Being unrealistic?

[Sebba]

So forgive me if this bores anyone…

For the past 3-4 weeks, I have been looking to buy a 2005-2006 Mercedes ML 320 diesel (Sport) with about 50k on the clock – my budget is about 18k - 19k

In my opinion, I think it is a fair price for the car but for the life of me I can’t seem to find one for that price – ironically, I would prefer a silver one which I thought would make it easier (as there are millions of them)…

Does everyone think I am being unrealistic on the price or is it a matter of just waiting for the car….

I appreciate that most of the ML drivers are unlikely to sell their car privately and more likely to do a trade-in (and so the trader premium has to be added) but still…

Any thoughts??

TBH I'm surprised they're that much, but autotrader has loads.

This. I'm surprised too.

P.S. what do they add to make an ML sporty then?

Sport has the fron grille & some other bits and bobs...

most of them on auto trader are either quite high mileage or when viewing them are just not right...doors don't shut well (that sort of thing)...

A lot of them are sold...

really odd...good to see that i am not alone in thinking this is wierd.
