compared to oel or corn, not much. I think in 1994 unleaded benzine was about $1.25/gal. So, a buck now will buy about half as much oel. Corn was $3 in Jan 94, and that is about where it is now. Craig via Mercedes June 10, 2017 at 10:11 PM On Sat, 10 Jun 201

Never seen that many miles on a 642 but if it's been maintained it's probably ok. The oil cooler issue has probably been fixed by now. Price seems too high for the miles though. Should be $4-5k I would think. The 97 looks good but should be about $3500-$4k. Sent from my iPhone > On Jun 10, 20
