Lawyer in town's father in law went to trade 1997 S320 LWB for a new car. Dealership said they'd give him $7,000.00. My friend bought it from him for $8000 and wants to sell it for what he has in it. He's not a car person.
Gold with all options as far as I can tell. 46,000 miles and meticulously maintained. Former owner is a HIGHLY detail-oriented engineer type so no question on service and maintenance.
I've got a '96 2 door Yukon SLT that is my play toy but am thinking of selling it and buying the MB. Main drawback for me is premium gas but it's still cheaper than diesel (I only drive my truck on weekends now due to $4.09 diesel).
Any thoughts? I understand importance of scheduled maintenance on German cars as well as the cost. I probably drive less than 5,000 miles/year going to and from the office and playing around. For any long trips we either take AMy's Yukon XL or drive my truck so this is just for an around-town car.
Thanks.
Steve

I based that on my zip code.......i don't think yours would be much different.
