For starters, it's a W140, which most cheapskate dieselheads will take to be a bad thing. Second, it came with the 3.5 liter rod bender engine. Not all of them bend rods, but many do. I personally wouldn't walk away, I'd run.

If you like the car look the engine over for a mercedes replacement engine tag... Drive it and look for the oil cloud... Offer $3500 and mention the rod bender fiasco. He may be tired of the car.. Also, don't let the dealer tell you the glass is bulletproof its just double pane glass...

I agree with VS....bout 3500 if its a really nice car. If the engine has been replaced with t 3 liter I might go if the condition of that motor could be documented.

7k is waaaay too much. You can buy a reeeally nice 2001+ low miles E or C class for that or less.
