Will sell for the right price Text 5703604850"

I saw that one on CL a week or two ago and I thought it was sad what someone did to it. Why would someone want to put a hood stack on a 300SD? I have seen it too many times and it is ridiculous every time.

My dad emailed me this CL ad to check out for him.
1997 Mercedes Benz E.300 Diesel 6 Cilynders


I tried to warn him about salvage title cars but he persisted. Before I had a chance to check it out on carfax I googled the VIN and found this.

1994 Mercedes E 420 turbo

1994 Mercedes E 420 turbo (charleston )

I can only surmise the genius listing this car assumes the picture is of a turbo...

You never know what pops up when you do a google search for all of craigslist.

I've copied the text for later posting, ,I think the PP word filter would blow up if I don't blot out most of the ad. When blotted, it will look like a report from area 51.. . .

And, the paper in the back window is a temp registration tag meaning the car is less than 60 days ( more like sub 20 ) away from when he bought it.

Now, that is epic poetry! I want a "boss-a$$" Mercedes "ehffin" Benz! I guess he got laid too much and he has to sell it now. That or the fact it does not drive. Must be the former... Well, it could be haunted by Jews if one chooses to follow the seller's logic.

That made me lol. Thanks.
I don't think he got laid. But we all know that. Best Craigslist ad I've seen in months. Thanks for posting that SL320.

The car from post 309 is back, but somehow the language is normal.
