the 92 400E is WAY overpriced. andrew strasfogel wrote:
A friend has decided to purchase his first Mercedes and asked for my advice. He's 47, works hard and deserves to drive something nice than the '91 Ford he currently owns. He has a budget between $12 - $18K, and his choices boil down to a '92 400E at around $12K, a '99 green/parchment 60K E320 for $15,900, a 2000 E320 with 74K miles for the same price ($15,900), and a 54K immaculately maintained black/black '99 E320 from the local dealer for $18K. Any thoughts/suggestions? All gave clean Car fax reports and are clean, with service records and no obvious current problems. The '99 is a real beauty but is too old for a Star Mark warranty. The 2000 is not being sold by a dealer so no Star Mark either... Any "fatal flaws" in either of these models for any particular model years he should know about? What about repair costs? Any reason to own a 2000 with 20K more miles than a '99 model E320?
