You didn't say what part of country you're from, east coast?

In Chicago, I was offered $17k for my "98 GLT (58k miles)last June from a Mercedes dealer. I was considering a E320 wagon. I think you're getting a good deal with the leather and alloy package. Overall, I have had a good experience with my car. I would buy it again. I have repaired a few things i.e. a door lock, ignition key lock, auto climate control belt tensioner and a trans. (see "BURNING SMELL" posting on 2-20-03 for info) The car is expensive to repair, when it's out of warrenty, at $95 hr labor rates, cost adds up fast.

Things to consider:
1. Get the repair service history..a must!
2. Recommended 70K mile timing belt replacement...CHGO. cost is $700
3. V70 base and GLT models are rated highest by consumer reports magazine
4. Tires...a good set of Continentals will cost $700
5. Big car low power in the base model.
6. Not a common SUV, sport wagans are cool.
7. Very versatile! that's what the "V" means in V70!
8. Not AWD just front wheel, still drives great in the snow.

Good luck,
