The single picture in that ad is amazingly bad. That's all I can say.

I bid on one ebay car, but I drove it first. I would suggest the same for anyone. That car sold for far more than it was worth.

Must have been owned by a German pimp or perhaps one of ours bought it after it hit the states. It will never cease to amaze me how/why people trash these cars?

Just the other day a poster here was wondering about alternate parts sources for his "grey" mkt. MB. He wasn't thrilled about having to wait a week or so for a fuel pump relay(I think that's what it was).

Do you want an auto whose replacements parts are in some/many cases going to take awhile to get? If that's not an issue and you dig gawdy looking MBs, go for it.
