dip^*% says it has A M110 engine wtf????

read all the fine print, very funny

Actually, if you read the listing carefully, he's providing a buyer's guide to the W123, and it includes the M110 engine. He does not state that the offered vehicle is included with this engine.

He accurately lists the specifications of the 300D in the appropriate section.

This is one of the few knowledgable sellers of these vehicles, IMHO.

What's the scam?

He offers a small warranty to boot??

winmutt · #6 10-09-2006, 05:16 PM

He has sold flood vehicles and other questionable cars. He is listed on the Ebay scammer stickey..

captainmonk · #7 10-09-2006, 06:29 PM

didnt he try and sell a car last year still had water in the headlights All his cars are pictured in that parking lot to distract us

Yes, he has sold flood vehicles (Remember the 300Td with the water filled headlight, pictured with the same background?) but this one looks very nice. I didn't see any significant blemishes on the car.

Matt L · #9 10-09-2006, 06:56 PM

Yes, this one looks nice. But if you read the description of the one with fish-bowls for headlights, it was just as nice, according to him.

dieseldiehard · #10 10-09-2006, 07:06 PM

I once had a fishbowl fog light on my '83 300D, it was caused by a small chip that allowed rain to go in, but never evaporated out. The H3 bulb still worked!

That is a nice write-up and I remember his always shooting pics with the boats in the background. He's got 100% + feedback, was he selling under a different moniker b4? I can't find fault with that listing, infact if I was selling a car I might be inclined to steal some of the text, SOME of it, because its a bit overdone IMHO.

Matt L · #11 10-09-2006, 07:17 PM

He always has 100% feedback with only a few entries. Look at the transactions sometimes. He rotates usernames often, and uses new ones for small purchases or sales to get that feedback.

How does he get the chrome that darn clean? I wish mine looked like that

catmandoo62 · #13 10-09-2006, 08:05 PM

yep he's a scammer,and it has a piss poor paintjob by my standards.if my sdl paint looked like that i'd hide it in the garage and only go out at night.

And the wheels have been repainted, lug bolts, center cap, wheel weights and all! Not the first time, either. Still, in the pictures it looks pretty good. Wish we had a member in St. Pete who could go eyeball this sleazeball's dirtballs.

I'm so tired of seeing his auctions. All of his cars get a paint job, new carpet, and a new interior, but they're usually clunkers ready to become someone else's headache.

His w123 wagon he sold a few months ago still had the headlights half-filled with water. He's a crook.
