Very nice 240D, a true collector.

Don't miss out on this very nice, all original collector car!

Anyone want to email this seller to put down the pipe for a while? To me this car looks like one of those I see at the local Pick 'n Pull every now and then.

Is this car pink or is my monitor reading the color wrong?

It looks pink to me, but he says it's tan... he also says that the paint can be fixed with a little wax. Not so sure about either of those claims...

I think it's tan. It's probably the setting sun and low quality camera that makes it look pink. The paint would be the least of my worries. How's this: "IT HAS THE DIESEL ENGINE, I HAVE NOT HEARD IT RUN, HOWEVER I WAS TOLD IT RAN VERY WELL"

The part that bugs me -
I HAVE NOT HEARD IT RUN, HOWEVER I WAS TOLD IT RAN VERY WELL
then -
IT DOES TURN OVER FREEY

I guess what he is saying is - I TRIED TO START IT BUT IT WOULDN'T START

His poor punctuation makes this part great:
Quote:
CANT SEE ANY EVIDENCE OF IT EVER BEING WRECKED, HAS ORIGINAL HUBCAPS AND THE OWENERS MANUAL.
So clearly if it has the original hubcaps and "oweners" manual it has not been wrecked. I've always found that to be the easiest way to tell.

But there's no battery! He probably just tried to turn it over by hand. Or he tried to start it and then removed the battery when he realized it wouldn't start anyway.

You dont usually see so MUCH BS packed into a couple paragraphs and at the end the car has no title

Calling that a POS insults my forum name.

oh, what do you expect? the price is only 100.00 so far... it sounds to me like this guy got the car for nothing, and knows very little about it, but someone told him to sell it on ebay. at least there is not any bio-diesel propaganda with it! and no A/C needs a shot of freon... etc. it looks like a simple MB ad to me.
