Hi all,

I'm new to this forum, though I've been searching through a lot of posts for the past two weeks or so. I typically post on Autopia, but placo1 suggested I come here for some MB info.

Typically, I like to buy and sell cars once or twice a year. I've detailed on the side for the last 20+ years, and use the car as a testbed for both new products and customers. As such, I buy cars through a wholesaler friend of mine. Recently, I've become interested in MB's, as I've developed a few clients that drive them.

I've got two concerns though: For those people who have sold their MB's, is high-mileage that much of an obstacle? And do you find that the selling price is approximately what the online sources (KBB, Edmunds, etc.) say it will be?

The cars I would be looking at purchasing would be in the '96-'98 range, preferrably E-Class. As these cars are 6-8 yrs old, mileage in the 90k+ range is quite common.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give!
