Discovering false and/or misleading pitches about any used car after seeing it - will kill the deal for me in a heartbeat. Everything must match-up when determining the credibility of the car and seller.
Couldn't agree more. I haven't found anything that was intentionally mislead...I lay no claim to be the most savvy car buyer...I'm sure that others would have asked a lot more questions and probably could have scored a better price. But, the car is worth what the buyer is willing to pay for it. This car certainly doesn't fit into my criteria of being the ideal SDL (not the best color, and of course there are things that it needs), however it's damn close based on what I've seen being an old MB diesel owner for the past 4 years. I'm very happy with my purchase, and in the end, that's all that matters.
