anyone from Willamina, Oregon area willing to check this one out?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=6330&item=4537070095&rd=1

I want to find out of this one is worth paying shipping on. I want a clean 116 model. Pretty much impossible to find in the rust belt.
Thanks to anyone that can help.

That back seat looks strangely rippled. What was sitting back there, an elephant?

The rubbreized horsehair pads in 116 rear seats are quite famous for disintegrating with time, even if no one/nothing has sat on them. They tend to cave in just like the photo shows.

All the seat needs is a new rubberized horsehair pad and it will look like new again.

Cheers,
Gerry

I hope W123's don't have the same problems with the cushions.

Wodnek -
looks like a nice car. As far as Ebay bidding goes, do not bid until the last few seconds. Bidding sooner will only raise the price on you. What you dont know, is what condition the engine, tranny etc. is. From looking at his buyer questions, he has may cars and trucks on his property and all of them are wrecks. I would be suspicious about how much care the PO gave it. If you can get it cheap then it may be worth it, but you may have to spend $$$ to fix.
