This is the guy that buys up all these cars from the original owners and flips them at huge markups.

It would be pretty awesome to find such low mileage cars from original owners. 33k is an anomaly.

There are folks that do the same with older diesel pickups. They command a premium too. Obviously they’re selling so it’s not that huge of a markup I guess.

One can only dream of having such a pristine piece of work in their garage. I hope I can restore my 230K+ mile 300D to this state, but I doubt I can ever match the quality of work the geniuses in Stuttgart achieved
