Is this a joke...Ebay

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Mercedes-Benz-190-Series-190D-ONE-OF-KIND-1989-MERCEDES-BENZ-190D-HARD-TO-FIND_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ6328QQihZ014QQitemZ330197309114QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW


Salvage title Does not look like it even sits right. I really don't understand the whole deal with the tranny belt? Who would buy that for 6k

IT GOES INTO REVEARSE VERY SLOW , WE TOOK IT TO A LOCAL SHOP HERE BUT WAS TOLD MAYBE THE TRANNY OIL WAS LOW , THEN TO WALMART THE GUY THERE SAID IT LOOKS LIKE THE BELT INSIDE IS WORN AND MIGHT NEED ANOTHER, WHICH HE SAID MIGHT COST SOMEWHERE AROUND $75 PLUS 2 TO 3HRS LABOUR,

OCT WE WENT TO HALIFAX , WE NOTICE THAT SLOGGISHNESS IN REVEARSEING THE CAR AGAIN , WE WENT ONCE AGAIN TO A LOCAL SHOP HERE THE GUY SAID HE BELIEVE THAT WE NEED A BELT. I FORGOT WHAT HE CALLED IT

I wonder if the manual transmissions have a belt inside that could be changed also?

The guy at Walmart says it costs $75 and 2-3 hours of labor, so it must be true!

Never heard a doctor prescribe: "Sell your Mercedes, and come back next week."

Maybe Barry has had some experience with those Canadian belt driven transmissions.

Well I better run down to Wal Mart (where America has their wrenching done) and have mine checked.

Probably is salvage

She is not worth $6,000 though, wow.

Look at driver side rear quarter, looks like that "backed into a wall" thing crumpled it at that point. Makes me wonder what the other rear quarter panel looks like. But guess I will never know as they do not show a picture of that!!! This might explain the salvaged title

WHEN WE BOUGHT THE CAR THE 68 YEARS YOUNG MAN THAT OWNED BEFORE US BACKED INTO A WALL WITH IT AND WAS TOWED TO THE SHOP WHERE SOMEONE BROKE INTO FOR THE STREO SO THE INSURANCE RENDERED IT SALVAGE BUT WAS LATER FIXED WITHOUT A PROBLEM ALONG WITH AFTERMARKET MP3 STREO,

What does that mean?

Seriously, read his negative feed back. It is rather amusing. All the negative remarks say the same thing. He won it and didn't pay or sold it and gave the wrong item. Then he claims the other people are lying in every comment back. How do all these different people claim the same thing for different products? Because he is a scam. I'm guessing he is driving up the bidding himself hoping that one person will come in over his own bids.

It IS a one of a kind! According to the description, it has a TACOMETER!

I wonder if it also includes a BURRITO GAUGE and one of those fancy NACHO SHIFTERS...
