Well you could have a find there than almost any of us would like. Thats if the price is within reason and the claimed milage is authentic.

Take a person with you that is really familiar with these models if not certain. Good things happen to people once in awhile. Most are not knowledgeable enough to seize the moment.

Also adopting rose colored glasses is another issue we can suffer from. Staying objective pays off . Basically we want to see what a more sober mind would not see. All the best and hopefully it is what it is represented to be.

Each new mercedes comes with a factory supplied oil change booklet. In this are recorded the oil changes and milages and times they were done at. When you get to look at a claimed low milage model the booklet should be present in the dash. It is good up to 125k or some simular figure. If present they usually will provide some indications. If not should raise some questions unless other evidence is very strong.
