6 month ago I picked up a black 2000 ML 430 with java interior with 52K miles in very good condition with navigation etc. for $23,320.

At that time I saw the 430's from that year going in the Auto Trader for $27K to 30K and at dealers up to $33K.

Where are you located? Maybe I can ask the person that helped me if they now someone in that area.

Good luck!
