LOL, I loved the cheeky little comments from the seller on the engine page and the FAQ page.


Nice car, great presentation.

Hmm. Not a 5k car, thats for sure. Fully federalized and rusty.

Last 5 speed diesel I saw was a 300td with 130k go for 5k. Still kicking myself...

Although that rust looks like a nick in the paint that just took off, which if there are only two or three isn't a big deal. One jackhole point rusted is a piece of cake. Sometimes this is an indication that more is happening but from this picture it doesn't look to bad. Its worthy of a closer look. I would like to drive it, or go for a ride in it to see what the 5 speed is like. I mean bascially thats the only real excitment in this car, otherwise what would it be? Another $2,000 300D.....

It's an interesting car but the rust, no A/C, no turbo and goofy cloth seats are much more of a turnoff than the 5 speed and the euro bumpers add back into the equation.

Then there is the issue of "you can't test drive it because I've had a bad experience in the past" in the FAQ section. Give me a break, the guy is acting like he has a F40 Ferrari or something. Unless I'm shopping for a parts car I don't buy a car until I've had a chance to drive it. Deal breaker for me.

Soooo, now the car shows up on ebay, with no rust and near mint condition!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/300D-EURO-5SPD-LOW-MILEAGE-PRISTINE-NEAR-MINT-CONDITION_W0QQitemZ120234252512QQihZ002QQcategoryZ6330QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

What happened to all of this:

http://rbk3.com/Site/Dings%20%26%20Rust.html

From ebay listing: "All jack points are solid and rust free."

From website:



Anyone else smell the fresh bondo?

From the ebay listing: "No rust anywhere on this vehicle"

From the website:

It would appear that the e-bay seller is a member on this board, maybe he will tell us what happened to the rust.

So he is...I now see he uses the same member name here as on ebay!

Here's his website, maybe the car healed itself after some "spinal manipulation"

http://www.innerphysician.com/

It appears that he might have bought the car recently and is now trying to flip it after fixing some of its "cosmetic challenges" since he seems to be based out of MD and the website is from a seller in Philadelphia.

Checking his ebay feedback he's sold 5 MB Diesels so far this year...in my book that makes him a dealer, whether he has a lot or not.

It would be nice if it had an AC. A 5 speed 300D with sunroof.
