There are an endless number of threads about whether to buy this car or that one. My need now is to figure out how much a particular 97 E320 is worth.

Body is perfect, no rust, no dings, and my desired color combo, black with palomino interior. It has a small crack in the rear bumper. Also, a broken plastic piece in the front lower bumper. The passenger rear window needs a regulator. The driver window is sluggish. Interior has a few little things wrong, but the seats are in good condition.

I went to the dealership and while test driving it, when I stepped down on it to move onto the freeway, it hesitated, really a hiccup, then the check engine light came on, and just like that there was a fairly obvious miss coming from under the hood. One or two cylinders weren't firing, at least as far as I could tell. I told the salesman that the test drive is over, and back we went.

It has 111k on the clock.

If we assume that the engine misfiring is something easy to fix, what should I offer?
