ebay buyers
I am ashamed to admit that I got taken in on an auction from a dealer (fell in love with a 190D and probably paid about 2000 more than I should). You guys are doing a great service for those on this site who might be looking at these cars. I would encourage anyone who comes across a suspect auction like this to let others know as this site is visited by many who are contemplating one of these fine cars. Common sense sometimes goes out the window when you think you've found "the car".

All the Carfax data is from Texas and shows no Florida registrations...the florida tags are the same ones used on his 85SD of the same color....and same paint quality.
Actually, that paint job reminds me of my car....which looks like Earl Schieb breathed on it.....

Yep thats why I try to help anyone in my area who wants one of these cars. Not to brag but I have looked at a few and saved a couple of people a lot of money! Notice my location in my sig, remember that if you want a car near me. Mercedes are tough, to someone who knows nothing about them a money pit can look pretty good.

what do you think of this beauty?
Not to highjack this thread, but what does anyone think about this 300TD. I wish the pics were better. Always concerned about storage and the problems that entails.

What is Westgreen? I've already got serious reservations just because of the intentionally crappy picture with the auction. Why would anyone use a pic that makes it impossible to tell the condition of the paint job? Doesn't take a genius. In all honesty, find it highly unlikely that I will ever buy a car off eBay "sight unseen" and without a compression test, etc. The risks are too high, especially with that has registration or mileage records for the first 10+ years of it's life.

The radio looks like it was in the mud, too. Probably why the display is "8P5" instead of 88.5." Wonder which hurricane this one went through?
