Yes, but that tear, makes the car even MORE one of a kind and rare. After all, it's likely the only with that exact tear, of which is of that exact length/width/depth, in that exact spot, on that exact seat....

I'll offer him 50k, just because of the ultra rare tear in the seat..lol

If I get "laser cut keys" for my "D" will it raise the value.
The pics show a very nice looking W116, but there is enough
BS in that ad to steer me away. I would not bid on it.

Laser cut keys...way back in 1980..?

Those things were ground out on the same machine VW used to make theirs back then. The key making technology wasn't that advanced in 1980.

"Laser" anything, was hard to find, and even out the realm of Mercedes at the time.

The ad is a joke, so is the seller. I wouldn't buy that thing no matter what he told me.
