1.I would worry about a guy who can't spell the country where the car is located: B-E-L-G-I-U-M

2. For that kind of money I'd get MB special service (no, not the Gestapo) to do an analysis. I once read where they took samples of the metal in the chassis and discovered that a 1928 car had been re-chassised in 1955, and they could tell by the differences in the composition of the metal. It lowered the price of the car about 40,000. Worth the cost of 11,500 to do, at least for the potential buyer.

I think he confused craigslist with The Robb Report.

Well, he is accepting offers. Probably won't like any offers any of us could make though...
