I don't think the price is on the higher end for Mercedes Diesels in general, but I do believe it is slightly overpriced. The fact that the transmission and heads are new makes a huge difference in my mind. Without that little fact, I probably would have encouraged him to walk.

I do think a less educated buyer would jump on this car for the price, not noticing the jackpoints.

I would say the most any reasonable person should pay for a 150k to 250k Diesel Benz 617 sedan is $6,000 if its near perfect example. That's my opinion, though there are many examples of people who paid alot more or less for them.
