Is this E500 Sport a good deal?
Hello everyone, I'm new to this Forum and wanted to say hi, and ask a question about a 2003 E500 Sport my wife is looking at. I figured I'd ask what everybody's opinion is of the car and see if you think the price is far. They are asking $26,750.00 for it, it has 53,000 miles. The car seems to be in excellent condition, except for the obvious things that I assume are comon to a car 4 or 5 years old. Hazey headlightys, ashtray cover broken. The owner of the small luxury car sales indicate the wheels ARE Mercedes but I have my doubts. He said they were AMG wheels, but I can't find any AMG logo on them.
The details say this: Black on Black

I would be leary of any dealer selling an E500 anywhere near it's market value,may be a damaged car,repaired outside of the insurance purvue,that way they can keep a clear carfax.
The quality of the 03 is suspect,you would be better off finding an 00-01.
those are the amg sport package wheels.But something is fishy with that price,beware of dealers!!!!! if she really just has to have it,make sure you get it inspected by a good shop of your choosing and an excellent top tier body shop,I smell fish!
private party low miles 2003 Mercedes E500 - $23000 ca. car
2003 Mercedes Benz E500, Silver Sedan (27,350 mi) - $28950
2003 MERCEDES E500, 47K mi, XENON, DVD, FULLY LOADED, AMG WHEELS, NICE - $22000 this one is an example of a mint condition salvage repair car very nice job but the price reflects the salvage title.
All 3 would take less with a solid cash offer.If you cant pay cash and must finance get a pre approved credit union loan so they think you are a cash buyer.Both cars could be had for thousands less if you deal that way.
that is more like it,however with the quality issues of the late model benz I would really shop around.

that seems like a fair price considering the miles are kind of high. those are amg wheels but they could also be imitations. it's hard to tell just by looking at the picture. i wouldpersonally preferto buy from a private party rather than the dealership since the dealers usally tends to make a profit from each sale.
