well its raining here. a lot. and i got SOAKED looking at this beast today.
its been repainted for sure. there's overspray on the chrome strips. theere is a hole in the top of the back seat. the car is FILTHY. like. i mean. still has glasses & bank envelopes from the previous owner.
I couldn't get the trunk open. the lock was being worse than that of my 240.
it started up EASILY
seemed to be idling rather high. i have a video && will review actual engine speed.
the guy wouldn't let me drive it unless i put a bid in on ebay "its an ebay sale only, and if i wanted people to test drive it i wouldn't have it online"
but then he did agree that he would do a private sale off of ebay.
he wouldn't go any lower than 2200... but the tag in the windshield said 1900!!! ebay said BIN 2500. only 1 of the windows were functioning.
i got sound out of 2 others. the sunroof was... well... not wanting to go. so i freaked out and quickly closed it.
i pulled back some carpet and no pan rust to be seen. but there is some body stuff.
oh. and on the back bumper...
where im assuming bumper guards would go?!? missing. and the shock thingy (sorry about my teenage termonology) was rusted... to the point in flaking.
oh. and knowing about mercedes and such... the odometer read 129999 and the trip odo said 000.9
my guess is it's broken and he didn't want me knowing.
im pissed
i like the car. but not that much.
if anybody knows about one... i'd like a 116 SD
i saw one the other day while i was leaving work. the guy approached me... man i should have just offered him like 4G right there.
it was AMAZING. just hit 200K
