Hey how are you?
OK, the car looks good, the mileage is relatively low, I would say it's a winner for that price. I think it warrants a closer look, that is, if you are interested, you need to do the carfax, check the car out and so on. I don't think it is a waist of time.
To get at even a better price, find flaws and start deducting to negotiate. You need to create a ZOPA (a Zone Of Possible Agreement) by spreading the Delta. This means you need to show him that you are using his figure as a reasonable max but your figure will be lower as you discover things he did not account for to asses his value. This will bring his expectation lower for you to low ball him.
I say it's worth it.
I hope to see you again in the next meet, maybe with a w126. Well even your present Benz rocks anyway.
