304D? Anyone heard of that?

Here's the response I got when I asked him what he was selling:

> Dan, thanks for the inquirey.
>
> The 304D, tells us that it is a 4-door sedan, with a diesel engine.
> The engine is a 5 cylinder, which is a common feature, and reduces
> vibration.
>
> Lee

I told him I thought he had a 300D and to look at the trunk. He says:

>Thanks for the sarcasm! The title says 304D without regard to all you >know!

I didn't act like I know it all, I just wanted to know what he was selling. Am I out of line? Is there such a thing as 304D?

That's just it...

He says it's a 4 door sedan. That's why I asked him what's on the trunk.

His title says 304D and that couldn't possibly be wrong

Redassago - That's the one!

I just asked him if it's a car or van. Also told him the American versions were 240D, 300D and 300SD for the cars, and I did not include the CD or the TD (wagon).

I think that is how WA lists the vehicle model on the title.

It is kind of like the guy on ebay a couple weeks ago that listed his North American 300TD as a EURO. When contacted, he told us to check NADA. So we did and all 300D, 300SD, 300TD and every other 81-85 benz diesel no matter what options or year you entered in said - *european model. So he was trying to pass it off as a euro.

Can't argue with an irrational person. Just let him think it is what it is and let him sell it to another moron.
