I would have to say that yes it's probably worth that much cash, since it is not a typical early 90s E-class. It also looks very sharp. I want it now. If the car has all the new pieces listed, and all the major services done, which it seems to have, it should be god for a while. Sure it's a 15-year old car, but there's a lot new on it.
Old Mercedes and BMW hot rods typically will demand prices in the teens no matter how old. You have to spend around $20k to get a real nice E24 M6 for example. There's a point where these cars stop depreciating, and actually start going back up a smidge. I've always wanted an R107 560SL for instance, but good ones start at $20k, even 20 years later.

I would buy that car in a heartbeat. Limited production, normally aspirated porsche V8 in a subtle E series sedan. Talk about a great sleeper. In my book its the Ultimate Q ship for interstate travels. Just make sure you have perfect service records.

Sick car. I'd offer him $14K, though.

If my memory serves me correctly, that was a $90K car when new. As long as it has been properly maintained it is a steal at $15K. Most sell for $25-35k. Like some others have said, it will be expensive to keep on the road.
Awesome car!

Me, I'd rather see the car in stock form (especially lose the 19" wheels), but it does look nice.
