Definitely. Work him down a bit.  That is a good price if everything else is good.  SEC prices are pretty high right now for decent cars --FT On 5/17/21 5:52 PM, Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes wrote: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1814828845344023/ Sent from my iPhone

Odd price. Where did the $200 come from.? Nice looking car, if a bit bland. https://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/cto/d/chicago-2010-mercedes-320-diesel-only/7322685267.html Allan ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives

My neighbor had a 39 mile commute and had a Cmax Ford with a 40 mile range. He said it worked great. Plug it in when you get home, plug it in at work, never paid for any gas, lease was $100/mo or similarly trivial. Gave it back, got the first of several Volts, which never had any gas put in them,

No. I sold it way way way way too cheap a couple of years ago. Today the same car would be worth at least 3k. Sent from my iPhone > On May 17, 2021, at 5:54 PM, OK Don via Mercedes > wrote: > > Do you still have that Euro 500 engine? Perfect car for it! > >> On Mon, May 17, 2021 at 5:13

Most people in Los Angeles live in a 5 mile radius circle. If its farther than 5 miles away it's "not worth it" because it'll take two hours to get there. For city dwellers electric cars make good sense. -Curt On Monday, May 17, 2021, 8:38:26 PM EDT, Allan Streib via Mercedes wrote:

The way people drive in LA you wouldn't last 10 minutes. Plus its HOT... I agree that $12k is high for a 7 year old tiny electric car. I'd buy one for half that though. -Curt On Monday, May 17, 2021, 8:59:20 PM EDT, Allan Streib wrote: But $12K?? Get an electric moped or a golf
