Mb E320

[JordanLotoski]

One of my cleints has a 2003 E320 for sale...he wants 32,000 for it. It is black on black with 44,000km. Anyone ever own one of these. Think i should sell my e46 and replace it with this?...and is this a good deal?

let me know if anyone knows if they are problematic with anything. or any information really..I have owned a benz before but just a C class

Thanks

you think thats bad.....02 S430's go for around 40....those were well over 110 new

[AllGoNoShow]

Thats what I was wondering, why does MB have such a high depreciation value after only 3-4 years? I noticed that while looking through ads and online.

[jaysas_63]

not just benz, look at all higher end models of the euros...i,e 745's, A8's, s430s, even the 5 a6, and e series.....

btw please send me his contact information, my father may be interested. he is looking for an S, but this is a pretty good deal

This is very true, I would say even more so with BMW 7 Series, where I have seen a 2000-2001 740i(l) go for $23k.

Not all MB's :D I believe the Mercedes CLK is supposed to have one of the best resale values out of pretty much every car other than exotics.

My dad bought the 03 745Li brand new for $113,000 or around there. He was thinking of selling it and Calgary BMW appraised it around $90,000. Don't think thats's too bad imo!

These are projected values after 5 years.

1 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class — 55.2%


2 Mini Cooper — 55%


3 Ford GT — 52%


4 Mercedes-Benz CLK55 AMG — 50%
Toyota Camry Solara


5 Lexus SC 430 — 49.8%


6 Lexus ES 330 — 48.8%


7 Chevrolet Corvette — 48.5%


8 Audi S4 — 48%


9 Nissan Altima — 47.6%


10 Mercedes-Benz C55 AMG — 47.5%

In case you're wondering what has the worst resale value, it's the dodge neon at 26%

Keep your e46 imo.

Thanks Well the price looks good. The mileage is low but Euro cars just scare me in general haha.

Sounds like a pretty good deal, I'd do it.

My dad's business partner had an E320...spent more time in the shop then his driveway apparently.

Do you know if it's been in the shop a lot or not?

My bet is the car was model year 1996-2002.

[Mitsu3000gt]

I'd maybe look at a BMW 745 as well, due to the popularity of the 3 series and 5 series, these cars are an amazing buy at a good price.

If I were you I'd sell your Lincoln and pick up the MB or BMW, but I'm not you so you can do whatever you want :D

For $32,000 I'd go buy a 2000 BMW 540i instead of a MB 320. It would kill it in basically every category, and even be a bigger car. Also, the 540's are rock solid with very few problems.

Yea sorry that's my bad. My dad's is a 2004 model and not 2003. He bought near the end of 2004 and BMW Calgary DID appraise it around $90,000.

But that was still quite a while ago, no?

[/////AMG]

^^well almost 2 years, so yea.


New cars depreciate way too much.
My uncle bought a 2005 5 Series which was used, just because if he bought a 2006 5-series new it would cost £12,000 more! :eek:
