There isn't any "Book Value" from the Kelly Blue Book or NADA Guide on a car like this. Figures both selling and buying for cars like this are subjective in nature and the only number that counts, if you are the seller, is the one from a serious buyer that makes you an offer. Over 28 years in the business, dealers like myself, buy and sell by looking at what it must have taken to build a car like this and take a rough guess as to what someone might buy it for. Do I have an asking price, sure if you want to hear me shoot at the moon, but that number will have nothing to do with what you may offer whether that's higher or lower. That is why we sell exclusively on eBay and at other reputable auctions. The numbers or offers come from the buyers that are serious and just like me, make their own minds up as to what they are willing to spend. We are here to sell cars. With thirteen years exclusively on eBay and perfect feedback, it's obvious we do. How? Well, that's easy too. Real buyers with serious offers in mind call us. They almost always want to talk to the person in charge; that's me. I want to talk to you too and help you own this awesome vehicle. It keeps me in business. So, if you want a fantastic vehicle like you see here, one that is far above the average in condition, serviced and documented like this, simply call. Asking through email for my bottom line? Well, I just think you're not too serious or willing to make an offer; makes it a waste of my time and yours. If you just want to know what the market value is, do what we do, look at Kelly Blue Book and NADA Guide and other online sources. Does that mean we always hope to get exactly book value, above or below? That's a loaded question. Depends on the rarity, miles and condition. Most important though, since you "are" a serious and capable buyer, call me and let's talk. I don't wear a Plaid Coat, I don't talk really fast and I am the guy in charge, the owner, enthusiast and purveyor of some of the finest cars on the internet...not to mention the best thorough presentations. Let's make a deal...Call me Doug 2003 Mercedes-Benz C320 4Matic Wagon VIN: WDBRH84J23F382954 Odometer: 16,641 Engine: 3.2 Liter SOHC V6 Transmission: 5-Speed Automatic Exterior: Alabaster White Interior: Parchment MBTex Built: - Dec 2002, Germany Over 162 high resolution pictures below.

So, you have been looking for the nicest, best kept and maintained Mercedes Benz C320 4Matic Wagon you can find...and you are here on eBay because you have already seen and passed up a bunch in your neck of the woods that were all less than even your lowest expectation of quality. I know how you feel. Every week I go to specialty and dealer-only auctions to find the best of the best in what I call "niche autos". I'll see roughly 1500-3000 local cars on my lists every week and only find a handful of treasures. First, I sit at my desk and overview the online lists and cherry pick the cars I've come to know are hard to find and great for my business model of exclusively marketing on eBay. Older low mileage cars and cream puffs are always hitting my list when they show up. Two to three a week may show up between the three major auctions as well as a few local classifieds. But seeing them on a list and actually looking at them can reveal a very different story. The true test of finding a spectacular car includes years of experience in professionally appraising them as I have; 28 years to be exact. I am extremely picky about what I buy. Ownership history, service history and condition, condition, condition are very important to me. All too often, high-end luxury cars are not cared for as well as they should be...but some are. This is one you won't want to let slip past you. Original spectacular paint, stunning original interior, a service history that was by the book, that and modern looks and class, not to mention important recent maintenances that we did and you won't need to do...what more could you want? A great deal? OK, got that covered too. No, you will not be buying this car for wholesale or low book values, but you and I already know you get what you pay for. In today's world of used vehicles, finding a $1000 to $4000 car that needs nothing and will be exceptionally reliable...is like finding an honest politician. So if that's your budget, be prepared to find and drive your local junk as you won't find me selling it for that here online. If you want unmatched quality, service care and condition, this car is a rare find. Look at the service history recorded below and the maintenance we did. Look at every picture very carefully and see the stunning condition up close and personal...then make your call with your offer; you won't be disappointed. Thanks for reading and getting to know us. Doug Williams Owner/Enthusiast - Viva Las Vegas Autos, Inc. 702-353-7500 This car has a great story. As I was reviewing the cars available on my auction list for my Wednesday morning specialty auction, I spotted this 2003 Mercedes Benz C320 4Matic Wagon. First of all, I have this ridiculous fondness for wagons; i grew up traveling in the back of them as a kid. So, they always catch my attention. This one especially though because it stated it only had 14,964 miles. OK, looks like a typo so check Carfax and Autocheck. No it was true! This car is a ONE OWNER 2003 Mercedes Benz C320 4Matic Wagon with only 15k miles on it. I couldn't wait to get to the auction that next morning. I wanted this car for every reason I could think of and I hadn't even seen it yet other than a few pictures. Wednesday morning rolled around and the first car I rushed to see was this one. Walking up on it it appeared like new. I opened the door to a rush of cold air conditioning, (the guy before me had left it running). The first think I noticed was tan masking tape covering the door sill plates and halfway up the entry side of the door post. Obviously the owner didn't want heal scratches and scuff on the entry plastic. Next, I just laughed, there were rubber floor mats atop of folded towels atop of plastic covered brand new original floor mats. Not just the driver's side but all four locations of front and rear mats. It was also pretty obvious that towel covers had covered the front and rear seats too; they looked like brand new. I remember 40 years ago, grandpa used to do that with his Buick, but I really didn't think people still covered their cars like that. Well these folks must have and they must have gone the grocery store only two miles away everyday too. 15000 miles over 13 years is only about 3 miles per day. Look at the service and Carfax history in the table below and you'll see, they drove it consistently, just not very far. Wow! That's a new low on a "Non-Collector" car. available dates/mileage 01/27/2003 2 Mercedes-Benz of Oakland Oakland, CA 510-287-8563 mbofoak.com Maintenance inspection completed 07/22/2003 53 Nevada Motor Vehicle Dept.

Las Vegas, NV Title #NV007797506-1 Title issued or updated Registration issued or renewed Exempt from odometer reporting I like it. I want to own it. On the way home from the auction, it was hard not picturing this Mercedes in my life for real. The air conditioning was icy cold and the overall condition was just outstanding. Then when I parked it at the dealership, the line of my children wanting to have it be their gift started to form. Thank goodness they already had they own cars. But needless to say, I still brought it home and had my wife drive it for a month, then my oldest son who also works for me go into a small accident in his car and asked if he could borrow this one (found out later it was a ploy to see if he could convince his girlfriend to trade up). Well, like I have always said, I cannot keep them all nor do I entertain the idea or I'd be broke real quick. So here she is finally going online for some lucky new owner. Yes, my family put almost two thousand miles more on it than what I bought it with. We were just making sure it was great for you. And great she is. The C320 4Matic is all that... Although the C Class cars of 2003 were the entry model Mercedes Benz of their day, this C320 4Matic Wagon was the top of it's class and not cheap either. Almost bursting the $42,000 sticker price, this little gem was more expensive than any of it's competitors of the day. BMW, Audi, Volvo, Subaru, Honda and Toyota were just not in this bracket and there obvious reasons for that. Reading the Motor Trend, Automobile and other automotive magazines boasted high regards for the C320. This particular generation of C Class had finally come out of the fog to be Mercedes Benz quality, something regularly missed in it predecessors. The car was the best of the best on Mercedes Benz took pride in their new C320...as did their new owners...obviously overkill in this case. I'm an enthusiast before I'm a Dealer Buy a pretty, shiny Mercedes from a private individual and you are taking a huge risk. We have fully serviced this car and detailed it almost to like new again. The previous owner of this C320 took exceptional care of their car. We tested it for about 1700 miles. They also don't know how to perform an inspection and don't know what to look for in a used Mercedes. We are Mercedes-Benz experts and it is not arrogance if it's true. This is a top-shelf Mercedes because our mechanic says it is and because we say it is . . . Is it perfect? No! And I always giggle when asked that question on a used car...sometimes even when asked that on new cars. No she is not flawless. The rear bumper has some minor, really minor scuffs and small scratches. On my close up pictures, you'll see them. No way would I suggest repainting the rear bumper especially not before I sell it. I want you to see an honest presentation of this car. If you want it repainted, no worries, but I think you'll agree, it doesn't need it. The flaws on that car are superficial at worst. Just look at all the pictures as I hide nothing and I know you are going to be super impressed. No Damage History I pull Carfax on every car I own newer than 1981...because I can. I do it before I buy them so I know that they haven't been in a serious wreck or have other issues that would change my buying decision. But Carfax is not all knowing and often cannot tell you the history as well as a professional appraiser like me; one that has been doing so for nearly thirty years now. This car sports all of it's original paint, in fantastic condition with only minor blemishes. The interior is the same but seriously near flawless. She is probably the nicest, lowest mile, C320 4Matic Wagon in the nation. Prove me wrong. I can take it. Is she Perfect for You? I have to believe this 2003 Mercedes-Benz C320 4Matic Wagon is a perfect fit for a lot of people. It's amazing low mileage and the time my family spent in this car tells me that I'm quite frankly dumb to be selling it. And, don't believe the myth of a Mercedes costing a fortune to repair. It simply is not true and not only that, a Mercedes breaks far less often than most other vehicles. Mercedes-Benz makes the best car in the world and we have fully checked this Mercedes out and fixed the few small things it needed. It is, therefore, the best C320 in its condition on the planet. If you really want this car, please call me or bid so I don't have to keep beating myself up for not keeping it. How much? Well I can tell you this. I am not asking what it sold for brand new, not even close. But if you are serious, I don't email reserves or bottom lines, that's just a waste of time for me. Pick up your phone, I won't bite or sound like a high pressure salesman, I'm just the enthusiast who bought the car and hopes to find it's next super excited owner. No games, let just make a deal and make it happen with fair figures both ways. Where else are you going to find one like this? No where. Let's chat. Both front bucket seats are like new and beautiful. Steering wheel, like new, wood like new, carpet like new, dash like new. headliner like new...did I say that enough? All the goodies too. Rear cargo room with the seats down makes for a great place to make out if you're still into that. The cargo threshold still has the factory plastic on it. Really? 3.2 Liter SOHC V6 Cylinder Assembly line clean undercarriage . . . This car also has a 3.27 limited slip rear axle.

