Thumbs down Another one for the list...

This is another example about how much "bad taste" could harm the looks of a nice W124. Please hold back your tears...

I can't believe there are people bidding on it.

There are as of this posting 15 bids, and it has reached $2,750.00!

for 2750 I'd buy it, part out the body and wheels, sell the engine tranny and diff, and make the seats into office chairs.

Where there's a will, there's a way. If bidding for this thing goes over $3,000, I don't know what the world is coming to.

That's one ugly 300E.

Why is it that some men (a woman would never do that to a car) feel a need to do this?

It's like putting a spiked collar on a poodle when what you really want is a rottweiler...

Sad.

You're right Alon, you can do that if you get that "car" for $ 2,750, but the dealer that is offering it on e-bay stablished a reserve price of $ 50,000

Is that crazy or what ?

Actually if you want to buy it now, as Kuan already noticed the price for it is only
$ 68,500

So, who is going to write down the check ?

Bat car Gremlin?

Where is that Bat Car from? It looks like an old AMC Gremlin under all that extra.

John,

Sorry I disagree with you, the interior is not bone stock.

You missed the pine shape air freshners hanging from the mirror.

There's no way you can consider your ride a "Wild Thing" without them.

I am tempted to call these persons and ask them for a public apologize.

Dan,

I am glad that I'm not the only one who took the chance to look out at their inventory.

Are these guys for real ? Did you checked the items they have for sale at the end of their inventory list ?

It seems that they are also trying to make money from old hunting trophies like the "Hanging Black Wild Boar" they have for only $ 2,300 or the "Nyala Heads"

Just as weird and silly as the pictures they are showing...

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH..........My eyes are killing me......AHHHHHHHHHHHH......In my line of work, this individual DEFINATELY has LOST his sense of reality and identity.....He is probably one of the few that can be diagnosed with Mercedes delusions of granduer with schiziod overtones present. I believe from what I have observed,(AHHHHHHHHHHH), can only be treated with daily long doses of shock therapy.....anyone care to donate the battery?
