I spotted that car a few days ago -- I'd never purchase a Merc with that low mileage, but it appears to be B.S. anyhow.

So I emailed the seller in regards to the mileage discrepancy.

Will post his reply (that is, if he *does* reply).

BTW: Sixto can SPOT any detail that looks out of place... amazing!

There also appears to be ROMEX under the hood.

Ted, ROMEX is sheathed electrical wire, you can find it at Home Depot/Lowes/Menards/Fleet Farm. Not normally used in automotive applications.

I can verify at least that some 81 sd's had rear headrests- mine did. Leather, too- I bet they came together-

I noticed that wire as well. Looks like the wiring that is used in buildings. Thats peculiar for a car that supposedly has 26K actual miles.
