Blech 300D on ebay

Check this out: 130059693135

He disses the bundts and thinks his new rims turn heads. And he dyed the interior "black" and painted the car blue. At first I thought "bruise," but from the pictures I'm gonna say "blueberry." Too bad.

Coming from someone who usualy swaps out stock rims for bigger styles- those look horrible. tires are way too oversized and the car sits way too high to look right.

I dont even know where to begin.

the interior pic in the dark looks kinda neat though, little purplish hue to it

The car comes with a clean Virginia title. Good luck, and happy bidding!
Um, 5 to 6000 miles on a un registered vehicle? if he lives in PA, and has a VA title... um, am I missing something here? does PA not require title transfer to register the car?

No, THIS is a monster! I just know that somebody will do this to an unsuspecting W123 someday.

Those rims look almost like plain-jane steel wheels with hubcaps to me.

The fact that he lives in PA, has PA plates but a VA title
should raise some red flags.

Quote:
The front end has been modified to accept a
wider rim and tire. The rims have been modified to fit a
Mercedes, they look great!!!
Probably some hack job he did himself.
I don't know how safe that is?


Quote:
All the older Mercedes look so dumb because
of the narrow little tires that got stuck on them, and
what's with the stock rims?!!
They look as wide as stock 195/70s to me.
