that price, it sounds like a decent deal, but try talking it down anyway...

Is that a Lexus sitting next to it? What dealer is it at? Don't tell me somebody traded in a diesel w124 for a Lexus?

Rear shade and heated seats are optional, everything else is standard equipment. Nice car though.

The mirrors are standard US 124 unless they're aspheric (Europe only), doubt it, the headlamps are US '94/'95 glass-lense DOT lights.

If it were Euro it would have a different trunk lid and different front bumper filler/plate hollder also.

Looks like a nice car.
