KBB is the last place to go to get a value for one of these cars.
IMO Kellys Blue Book is a very reputable source and has been in the vehicle
apprasial business for a very long time and I would think that they know a
thing or two about the value of vehicles. Whats next, Mercedes doesen't know
it is way overprice...read the blue book value...shit, you can even double
that and it STILL isn't what it sold for.
Whatever you say.
CAR FOR SALE!
1987 300D
Red, Leather Interior, Pioneer AM/FM CD Head unit, disk changer in trunk,
Ice cold AC, Runs strong, I have used Mobile 1 since I have owned it. Etc.
Original Mercedes Benz Roof Rack Included (just bought it).
$9,000.00 Firm
too bad it's firm. you need to deduct for the pioneer deck, the disk
changer,
and the fact that you have a #14 head and have overheated it. We were all on
the list when that happened.
Oh yeah, and my head is cracked (which it isn't) just like you all told me.
What it sold for was what it was worth!! Anyone that sold it for less
would be a FOOL!
Like I said earlier...I think wagon owners tend to 'puff' the value of their
cars. You wagon drivers are like users of Macintosh computers!
PS all in humor and not trying to start a flame.

Mercedes in all their wisdom forgot one extemely important thing, a coffee
cup holder. Anybody have any thoughts as to what options are available for a
1995 E320. Like anything else there will be good products and bad.
When driving you should only be doing one other thing: DRIVING.
Mercedes shortsightedly believed that driving a car required the
driver's complete attention, was a full time occupation and to encourage
that, didn't include cup holders, TV screens, microwave ovens, or hair
curling irons in ANY models until the mid '90s.
I strongly agree with Mercedes.
