I never really thought i would sell my diesel, but everything has a price. My E300D was a special find that was a one owner (doctor in San Antonio) who always took it to a dealer for everything (not that much actually since it had only 32k on it when i bought it). Anyway, if she is looking for something MINT, then you have a few things to consider:

1. It will cost you a lot
2. There are lots of cars out there that claim to be Mint, because they either put a crappy Maaco paint job on it, wiped the tires clean and replaced the speedo.
3. The current owners will have attachment issues letting the car go.

from the above, #1 and #3 apply to me. My car is not really for sale, as i see myself teaching my 3 year old to drive in this car.

-1995 W124 E300d White
-44,500 miles (recent oil change)
-Khumo KH21 80,000 mile tires with only 6,000 miles on them
-As mint as you can get a car of this age. This car looks in better shape than most 2008 cars on the road.
-Everything works except the temperature sensor in the front license plate. i mean everything else, most people just say this in the ads, but it is true for me.
-Added Ipod connection to stock radio (looks soooo much better than a crappy Super Flashy new stereo receiver)
-Added a Auto dimming Rear View mirror with Compass, and Homelink (3 garage door opener buttons)
-Added Huper Optik DREI Ceramic Window Tint ($600) Ferrari of window tints, compares to nothing.
-You can laugh, but i am not letting this go for less than $15k. Considering that you can probably not find another car in this shape, this age, this mileage, this should be on your list if you are really looking for mint.
-Live in SW Houston, so no cross country travel needed to pick up the gem you found on ebay.
