I've worked for a few used car dealers in my time and I would not trust them to sell you a good car.

They'll buy a car for a certain price, jack up the price of the vehicle thousands of dollars and sell it with a down payment equal to what they paid for it. Many do nothing to the car at all except maybe charge the battery and check the oil before they sell it.

I'm sure there are good decent used car salesmen out there but... they are hard to find. If you find one - sing his praises.

Luke, come to the dark side (aka W124s)...

1987 MERCEDES 300D TURBO DIESEL - saves gas like all Diesels do

1993 Mercedes 300D - 30 mpg highway without trying

Sell or trade 1995 mercedes E300-D Silver edition - if money's no object

1982 Mercedes-Benz 300D ONLY 30,207 ORIGINAL MILES! Pristine! - if you just hate money

Mercedes 300D 1975 Original Condition - it's just purty

sixto, blow up the battery area pic on the '82. The box is well rusted AND there appears to be rust to the left of the hood hinge.

30K ?? Kinda doubtful

It took only 30K miles to get the bumper bashed in? It wouldn't stand out in my car but it should be taken care of on a car they're selling for that much.
