Rust was so bad grass was growing through a big rust hole in the fender. It did not start or run. What a waste of time.
Everyone should do their own due diligence first, either call or check recent pictures. It happens with all kind of transactions, not necessarily with MBZ. You were more than happy with the price as you were 'with cash in hand'. You were attracted by the low price, I presume. If it is too good to be true then it probably is. I don't think there is any mis-representation, it is your preconception. Buyer needs to beware of too low AND too high a price.
