If you look at the picture of the top of the car at the sunroof, does it not appear that the black gasket around the sunroof is now painted?

Picture quality is not super high but seems like some of the discoloration around the body trim may be some overspray or poorly taped off.

Anyway, looks like re-painted to me, no obvious chips up front either, also headlight clusters have had one replaced.

Looks like a pretty sloppy car.

The POS traded for $3658.......... I am stunned, stunned and amazed !!! And heck, the tire tread looked so cupped and inside edge worn that i was thinkin it needed control arms at least - never mind the cosmetics.

The tires on the rear looked like the same tires my grandmother had on her 1965 Dodge Coronet 440 back in the 80s. My guess is that he bought the car and got one of those $99 paint jobs on it and tripled his $$$.

Must be a regional thing, low mi diesels drawing premium in NJ. Remember that 1980 w116 Texas 300SD - one owner w/service records about the same mileage? It traded for $1800. Even with broken window electrics, a decent bargain.

I guess the moral of the story is forget about Jersey if you want to buy a diesel Benz.

WTF is up with that mirror?

Hood doesnt line up, Fogs dont match, paint looks decent but the rims look like A$$, "TurboDiesel" missing, They painted the license plate screws in the rear, Loooks like the oriignal spare is now on the ground, and a newer BFG as the spare, oil,fuel temp gauge is not original, insides of the front tires look BALD, engine compartment is dirty....
