If it was well maintained/rust free its probably a better deal than the 4matic is....and easier to work on/more reliable too. I'd assume at 270k if its running good then its probably had some work done to it....and that a lot of the miles are possibly highway.

If they knocked some $$ off the SL I'd go for that instead.

Notice you have a Suburban listed in your sig --- is it a 4x4?

And yes -- it's great to have a 4x4 in the stable...but ya gotta have one that you can take in the woods, the swamps and down thru the ditch and cross the creek in order to get around a highway back-up.

Go for the 560, or at least check it out and let me know the details......

just to clarify things....

the 300E 4MATIC & the 560SL are both local cars, both rust free. both clearly "HIGHER" miles

both owned by the same people. both have service records...

I can't get over how much this looks like the interior of my 300 CD. A lot more than just a passing resemblance...
