I'm not sure where this post belongs but I figured I owe it to y'all to call this particular car flipper out in the atlanta area. I just sold my 87 300d a week and a half ago to this guy for $2300 all issues disclosed (it was sort of a basket case but fair condition). Now I see it posted back on craigslist with fresh paint and a few small cosmetic items fixed for $5800. Now, I have no problem with someone making a buck but he is misrepresenting the true mileage (claims 172k when I told him it was really 230K but gave him a spare diesel odometer since the one I had in it was geared for a gasser), and making a lot of otherwise completely false statements about the car which I know to be untrue (I have never run it on synthetic oil and he has no idea how often the previous owner before me changed the oil since I didn't know). This kind of garbage is what makes me hate dealing with people on craigslist. The really sad thing is this guy has several cars posted a month which I am assuming are just as misrepresented. Needless to say buyer beware. If anyone is actually interested I can give you a better idea of the real condition of the car.
