i was looking at a near mint w123 that was at a mercedes dealership.. i did everything.. i was underneath the car looking for rust, peeling under coating, in the engine bay checking fluids smelling the tranny fluid to see if its burnt, just doing everything a w123 nut would do.. they gave me funny looks.. i said.. well i m not going to offer the 10k you guys want for it.. ill give you 2k since i found a rock chip on the hood.. the salesman just dropped his jaw.. it was funny
