Neither of the links "works" for me.

I go to a KBB screen that wants me to enter my zip code and vehicle info.

My experience is that used cars go something close to KBB wholesale, especially a 10 year old car with miles.

Having said that, especially with a Mercedes, it is worth it to pay a small premium to get a very clean example with a verifiable maintenance history. High-ish miles on a Mercedes don't bother me, as long as I have a good maintenance record.

I am a big fan of the W210 chassis as well as the M104 engine.

Remember that even though '97 is the last year of the M104 engine in the W210 chassis, it was still used in the W140 S320 until 1999.
