Arrow Was this a good buy?

Are cars getting cheaper or did I just miss an incredible deal? Check out all the repairs for such low mileage.

Wow, the seller certainly seems honest.... $8,100?

Man, such a low price!

That's probably twice what the dealer would have given in trade in.

That was a good buy. I notice there was no mention of the wiring harness. It takes a beating during head gasket change.

On the other hand, it's not unusual to see the price of luxury cars take a nosedive because of the cost of keeping up with repairs on such a gadget-laden vehicle.

Except for the harness swap (which isn't listed), the rest of the repairs seem on par for a typical W124...but granny needed a more honest tech! Those repair costs were a bit steep IMHO!

Did the pic of the girlfriend on the ACC come with the car?
