You posted on another forum... "I just purchased 2004 Black/Black with premium package for 52800. I am in So. Cal. Is it a good price?"
 
Hey, TVO1... which price is it? Did you pay 10.5% sales tax? Also, you paid 1st prior to doing research on the vehicle? Not an advised way to buy a car due to the real possibility of buyer's remorse.
 
Now that you have it, hope you enjoy it. The E320 is a fine car that you should enjoy driving. Develop a good relationship with your service advisor so that he/she expects that you will only demand the best from MB.
 
Also, don't be shy about running issues up the dealership flag pole should they surface. A premium vehicle deserves a premium ownership experience.
 
Unfortunately, my wife and I have found MB corporate customer "no-service" to be severely lacking based upon my wife's ML experience (a long story). My former MB (CLK) was a terrific car - no problems.
 
Hope you bought a winner...

I'm looking at a 99 e320 w/ 44K miles for $23,900. Bose stereo, moonroof, but no cd. Black w/charcoal leather Starmark certified, 1 yr/100K miles warranty. Haven't seen it yet, but dealer tells me its a creampuff. Would you guys buy it for that price? thanks

Looks like not a lot of activity around here, but I'll ask anyway: Offered a 2001 E320 Wagon, 44k miles, Starmarked with the E2 package and heated seats. One previous owner, a lease. Carfax report checks out, service records pending. Price $28,827 plus taxes, and any additional Starmark years I want to buy. Thoughts?

So, so IMO.
 
I looked at a 2002 4-matic w/ 28k miles, E2, Comand and Xenons for $32,500. It wasn't starmarked, but the private owner had a transferable 7/100k warranty. That seemed like a good deal, especially considering the car literally didn't have even the slightest ding or scratch on it (love diplomats that rent expensive homes with heated garages).
 
I could have purchased your vehicle new in June 2001 for about $45k ($2,000 rebate) because Mercedes wanted to clear out the 2001's dues to changes introduced in the 2002's. So $28.8k seems a little high (65% residual) for a 4 year old car to me. But the Wagon does hold it's value pretty well.
 
We passed after deciding we really need an SUV for our treks up into snow country.

Terry over at the Real World Trade In Values thread says to shoot for $27,900, so shoot I will. I think this market isn't quite as saturated as the D.C. market to get better deals. I could probably get a better price up there, but there is a certain amount of convenience of buying local that's worth something to me. As for the private party vs. dealer, my Honda driving wife is insisting on a Starmark if I am to bring home a German make.
 
Thanks once again for your input. If you'll remember, I was on the verge of buying an E320 Wagon back in January, but at the last minute went with the "reliability" of Infiniti and a brand new FX35. Long story made short, the FX has been in the shop for 6 weeks straight with engine problems that Infiniti just can't seem to figure out despite numerous replaced components. Infiniti agreed to buy it back last week, and so here I am back with Mercedes, the car I loved all along.

Sorry to hear about your Infiniti experience, but hopefully it will work out for the best. Good luck in your negotiations.
