Damn you're good! I didn't notice any of that stuff (didn't look hard), but the 300TD emblem on the decklid looks off so I figured it got hit in the rear.

Possibly, but he hopefully removed them to paint the car, and the flunkies at Maaco or Earl Schieb put it back on crooked. If you notice the turbo badge is crooked too. Odd, since he didnt remove the door moudlings.

Somebody with a Carfax account should run it so we can all enjoy the history of one of this shady character's vehicles... WBAHD6327SGK48924

That VIN is for a different car - a '95 BMW. Judging from the style of the auction, I'd guess that it was being handled by the same outfit - see this eBay auction (he's pasted the Carfax report into the auction).

If one has a Carfax account (at least the regular ones I've had a couple of times), they'll provide a link that can be used to access a report. The report that's available this way doesn't have to stay the same; one can run a different VIN later, then select that report to be the one that is available through the link. The link remains the same.

Looking at this earlier auction, one can find the VIN of (I think) the car in question.

As seen in that auction description, Carfax is pretty thin on information for this one. The only entry that isn't pasted in there is one is dated 3/23/2006 - sold at auction in Florida at 238,501 miles.

... and that's comin from an ingeneer!
Regards,

The second I saw that photo style, I was reminded of the ol W123 TD with the headlight mounted fishbowls LOL.

I wonder what this guys reserve is set at, like $12,000? With 240,000 miles???? I mean, I already know that apparently if you buy your diesel Mercedes off of E-Bay, it comes with all that E-Bay magic, which will net you like 40 MPG city and 50 hwy, and it will last a million miles, so I guess that must be the deal of the freakin century, especially since it's not even through 1/4 of it's mileage. I just want to see that car in a few years when the maaco paint starts to bubble, and the seats crack from all the armor all.

Note that his Carfax says "Found 4 Records", but only 3 records are shown. I imagine he removed the line about "sold at auction". Manipulating a Carfax is not cool.
