Found a 1980 200 gasser today,sign says make offer.the woman says that she origanally wanted $1,500.00 ,but will take $900.00 .Sounds kinda pricey to me. (What I know)- 4cyl- 111,00 mi.,welldocumented,lots of new parts,engine compartment is clean, interior is in good shape,well maintained,no rust anywhere that i could see,new tires and brakes.Runs well,trans is smooth. The bad. hood release does not work, nor does the sunroof. Needs paint. could anyone suggest an offer price?

Why do you want it? How badly do you want it? How long has it been for sale? You can offer $500 and risk having her shut you out for good or pay the full $900 and enjoy it. If she's come down to $900 from $1500 I'd say she'll at least sleep on a $700 offer.

Exactly what I was thinking....
I drove a little 230E and loved it. 2nd gear start, though....

Figure out the most you'd be willing to pay, offer her something less, and see where you end up. That's what I usually do. It sounds like a nice car.
