| I can't seem to generate any interest with this car at $11k... Anyone interested in it for $10k?
This is just a spectacular car - great to drive, great to look at and super reliable! 100k mile service has been done.
As people with Mercedes, you guys should be able to realize a) the quality; b) the importance of up-keep and preventative maintenance; c) the value of a complete maintenance history.
What will it take to sell this car!?!? So far I've discovered people who want to spend less than $1k on a beater, people who'd rather buy a new one at $1000/month, people who think that ANY car over 100k miles is junk, and people who'd rather drive around in a Daewoo or Kia or Aveo for more money.
I just don't get it - if someone appreciates value, how can you go wrong with this luxury tank that will go practically forever?! It's done most of its depreciating! It was over $50k new. I paid the book value of $19k 4 years ago when I bought it. It is now in BETTER shape than when I bought it! It has fresh brakes, new tires, new shocks and struts, many other new parts, and I replaced the trunk lid that was rusty.
Simple math: the car is better than it was 4 years ago at 50k miles - at almost half the cost!! |
