Hello all,
I'm a proud owner for a 2007 W211 E320 CDI and happy with the performance and drive etc.
I'm in the market for a W124 and have recently come across a 1994 E300 Diesel with 255,000 miles on the clock. I have not yet viewed the vehicle in person but I have offered to owner £1,400 due to it being a rather high mileage vehicle (I know these engines can go up to 500k with good looking after). The seller initially told me to have a good day and stop wasting his time, now I've been messaged saying that he can do £1,600 lowest.
I do not wish to waste my time nor the seller by viewing the vehicle and not purchasing it. The bodywork has some rust above the tyre panels and the car has loads of history (supposedly).
Would anyone offer their opinion if £1,600 is worth it or should I stand my ground and say most I can offer is £1,400?
Is there anything else I should consider or should I just walk away from this potential deal?
