I don't see you having ONE BIT of trouble getting paid for the car.
I sold my 300SD on ebay and my 300CD via Craigslist in very short order. I was surprised at all the things people were looking past (inop locks, windows, sunroof, etc) to get the diesels. I'm not complaining. I don't think I'll be able to get the $3k for my 280CE that I paid for it though with the way things are going...although the small car image may help.
I'm moving back to a diesel very soon, but finding one in decent shape for a non-asinine amount of cash isn't going to be easy...Looks like I gotta start throwing stuff up on ebay then...
It's like the boneheads that buy a Toyota Prius..."but it gets such great mileage..." Yes, it does, but they're slow, look like a death-trap, have crappy styling, and it'll take how many DECADES to come to a break-even point from the purchase price versus gas savings? Not to mention the insurance cost! I'll stick with my older, cheaper cars thank you. That reminds me...my wife needs new oil for the fryer in the kitchen...so I need to start filtering.
