Dealer's notes

Carma Certified 90-Point Inspection Road Tested, Inspected, DocumentedBacked by our Quality Plus Auto Protection Plan. Proudly serving customers with over 22,000 vehicles sold.2006 Mercedes-Benz E320 CDI Gold over Tan LeatherEnthusiasts call the mid-2000s E320 CDI "peak diesel" for a reason. Its 3.2L OM648 turbodiesel inline-six the last of Mercedes' legendary straight-six diesels before the brand moved to the more complex, less bulletproof V6 CDI engines is famous for running well past 300,000 miles with routine care, delivering nearly 370 lb-ft of torque and remarkable efficiency along the way. 2006 was the final model year for this specific engine platform, making it one of the most sought-after years to own one. We were confident enough in this example that we road tested it over 1,000 miles before listing it. What You're Actually Getting Carma 90-point inspection road tested over 1,000 miles, inspected, and documented before delivery OBDII scan confirmed: all drive monitors completed, zero stored or pending trouble codes CARFAX: no structural damage reported, no airbag deployment reported, no indication of an odometer rollback across either owner 30 service history records on file this car has been meticulously maintained its entire life Significant recent reconditioning performed at our own Duluth Auto Service & Imports itemized below 1 key and the original owner's manual books included Real ValueCARFAX's own History-Based Value for this VIN came in at $7,280 a figure that already reflects two accident reports and an open recall as negative factors, per CARFAX's own analysis. We cross-checked that against comparable diesel E-Class listings currently on the market; a comparably-equipped, lower-mileage 2008 diesel E-Class we found listed at $7,990. Given this car's higher mileage, we're landing on a conservative base market range of $6,500 to $7,800.Where this car earns its keep is in what's actually been invested in it recently. Our own shop, Duluth Auto Service & Imports, performed extensive work on this vehicle in the past month, itemized in full in the Vehicle History section below approximately $4,160 in documented parts and labor at retail rates, including a full engine/powertrain computer module replacement.Combining the market range with that recon investment, our Quality Plus Auto Protection Plan ($300 value), and our 5-Year Maintenance Plan ($2,500 value, no year or mileage restrictions), this vehicle carries roughly $13,460 to $14,760 in total value. Price is only what you pay, but value is what you get and on this car, the story is genuinely in the recent work, not just the book number. Features & Specs 3.2L OM648 turbodiesel inline-6, 201 hp / 369 lb-ft torque Rear-wheel drive 5-speed automatic transmission Gold exterior Tan leather interior Sedan, 4-door Vehicle History (Full Transparency)This E320 has had two owners the first in Arkansas from 2005 to 2016, the second in Tennessee from 2016 until this year. CARFAX reports two accidents: one on 11/2/2009 with no further detail provided, and one on 4/21/2016 involving damage to the right front. In both cases, CARFAX reports no structural damage and no airbag deployment. Given the two reported incidents and this vehicle's mileage, we'd encourage taking the pre-purchase inspection below seriously rather than treating it as a formality.Service history is extensive 30 records spanning both ownerships across multiple Mercedes-Benz dealers and trusted independent specialists, showing consistent oil changes, brake service, alignments, and wear-item replacement throughout the car's life.Recent reconditioning at Duluth Auto Service & Imports (documented in full): pre-delivery inspection completed (no charge); ABS system checked; battery/charging system checked; engine/powertrain computer module checked; air filter replaced (approx. $110); cabin air filter replaced/cleaned (approx. $185); blower motor replaced/repaired (approx. $410); engine/powertrain computer module replaced (approx. $2,100 note that real-world Mercedes dealer quotes for this specific repair on CDI diesel platforms often run higher, into the $3,000 $4,000 range, so this is a conservative figure); fuel filter replaced (approx. $190); fuse block replaced (approx. $100); headlight(s) replaced (approx. $55); hood shocks replaced (approx. $90); mass air flow sensor replaced (approx. $450); oil and filter changed (approx. $180); wheel speed sensor(s) replaced/repaired (approx. $290).Total documented recent investment: approximately $4,160 in parts and labor at retail rates this is real, recent work, not routine wear items padding a number.Wondering about the color? CARFAX's registration history shows this vehicle noted as Gold throughout the first owner's decade of ownership, then consistently as Turquoise throughout the second owner's decade a full switch that lines up closely with the 2016 ownership change and accident. We're describing this vehicle as it presents today; ask your sales consultant if you'd like more detail on this vehicle's paint history. Buyer's Guide & Realistic ExpectationsLike every used vehicle we sell, this Mercedes comes with a federal Buyers Guide posted in the window and signed at purchase it plainly lists the major systems (engine, transmission, drivetrain, electrical, and more) and discloses that used vehicles are sold with no implied warranties beyond what's stated in writing. That matters here more than usual: this is a 20-year-old vehicle with 206,000+ miles, two reported accidents, and a genuinely complex diesel drivetrain. We've invested real money into recent recon and road tested it over 1,000 miles because we wanted confidence in it ourselves but a used vehicle at this age and mileage will always carry more uncertainty than a newer one, and we want you going in with clear eyes, not assumptions. The As-Is acknowledgment you'll sign is a separate, narrower document from this Guide.Given this vehicle's accident history, mileage, and drivetrain complexity, we strongly encourage a pre-purchase inspection at a Carma-verified shop, on-site or within a 10-mile radius, prior to finalizing your purchase and once terms are agreed upon this isn't a formality on this particular car.

I drove 4 hours to check out a truck from another dealer and left disappointed. I was pretty sure I’d be driving home empty handed but I decided to swing by Carma since it was on the way home. Really glad I did too. I found the perfect truck and Jacob made the entire process a breeze. No pressure or sleazy tricks, just real people and fair prices.

We had such a great experience with Valentina! This was the first time buying a car for my nephew and she was so patient and thorough throughout the whole process. We would give her more stars if we could! Great job Valentina!
