Their supposed original price of the 1985 230GE is way out of line high. For comparison, my loaded 1984 280GE was the equivalent of US$26,610.00 when delivered new to me in Stuttgart in August 1984. There's no way that a lesser model 230GE will jump to $46,000 in one year. | ||

I guess such car would go around 40k Euro in Germany... Edited by Luky 7/8/2018 7:00 AM | ||
