That bumper is horifically misaligned in those pictures. There is that huge gap on it. Not to mention since its an earlier car, it should have lighter colored bumpers!!!! Gah!!!

On my 1988 300TE, the front bumber fits nice and snug against the bottom of the grille. Well, there is a slight gap, but that one is as wide as the grand canyon!
Notice how its snug on the oassanger side under the blinker. Now look at the drivers side under the blinker. The gap gets bigger going from passanger side to drivers side.

A little frontend smash? BTW, the first day of the auction I asked if the wagon had factory paint. His response "the car has been repainted". Nothing more. No description of the quality or cosmetics.

Look at this pic.
 Do you notice anything about the paint under the mirror? Yes, that appears to be the "orange peel" effect.

That mirror too... They were supposed to be grey plastic, but they got repainted somewheres along the way. The newer ones (1990+) have the painted covers. And even then they are glossy!

That wagon was hit at some point, no doubt about it. The hood isn't lined up.
If it looks this bad in the digital pics it must be horrible in person. I bet if you pulled out the plastic wheel well liners you would see that the front fenders are either repiared or simply not original.

So, what are we gonna do if someone finally buys that POS and then shows up here asking for help? Do we laugh or cry? Hate to see someone suckered in by this seller-creep.