Original owner books. A note from the owner. I am a “used car dealer” but before that, I’m an automobile enthusiast. I love original rare and high quality modified vintage cars and over the past decade I’ve been in business, have come to appreciate an expanding selection of high-demand, high value vehicles. I specialize in and am always on the lookout for cars and trucks that were cherished by their previous owners. I have an experienced eye for quality but I’ve discovered that my preferred buyer can instantly discern such a vehicle and I have therefore, built my business and reputation around finding these kinds of cars for this type of customer. Super low miles and/or gentle ownership are strict requirements but a car must do something for me on a personal level if there is any hope of convincing you, the bidder, that this is an above average, exceptional vehicle. If nothing about the car excites me, it probably won’t do much for you either and I would soon be out of business. With just four employees and no sales people, I realize how unusual a “dealership” like mine may at first glance appear. It has taken great care and effort to create such an organization and often, an unusually high investment in a particular car we are about to list. To sell the best it is critical to have a trusted expert in my corner and Chris, owner of A-Best Auto Repair in Henderson, Nevada has my back. He and his crew can fix anything; from a low budget beater to the absolute most expensive exotic you can name, no job is too big and no small detail unimportant. They do an exhaustive 130 point inspection on each and every vehicle and nothing escapes their methodical investigation. Experience has shown that everything I spend making a car truly “right” will come back to me not only with a higher selling price, but a happy customer that says good things about me. Moreover; it allows my writer to describe the car with ease and confidence, something that simply is not possible unless he thinks it is true. If major issues are found or the cost of fixing the car the way it should be makes it too expensive to sell, my choice is an easy one. I simply absorb a few hundred dollars loss for my trouble and sell it at auction. After the vehicle is fully sorted it arrives at our facility where it encounters the suspicious eye of Tom, my writer that creates the presentations you see on eBay. He believes absolutely nothing I or anyone else tells him about the car as he combs over every inch, researches its history and documents originality and authenticity. Historical significance, rarity, special features, possible modifications and much more are used to accurately describe the vehicle with integrity and honesty. Most important for the potential buyer are the 100 to 150 high resolution pictures that I take myself. The pricey equipment I use would be right at home in the hands of the very best professional photographers and I’ve developed a logical format that walks you around the entire vehicle with close-up shots of every square inch. I provide detailed views of the interior, under the hood and then put it on a lift to show the undercarriage and confirm that the beauty of the car you are considering is not merely skin deep. Even our detailers are enthusiastic about the cars they so meticulously clean. This reconditioning can sometimes take several days and I’ve converted a paint booth, especially prepared for the professional clay bar and polishing each car lovingly receives. Usually, I’ll also include a high definition video that shows the car doing its thing. If it’s a fast car, we film it going fast. If it’s a 4x4 you’ll see it crawling up a hill. In every case you will hear things like a rumbling exhaust, working sound system and watch the temperature fall on a digital, laser thermometer pointed at an air conditioning vent. How many “dealers” will video a Lotus Esprit doing a buck-eighty? We do. No “dealer,” on-line or in the real world, takes it to this level. No other seller or organization provides you, the buyer, with so much information. I do this because it is the only way I can convince a person; often a world away, unable to touch or feel their purchase, that my vehicle is for real and what I say is the truth. All the above is necessary for me to stay in business while keeping integrity intact. I want every buyer to be happy and I need glowing feedback on eBay. To accomplish that I need satisfied customers that are as thrilled with their purchase as I was when I bought it. If you have any questions at all, please call me on my cell at: 702-353-7500. If your inquiry is sincere and your offer serious, you’ll find me the most accommodating business partner you’ve ever dealt with. If you call or e-mail asking for my reserve or “what is my bottom line” I will be looking for ways to politely end the conversation. Until you are ready to actually pull the trigger, I will happily quote you the absolute highest nationally advertised suggested retail price I can find – a number we both know will not buy the car so, don’t waste your time, or mine. I am after all, a “used car dealer.” Serious buyers know the maximum they can offer. I then must simply decide if I can sell for that number. If you hit the reserve, the decision is no longer mine. I must sell at that number. OFFERS GET MY ATTENTION: 702-353-7500 or Doug@vivalasvegasautos.com If you want to make a deal, pick up the phone and talk a serious offer. 702-353-7500 I don't respond to emails asking for "bottom line, sale price, reserve, or Buy-it-Now" figures on top line cars. THE ONLY WAY YOU GET THOSE FIGURES IS TO CALL ME! The book values posted below are relevant to "real" selling figures. NADA & KBB wouldn't be in business if they posted nonsense. But they only account for averages around the nation. If this car is less than or better than average, bid or offer accordingly.
