I am a Financial Advisor and have several clients that drive MBs. A couple of them are the little old ladies that drive "only to church and to the store". Well, one of them calls me today and says, "You still want to buy my car?"

1994 C280. Dark green, moonroof, beige leather, new Michelins, all service, no problems. Looks new. Miles? Unbelievably only 41k!

Anyway, the dealership (she bought a new one) tried to low ball her and she said she wants $6,500 for it. Now, I've done the blue book and edmunds values and know that this is ballpark for private party transaction -- but this isn't your typical car, either.

Bottom line: I have a 1991 190E 2.6 but don't know a lot about the C280. I'd love to hear a few impressions and things to watch for.

Thanks mucho.
