I have the opportunity to purchase a 93 300ce cabriolet. It's exterior and interior are in excellent condition and it has 2 years left on it's Starmark "component" warranty. Beyond the typical problems listed on this site for a 300e are there any special issues that I should be aware of for the cabriolet (i.e.roof problems)?

The car has approximately 53,000 miles and the gentleman is asking $41,000. Any feed back on the price? Is this a good deal?

Any responses in the next 48 - 72 hours would be appreceited.

Sounds like a good price, here is the NADA info, http://www.nadaguides.com/GlobalFrame.asp?UserID=042BF3A4942&DID=2020&Type=IM&GCode=UC&wSec=0&wPg=1008&Com=0079&Year=1993&Model=02007903276&S=ShowValue

BTW, you will have to get your hands on a NADA book at the library or book store to calculate the accurate value according to mileage. Or, just call your bank, they should do a Blue Book lookup any time and will have the Trade-In value as well.

Good Luck!

If you can be SURE to get the extended warranty.

Here is why.

A customer of mine bought a 93 cab. It has the 104 engine in it. A few things have gone south that Mercedes won't cover and it has cost some real money.

Great car, great engine once the bugs are worked out.
