Lets face it. One persons pile of crap can be another's shiny new car.
Why else would I have bought a 27 year old car. You ask the moon for
a used car but that doesn't mean you will get it.

Mine is just like this one, but different.

Mercedes Turbo Diesel - low miles - Great Commuter - Reliable Tank! - $1499 (santa rosa)

Around 135K miles on a dependable 85 Mercedes 300D turbo. In Mercedes diesel worlds that is hardly broken in - they don't start running good until around 200K miles! Was used as a daily commute to work car with no problems. Automatic Transmission shifts good and smooth for a diesel. Needs a good wash and wax job. Looks like the one in the photo but mine is Maroon with black interior. Tires are good. This car will last longer than you will! 7O7-2O6-2OO8. Not perfect but a great buy at this price. I've owned Mercedes diesels for almost 40 years now and you can't beat them for reliability and low low cost maintenance

Charlie-
That one is priceless. Thanks for passing it along. If the link disappears, the one missing piece of info is the price, which is $1500.

Even better! The power of a 5 cylinder, the unbelievable economy of a 240D! It's my dream car.

I have a red Ford ranger for sale, should I list it with a photo of a red Ferrari and say that is the same color as what I have listed, or keep a photo of a 500SL when listing a 300d and say same make different model.

charlie's first post, I edited to include uploaded pics, but his second one, with the tree damaged car... the pics are too big. PP will not allow them.
if this happens, the pics need to be uploaded to a photo editing site, and reduced to fit on the site.
time consuming, I know, but without the steps the page will ultimately fail...
