What a test drive... (archive)

I was out today looking at a 1990 MB 300E, took it for a ride, it was very nice. The dealer then showed me a 1991 750iL and said I should drive it also. I must say that I was quite taken buy the 750. It's looks(wet black), ride, performance, it all was great.

I haven't even heard of this car before today. Not knowing much I left the dealer and came home and started to research on-line. Find out that it was something like 90k new. So why is this vehicle (which looked totally clean) have an *asking price of $16k with 98k miles?

I have somewhat of a feeling for repair bills on German cars, I owned a Porsche in the early 80's and know about $500 tune-ups and such.

Is a used one a good bet? What should I look (or look out) for?

Are there other models that have similar styling/performance?

Thanks in advance!
