Re: [MBZ] This Looks Nice

Yes. That is a bargain. The person that is selling this because he bought a newer BMW‎ will know limitless regret within months after it is gone.  Mercedes = good BMW=bad At least that's my opinion.  For $3,000, with 120k miles, being a Florida car, that car ‎is a steal.  Rick
