Hi there. Hope all is well.

My name is Steve Lang and I have been writing about used cars, auto auctions, and my own personal travels since 2006.

I am also developing a long-term reliability study that recently got some interest from Yahoo.

This Monday at 1:30 PM, there will be a 1991 Mercedes 300E that will be auctioned off at a Carmax wholesale auction here in Atlanta.

I have already gone through the Carfax history for this vehicle (VIN: WDBEA30D4MB317053) and although these vehicles have a history of broken odometers, it appears that this vehicle may have the right miles. I will be happy to send pictures and the Carfax history of this vehicle upon request.

If you are interested, feel free to reach me at steven.lang@alumni.duke.edu . My fee for purchasing a vehicle for enthusiasts is $300 (usually I charge $500 for other private parties) and I would expect a vehicle like this to sell right around the $3500 to $4000 range. The auction charges approximately $175 for their auction fee.

Hopefully I can keep this with an enthusiast instead of someone's grandkid or a buy-here pay-here customer. I will be happy to also download pictures of the vehicle when I am at the sale as well so you can see exactly what you would be possible purchasing. If you are interested, feel free to contact me.

All the best!
