Is GreenBenz Slipping? Fleabay
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/300TD-Turbo-Diesel-WAGON-run-100-VEGETABLE-OIL_W0QQitemZ320222453524QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item320222453524
Usually his cars are only pretty skin deep, but not this one. Way too dark spray paint on Bundts, poorly detailed interior, some rough looking trim, exposed wiring, NO HYDROGEN KIT. Only a $700 option now. Showing 220k, I wonder how far he rolled it back from? Rare interior, I've never seen a w123 with a red interior. Another one destined for a miserble death choking on cold vegi oil.

No Tach?
I thought 300Ds had tachs -- or is that just 84 & 85?

No, all 300's should have a tach....shows the cluster has been replaced or messed with. Its missing the rubber piece around the shifter too....aside from other things.
Poor car, looks in good shape. Hopefully it won't die a horrible death from vegetable oil.

All turbo models have tachs. This particular clock does not match the other guages on the instrument cluster, it is off an earlier model before 1983. Oh.. one other note is according to the door plate, it is actually an '83 instead of a '82 according to the main headline. Also, he stated it is a 300sd in his comments... Sloppy!

I think she came on here and was complaining about them.
I would never buy anything from them nor recommend them to anyone. |

So are you guys saying GreenBenz isn't that reputable? I just saw one of their other cars a silver 300TD which looked really clean, but I do know that's just looks.

Personally, this is what I would say, and this is just MHO. I have viewed at least 6 of their cars advertised (not in person, just online), and have found their descriptions to be lacking honesty. Maybe they don't know, but I seriously doubt it. Take the lack of tach issue. That's been done by them before, so seeing it is nothing new. Does that mean the entire cluster has been swapped? Maybe, maybe not. Them not mentioning anything about it is kind of shady, especially since they claim to know Mercedes Benz'. They tend to throw a cheap paint job on there, as evidenced by lack of something as simple as masking, put one of their "car killer" kits on there, and sell for 7-13k. Not bad business, but I couldn't do it myself. I'm not into screwing my fellow American for profit.

I too think swinggrly came on her complaining about that car. I'm really curious about how that rating got withdrawn. I recall her saying that the car she was sent was not the car she bid on and that it arrived too late to take advantage of EBay's protection plans.

That car looks more beat that the ones that are usually up there... As for the red interior, it's Henna and sort-of rare, my coupe has it, and in leather. It beats pinkamino.

the wood around the shifter looks like it was stripped and finished with the wrong type of finish

It's strange that the negative feedback was taken off of green-Benz, but if you look at her feedback history, green-benz calls her an unreasonable liar and the feedback remains.

Not only was her negative rating of him withdrawn by eBay, so was somebody else's. ... But his feedback against her remains? ... Could eBay be favoring sellers at the expense of buyers?
