Interesting, but the interior coach-work does look very "homemade."

waa! that is the 3rd limo in Dallas I see in less than a year!

First diesel though! technically they are 300DL and never come with badges!

The other 2 I have seen were a 280L and a 280EL. I must say the tobacco interior on this one looks better than black interior. And as Jimmy said I would avoid a black limo with black interior in TX!!!

I think it is cool, so there.
The price is way out of line, sure there are not a lot of them. but it is
going to need a lot of work.

If money were no problem, a repaint, redo the interior in black, turbo
engine with a 5 speed and all the latest electronic dodads.
Get rid of the white walls.

I`ve always wanted a Limo, HMMMM, wonder if I could get the wife to
be the chauffeur..

At least it has manual climate controls and no Evil Servo!
It obviously won't make the reserve, much less Buy It Now. Hmmm, I wonder where in Dallas it is......

**edit**
I just noticed the ad says the tire size is 15"! Hmmmm, I wonder......
