that's a thousand less than your last 300sd in glendale, plus it's astral on black--well known as the best color combo for any mercedes ever. plus "The engine runs perfect, transmission is perfect,clean interior, There are no fluid or oil leaks,The body is in excellent condition and straight"

sounds like you can't go wrong for 3.5 g's

go ahead and wire the money directly into my bank account and i'll buy it and 'hang onto it for you'

How close is it to you...

Hey Sev -

How close is this car to where you are - any chance you could scope it out one day and get a good 'visual' of the prospect? Looks like a good candidate...

Thanks,
James

being a diesel newb, i doubt you'd want my advice before driving from denver to la. you'd best hit up diesel911--he's closer to it, and more knowledgeable

The VIN...

Here is the VIN for the Car - WDBCB20ASEA064983 - does it indicate Silver or Blue color does anyone know?! The owner said that it was silver. Also, if anyone has the Carfax active and could check it out that would be much appreciated as well.

James

Thanks for your honesty Sev - appreciate it. I wont be driving from Denver - if I do come out I'll be flying and making a mini-vacation of it with my better half. Thx - James

What is under the dash cover?
Maintenance records?
Photo of the driver's seat showing no rips.
A/C?
Cruise Control?
