[MBZ] Another E320?

I olan to go look at an AWD E320 today. MY2000? Has COMAND and HID headlights. Don't know the mileage, but looks to be in decent cosmetic condition. I think they're asking about $2700, at a lowball used-car lot. Under consideration as a replacement for that wretched X5. -- Jim

Federal oil and gas leases carry a 12.5% royalty plus a modest per acre rental charge, which is below market https://www.americanprogress.org/issues/green/reports/2015/06/19/115580/federal-oil-and-gas-royalty-and-revenue-reform/ "Currently, the federal government charges a royalty of only 12.5
