'What Will Happen to All These Cars?'

摘要

Glenn was commenting on a 1996 Mercedes 3-Series with 177,000 miles that I had just driven into the shop. The owner was interested in trading it in for one of our vehicles in inventory. I found that the car ran well, considering it was near-ing 200,000 miles. The only problem I noticed on the test drive was the brightly lit Check Engine lamp. I called several wholesalers that we sell the trade-ins to and described the car to them. One vendor was scared of the service issues of a "High mileage Benz." Unfortunately, the other vendor was only willing to pay a maximum of $2,000 for the car.
