'71 220D 40K miles on e-bay
Southern California car looks in excellent condition on interior.
Exterior, seems suspect. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250410215963&fromMakeTrack=true&ssPageName=VIP:Watchlink:middle:us Last edited by Skid Row Joe; 04-23-2009 at 03:32 PM. |

Interior looks nice but the paint job shows overspray and poor masking. The photos of the trunk look suspicious.

One digit is missing on the odometer. I suspect it will be 3 or 4 but we will never know.

I don't know Joe..... When reading the sellers verbiage my mind was narrating with Billy Mays voice. 5 digit odometer, Hmmm, maybe....

Miles on pre 1981 cars, not always believable
Without good records, I wouldn't believe the miles on a car that old. But people do on Ebay, all the time.
The pictures aren't good enough to verify details. There are some sellers who take advantage of the facts that: You can't verify the history by VIN# on older cars. Old Mercedes odometers fail. Their odometers are also easy to turn back. Caveat emptor. Now, 2 years ago, or so there was a beautiful w114 for sale in the bay area that really did look showroom perfect. It was baby blue. Gasoline 4 cylinder. Anyone remember that one? I wanted it so badly, that I trembled. My fingers kept reaching towards the keyboard to place a bid. I already had 5 cars, and couldn't afford it.

The narrative style and information conveyed seems adequate, but leaves me wondering about the guy. His e-bay account shows a lot of activity, with no negatives.....can't put my finger on it, but the guy seems suspect. Something's missing.

I've been asking e-bay sellers to provide the CARFAX, on a car I may be interested in. Seems they would provide one to help them in selling their cars. Usually get no response.

His feedback is absolutely attrocious if you look back far enough. It seems all his cars are rip offs and only about 1/3 notice it. When they leave negative feedback, he calls them deadbeat bidders and frauds.
Anyone willing to purchase a car from this seller is an idiot, and I hope the seller gets what he deserves some day. One of the feed backs did say, "car came with a cheap paint job".

This is what a site I copied from this forum tells you.
http://toolhaus.org/cgi-bin/negs?User=califvacation Interesting, claims that the buyers who left negative feedback are all non-paying losers. Yet, he continues to stay in the Car selling business.

Good link to research when buying from anyone on ebay because of the flakey way that feedback is now calculated there.
Buyers beware.

Seat?
Quote:
He writes . . ."THE ONLY THING I WOULD DO IS SINCE ITS PRETTY OLD THE DRIVERS SEAT IS A BIT UN-STUFFED." The seatdoes not just get "unstuffed" by sitting around . . . it has to have someone sitting in it, certianly not "MUSEAUM CONDITION" and someone would need to sit in it for more than 40k too, to be worn out! I would let somene else buy it! |
