What's really weird is that wholesale/auction prices on cars like the '07 E350 (and other similar cars, BMW, etc.) have not really gone down in more than a year. They have been going at auction for the same prices for a year now. Very odd.
Current national average for an 07 E350 at MB auction is just under $25K for a car with an average of 35K miles.
Average for one with lower miles (17K miles) is right around $27.5K.
The economy is a weird thing. It seems to me that the hurting economy has decreased demand for new cars, but increased it for used.
I think "Starmark" etc. is over rated and over priced. They really don't do much, and an 07 is still under full factory warranty anyways. The biggest thing to look for is if the car has been accident damaged. But you have to do that equally with a non Starmark or Starmark car, b/c they don't always disclose accident damage or repaint work.
If you are really concerned about post warranty, you can get an extended warranty from good companies like Warranty Direct.
