You should have bought one off the lot, you can usualy get a better deal.

An odd one of the bunch is my friend Zach, who I sold Rotchester to. It was a car I paid $500 for, but it came with 20k+ worth of service records. I changed the oil, fuel filters, and had some good used tires installed. It had a used brake caliper put on and a brake bleed shortly before it made its cross country trip to California, where Zach relocated.

In 6 months and 7000 miles, a light bulb burnt out, and his primary filter clogged up again. Other than 1 oil change, that is all it needed. He got his money's worth and then some, even if it deciedes to blow up tomorrow.

One ugly bugger though.

Gone and done it again... Introducing my new CWC candidate

That is precisely what I did - I saved $1,500.00 more buying it from MB of Omaha, than I could have than buying it in Wichita, KS, or Dallas-Fort Worth, TX dealers - I shopped those first - getting their rock-bottom drive-off price on new ones they had at the time.

The one I bought car had 40 or so miles on it when I bought it - it was the only new W210 diesel in stock at the dealer. When I picked it up, it had 75 more on it.

However, since buying that one new, I've wised-up and have sworn-off buying new cars or motorhomes/motorcycles. I'll buy 'em 'near new' and save anywhere from 25% to 50% on what they listed for originally. That's what I did on the last diesel coach I bought - no need in paying the manufacturer all that money, when it's a cream puff one-owner, and many times still in-warranty.
