I like the statement:
...the transmissionn works just like it left the factory"...

and he knows that from just having driven it !
"Just in time for summer"...? I suppose you could fill it with water and sit in it

How this guy can say "beautiful and unmolested" is beyond me. Flat out lie!
Doesn't ebay check these listings when they go up for obvious falsehoods?

Too bad. Nice car. Bet the owner was super pissed off. Hope he wasn't injured by that (assumed) rear ender.

"Beautiful unmolested 1995 Mercedes E320 6 cyl 3.2 L convertible one owner!"

Including the busted drivers side head lamp and turn signal lens.

I once rebuild something with similar damage....on a part time basis, finished up costing $8,900.00
Would imagine you'd need a rear clip, minimum.

...but there again...KBB says:



Condition Value

Excellent.......$13,800
Good ...........$12,800
Fair............. $11,500

My 300E was rear-ended, similar damage. Ins. co's initial reaction was a write-off. I asked for an appraisal, they agreed car was mint, so it was fixed. Bill was ~$6K CDN. My damage was not as severe as this. The entire rear is crumpled here. Frame alignment, passenger door, two rear quarters, rear panel, trunk lid, bumper/moulding, paint...easy $9-11K repair I would guess.

Not worth it.

Not to mention any collateral damage from the impact, which must have been substantial for that amount of damage.

Well, give the eBayer credit: It's a no-reserve sale, and while his prose is inflated, the pictures leave nothing to the imagination.

I would be very leery of the top ever working or fitting right again also. 11K miles ? How about 112K.

I think there is real value as a parts car; what that amount is might be debatable, but the leather, wood, steering column, headlight wipers etc should be fine and of interest to someone. Maybe the driveline too? If I were closer it would be worth a look as I have a '95 and could use some of the parts mentioned above to put into my car.

That would make a damn fine parts car. If I had a 320 Cab and the space to store it I'd buy it. I bet most of the parts for the top are fine, and I know they are expensive.

Parts car ? Definately. EZ fix ? I don't think so.
