In 1994 this car cost the original owner a kings ransome.Mercedes where just about the most expensive in the World in this country and some 40% to 60% more pre-tax than the rest of Europe.Servicing costs are also higher.
Now we have the cheapest older prestige cars apart from Japan.

I've noticed German dealers are buying these cars back at rock bottom prices.The Germans have done very well out of us,high new prices and now German export companies are buying them back.The above C-class was bought by a guy who takes them back to Germany.The seller didn't help his case not bothering to clean the inside of the car...the Germans must marvel at the stupid "Britischer Schweinhund". My guess is they are either being broken for spares or exported to the far east (25% of the World drive on the same side of the road as us).
If you check the American price guide http://www.kbb.com BMW's are 3 times the price there for older stuff than here.
