A year and half ago when I was looking - there were at least 300 within the mileage I put in - Glad I have mine! I think trying to find Graphite with a cedar interior would be real tough!
Are these cars actually getting harder to find? Don't talk value - I know they are a fraction of what most of us paid - but getting rarer?
Truth is many dealers won't touch them. Mercedes parts and technicians cost a bundle and the car's sale price just wont carry it. Plus, providing even a 30 day warrantte could be financialy risky.
Erni Mitchell, here in St charles MO won't put one on his lot even as a loss leader or a bargain car. Yet they are a steal.
Private owners are often upside down on their loans so they aren't parting with them. Even to trade for somthing else. It is reducing the supply that are available for sale.
Meanwhile, those in the know are snapping them up. Look how many 2 Xfires members there are.
