Buy it or leave it?

I have stumbled across a very clean black on gray 190e 2.6 with 66,000 miles very close to me.

The seller is willing to let me check it out in any way I want.

It is tight. Drives extremely well. Handles well and has some zip.

I can get it for $5k or a tad less. They seem to be going for more than that on eBay with with low miles.

Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks

RE: Buy it or leave it?

We had one and liked it very much. The fuel filters were clogged from gunk and I had to replace them, but other than that it gave me good service. Does the seller have any service history? What year? Check the A/C climate control and the flex disc. Shocks will need replacing too I would guess. Plan to spend around $1,000 a year on maintenance. All the plastic under the hood is cooked from the heat by now. May need a wiring harness if it has not been replaced yet. Offer 4.
