"3. Full tune up with new plugs, 4. New Injection lines, driven daily, Mint "


Since there are no records offered on the car, this would be a red flag to me - since verifying the vehicle as actual miles would be impossible. The version of CARFAX offered, says basically nothing to prove the mileage indicated.

1) Why would a MB diesel with only about 15K miles on it need "new Injection lines?"

2) What would constitute a; "Full tune up with new plugs," on a MB diesel with only 15K miles? Although the seller identified glow plugs, that doesn't explain the "full tune-up."

3) The seller claims BOTH; "Mint" condition in the ad - now the seller claims there to be; "a buckle on the left front fender."

4) Since buying the car at 22 years of age, he also claims that he drives it daily - yet doesn't state the mileage on car when bought. That means he's driven the car daily for about 3 years......it's hard to believe the car only shows that few a miles on it.

I'm all for a several decades old low-mileage car being worth a ton of money - but there's too many holes in what the seller presents to pay just a lot for the car - with no more than that to go by. I would exercise extreme care in buying this car - were I a serious buyer. At what's bid on the car presently, ($6,500) without proof of it's authenticity - it's already nearly overpriced, and there's no telling the reserve on it. Something doesn't seem to add up in total on the car - all missing and uncorroborated information considered.
