Hello Boss...Sincerely i prefer the Kompressor except he doesn't have a reliable mechanic to handle the services for him. But judging by the pics he's displaying here,it seems to be very neat though you cannot ascertain the mechanical aspect of the ride. I asked him what he needed in a ride and he told me cheesy so that's why i suggested he should go ahead with the kompressor.

But at what price?

How much do you think its worth?
The BAS/ESP indicator is on the instrument cluster is on? What is the solution?

Could be brake light switch or a wheel sensor simple issues.

My brother like inze rightly commented,#1.2million is very realistic for a 2000 model W202 whether kompressor or a naturally aspirated type.

Sincerely the car is neat. The CD player, Extra tyre, Jack etc came with it. The A/C is working well. Nothing has been tampered with. It has a little rust bt the door of the drivers side which is not visible & the BAS/ESP indicator is on that just the shortcoming of the car

He can get it cheaper but you know bargaining power matters a lot and taste differs. He can even get it below #1million but the neatness/condition of that one might not be like that of the #1.2million. So many factors influences the prices of cars most especially the mileage.

I asked if the ride is already in Nigeria and you didn't respond. 2ndly what's the mileage on this ride? If in Nigeria,have you gone with a reliable mechanic to inspect it mechanically?

Mileage is not bad if it has not been rolled back. Why will you beg seller with your own money? Negotiate with him properly and not beg abi you be woman cheesy grin afterall you will be paying for it.

Guy the ride is Ok if it's mechanically sound. i can give you German car websites for you to visit and check out the cost to buy one there excluding shipping. So when you add total cost including clearing,then you will arrive at the price that way you should be able to know if what you intend buying is ok or not. But if the ride is mechanically sound as per confirmation by your mechanic,then negotiate for #1.1million.

But a classic can be gotten at that price I believe.... It never hurts to try.

Boss...you are still not getting my point. I said you can but it depends on condition of the vehicle. This particular one am seeing here(2000 model,Leather seat,automatic,alloy wheels,mileage less than 140k,etc) and condition seems very neat cannot be gotten for #950k. Potential buyer can try his luck but i really doubt.

No one is saying he cannot get a W203 for 1.3 but certain factors are to be considered. In the USA mileage determines the price of a vehicle and that's the reason why you will be surprised when someone tells you he bought the same car the other got for a higher price. You cannot expect a car with a mileage of 80,000 to be the same with 150,000. You can browse the below websites to confirm things yourself:

Taste differs. I was browsing via Cargurus.com some months ago when i saw a 2005 Mercedes C230 Kompressor with mileage less than 50,000. The USD price for the ride was $16,000. I called the office in Florida and i was told the last price is $15,500 whereas others with mileage of 89,000 and above were going for less than $12,000. So if you are calculate the total cost,will you still say that it's too much for the buyer to pay?

Folks from my research, factors like mileage, the condition of the car etc determines the price of a car regardless of the model
My friend in the US bought this same W202 2000 model C230 Kompress for 6700 dollars. The car is very neat with just 54000 miles. I uploaded some of the pics of the said car

Am glad you understood my point. Mileage is number 1 factor then other condition follows. So when you hear people say i bought a W202 for #800k and you got yours for #1.1million,don't panic because you don't know the condition of the other. My taste can be completely different from the other person's own.
