this vaguely reminds me of some guy, and his friend, who posted on craigslist a pic of a nice dark red 126 OM603 300 SDL in very nice shiny condition......the asking price, 2500, isnt unheard of depending whats wrong, so i called them, and talked, and so they said how its the second owner, and garage and carport and the owner is a car collector with a bunch of porsche's who just got another Turbo and needs his garage so now the car is outside and he wants to just sell it, the neighbor in back is German and has like 10 123's in the backyard for parts, etc etc etc bla bla bla........so a "benz buddy" and i drove 380 miles into northern central florida in the middle of nowhere to go buy the car.......suspicions arose right away when we got into town and met the guy, and instead of following him to the house to see the car, he led us to a gas station, and we waited for 15 minutes for someone else to show up with the car ("battery was dead needed a jump, etc") is what he said......ok, also not unheard of......so finally as i'm cleaning bugs off the windshield of my 240 D, a smoking, dented, faded rusted POS pulls in......with steering oil gusing out of the pump.....anyways the car was completely demolished, NOTHING (except strangely the front suspension and the driveline) on the car was ok, it was just a disaster all around......so then, instead of apologizing for being liars, wasting our time all day, they switch into "what would you be willing to pay us, offer anything"
we drove away.....poor car......the motor itself idled nice.....
