1997 So California Mercedes E300 Diesel Clean Title

For sale is a good running, clear title no accidents on file 1997 Mercedes E300 with all extras and only 176500 miles. The car has been damaged during the rains in January 2008. This was never recorded or reported. If you are a diesel enthusiast and also know how to do the body work, this is the car for you. Get it, invest your time, fix it and drive it or sell it. Best of all with gas prices approaching $4 per gallon this is the perfect car for vegetable oil conversion.
All in all the car is very well maintained,the miles are highway,pampered miles and the most important thing is that you don't feel them at all as every agregate in the car was serviced regularly and if needed was immediately replaced with the original equipment.No expense spared from me and the previous owner and me.
I owned this car a little over a year and did some repairs as well as regular maintenance. Things done:
Oil change (Libro Molly synthetic oil) less than 1500 miles ago.
Transmission fluid change less than 5000 miles ago.
Fuel Filter, Cabin charcoal Filter, and Air Filter.
Tie Rod, Fan clutch, Fuel shut off valve, all plastic clear fuel lines.
Brakes and Front brake disks. Thermostat and radiator hoses.
I also have the right headlight and the rear stop light. The car is drivable and registered until November 08 and you can drive it anywhere in the country.
Priced to sell $5500 firm. Serious buyers only please. Cash and Bank checks accepted only.
The car is located in Chula Vista (San Diego) California. I am selling this car because I am deploying and don’t have the time to fix it. Local estimates run for about $3000. I have the front head light and the rear brake light. Engine is strong and there are NO damages to the engine and transmission. The car drives straight no frame damages.
PM me if you are interested.

I think he's implying that the accident was never reported so an uncrupulous buyer could repair it and sell it with a clean carfax record, not with any record of damage or salvage title like it might ordinarily have. So some sucker down the line will be duped into buying a salvage car and not knowing it (until it becomes evident to him when he starts to see the results of the repairs).

That car is pretty darn near totalled for sure. I don't know what the market is like in SOCAL but around here I can buy a N/A W210 diesel with that kind of mileage for about $1500 more than he's asking for that one.

Good luck with that sale.

That does not look like "damage due to the rains." Could you elaborate on what happened to the car?

Maybe "due to rains" means that it was swept away in a flood or a mud slide . . .

Yeah, hydroplaning. I gues that would be "water damage," wouldn't it? That's spin worthy of the folks on Capitol Hill.

OK to all curious people the car save my life. Hydroplaned on the freeway spun around and hit the center divider. Lucky no other car was hit. Drove off on its own. I am selling the car so some people use their best jujment to whether they will fix and drive it or to use for parts. Also as I said there is no record of anything. This can be positive or negative it depends on your point of view.
