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.
