Help with purchasing decision please.
Here is the deal. I have found a beautiful 1990 560sec. The car appears to be well taken care of, beautiful inside and out, even the engine compartment is very clean. It has 151,900 miles and I am told runs out great. I have not driven the car personally yet or had it inspected. I would of course if I decided to purchase. The problem is it is on a dealer lot (not MB dealer) and they are asking $7900. I do admit I can be on the cheap side and this car appears to be in "excellent" condition but Kelley Blue Book says the car is only worth around $6000, retail and in excellent condition. The dealer is reluctant to budge on the price because he says the car is rare. I am driving a 1990 420sel that I absolutely adore but my car was seriously neglected by its previous owner so the thought of having a coupe that was well taken care of is very tempting.
The question is are the 560sec rare? I see alot of sedan 420's and 300's but not the 560 coupes but are they "rare"? Should I even be considering this car since it is $1900 over blue book? The carfax report overall was very positive with the exception of two "minor" accidents to the left rear the most recent of which was 02/06. I have been to see the car after hours and can see no evidence of these accidents. I would really like to have this car but do not want to be hustled. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
